! produces a nervous strain that reacts
unfavorably on the performance. Be
sides, these big musicians who come TO
| San Antonio during season, are, IN
sense. our guests, and many of them
must feel it a deliberate discourtesy
| TO be forced to wait until o o'clock TO
| begin a performance that has been an
noupced for s :15.
In the larger cities of the country.
when program is advertised TO begin
| at s, the doors of the hall are closed
| when the hour arrives, and the late
| Corners are required to stand outside
and wait until the act or the group of
songs or whatever is being given, has
been concluded. This is exactly right
that the tardy arrivals should pay
the penalty for their carelessneSs. BY
waiting for them, as we do, II is the
| artists and the patrons who are prompt,
who are punished, and a positive prem
| ium is put on the lack of considera-
ton shown by late arrivals. This is,
obviously, unjust and unreasonable.
There is no one who dislikes being
| Inconvenience as much as does a per-
son who has not the slightest regard
for the comfort and convenience of
| others. III these late Corners were, three
or four times, forced by closed doors
| TO stand in a lobby and wait they
| would find themselves on the high
| road to being cured Of a very rude
| habit.
There are many splendid memories
| connected with the beautiful programs
of the San Antonio symphony Orches-
| ira, and ranking high among its many
claims TO our admiration and regard,
\ was the precision with which each per-
formancc began exactly at the hour
! appointed.
The ST.. Anthony Hotel has secured
| the services of Mr.. and Mrs. Julian
Paul Blitz, 'ccllist and pianist. and

public of San Antonio. The concerts

clans of the trio will have the assist

Mr.. and Mrs. Blitz and Mr.. Karcher
are too well known to the public of
