Its genre is doubtful, as it is neither
distinctly clnssic nor modem iu Mvle
and there was not n sufficient back

highly colored solo Instruments which
made up the instrumentation of the
work. The third movement, a gavotte

effective and best suited to the peculiar
Instrumentation etnplo.ved Tho com

PHILHARMONIC GIVES
FIRST CONCERT
Local Soloists Appear With Suc
cess in Orchestral Program
Led by Mr. Thunder
An audience that filled practical
every sent at the Shubert Theatre
heard the first concert of tho Phil
harmonic Society. The orchestra of
the society, under the leadership of
Henry Gordon Thunder, was made up
of members of the Philadelphia Orches
tra, which, therefore, guaranteed of
itself a good performance.
The program was a little too long, as'
encores were permitted, thus iiiMing to
the original length materially. The
orchestra plajed well, there being but
few- "slips," and Mr. Thunder con
ducted with skill nnd temperament. The
orchestral numbers wcro tho "Phedre"
overture of Massenet, Gounod's
'Tuncral March of a Marionette," two
movement nnff'j symphony, ''In the
Forest" nnd tho 8econd Hungarian
Ilhnpsody of Liszt.
Two soloists were presented, both
Philndelphlan". In accordance with the
policy of tho Philharmonic Society. The
first was J, Helffenstein Mason, basso,
who sang "Si lo rigeur" from "La
Juive" of Ifalcvy nnd "11 lacerto
splrlto" from Verdi's "Simon Boccnne
gra." Mr. Mason has a good bass
voice of especially fine quality In the
lower icglster and sang with smooth
ness of oice production and ease of
manner. He was encored after both ap
pearances and sang songs with piano
accompaniment
Tbe other soloist wns Israel A'ichnln,
c fifteen-year-old boy who displajrd a
finished, "smooth technique, excellent
tonal quality und control, and n matur
ity -of musical comprehension quite re
markable in ouu of his age. He plncd
Chnmlnade's Concert piece, Op. -10,
with orchestral accompaniment. The
work is really a short concerto In one
movement and makes very considerable
demands of the solo player, more tech
nically, perhaps, than mentntly. Though
orchestrated rather full.v, .Master Vich
ulu had no difficulty in making his tono
predominate at nil times and his per
fnrmnnce was sane and conservative
without lacking nuj thing in tempera
mental qualities. With proper develop
ment tho young man should go far as
an Interpretative artist, lie was obliged
to play again and gave tho "Cam
panella" of Liszt, surmounting its
enormous difficulties with apparent ease,
nnd then played a Debussy number in
response to tbo demands of the audi
ence. During the evening, Doctor Ham
mond, president of tbe society, made an
appeal for members to carry on the work
of tbe organization, and application
blanks which were attached to the pro
grams were then collected from those
who digued in the audience. It Is be
lieved that the membership of the
society was nearly doubled from last
evening's concert.
