The ceremony was performed by

The great hall, whose richly

most beautiful of weddings to have
taken place in this magnificent
room Of the Spanish renaissance
period.
Palms at Altar
The altar at the end Of the room
was a mass of the rarest of spring
blossoms, jonquils, peach blossoms,
multicolored cincerarias, lilies of
the valley, tall graceful palms at
the sides of the improVised altar.
AS Mary walked down the aisle
on the arm of Mr.. Hearst, she was

Piano students need not take
this example too much to heart,
for only one who has mastered the
piano by thousands of hours of
hard practice can hope to concen-
trate enough away from the piano
to derive much good from such
silent practice" But what good
alibi it would be for youthful clock
watchers.
With Lieut.. Charles Benter alb
sent while attending the American
Bandmasters Association conven-
ton in Milwaukee, the assistant
conductor, Alexander Morris, oil
rected the concert last night Of the
United States Navy Band Sym
phony Orchestra at the Navy Yard
Sail Loft.
Several deserving works that are
seldom heard were performed last
night, including "Endymion," a
suite of three orchestral scenes
after Keats poem, by Arthur Hin
ton; Henry Hadley's concert over
ture, "In Bohemia" and the second
and third Hungarian Dances" as
well as the better known first
dance.
An especially fine performance
Of Moussorgsky's tone poem, "A
Night on Bald Mountain" was
heard with a wide range OF dra-
matte color. The rich orchestra
ton of Wagner's Prelude to
"Lohengrin and the melancholy
lyricism of Schubert's "Unfin-
ished Symphony" concluded a
concert of delightful contrasts.
Contraltos and baritoneS were
evidently at a premium last night
at Roosevelt High School when
the Estelle Wentworth Opera
Group presented the Gilbert and
Sullivan operetta, 'Pinafore," i" with
Sir Joseph Porter and Captain
Corcoran sung by tenors, and Lit
tie Buttercup sung by soprano.
Thus it happened that when Sir
Joseph Porter sang the lines order
ing Ralph Rackstraw down to the
dungeon, the dungeon" was up
in pitch instead of down low as it
is written. But these trifling dis
PARTIES did not prevent the group
from entering into the light spirit
of the operetta with a gay aban-
don that was much appreciated
by the large audience.
The cast was well drilled and
the choruses were sung with good
discipline in attacks and enuncia-
tion. One simple set of scenery
was used for both acts, but this
was well made up by the colorful
costumes. Miss Wentworth playe('
the piano accompaniment.
