The ladles send forth workers from tlin

IXXES' BAND ENTERTAINMENT
Meritorious Concert by tho Ladies' White
Orchestra The Experience of a Music
Committee in Search of a Sopruno.
Personal and Other Notes.
The entertainment by the Innes band
in this city several weeks ngo created
an Impression upon the audience that
has been unequalled by any musical
orgnizatlon that hus ever visited Scran
ton. The historical spectacle, "War
and Peace," contains features that
please all, from the most' severe ad
mirer of classic music to the member of
the rising generation who goes wild
over the booming cannon and other
accompaniments to the vivid pictures
of war. There seems to be something
in the spectacle that pleases everybody.
This probably accounts for Its great
popularity. At the entertainment giv
en by the Innes band on their return
engagement at the Frothlngham this
afternoon and evening the quartette
of vocal soloists who assist In the con
cert will be strengthened by the add!
tlon of II. M. Imimno, a celebrated bas-
F. N. INNES.
so, who has never appeared In Scran
ton. The programme of the first part
will be varied, though it will be of equal
excellence to the one which delighted
our muslcnl people several weeks ago,
and will include the overture to "Will
iam Tell," which Is without doubt the
favorite overture with the muslcul
masses the world over. The spectacu
lar effects will be equal to those given
at the other entertainments, nnd mem
bers of Company D, Thirteenth regi
ment, and veterans of the war of the
rebellion will appear In the grand
marches and battle scenes. From pres
ent Indications It Is safe to predict that
the Innes band entertainment will be
witnessed by leven larger audiences
than upon the former visit of the or
ganization to this city.

At the recent test given to vocalists
who were desliious of filling the posi
tion In the Elm Park quartette left
vacant by the resignation of Mrs.
O'Brien, ten applicants were heard.
But none came up to the standard re
quired. It is said that some very amus
ing incidents were connected with the
contest. One applicant stated that she
sang nothing but oratorio music nnd
desired to give the music committee a
selection from Handel. As no copies
of oratorios were nt hand, the lady du
ally consented to substitute "Where Is
My Wandering Boy Tonight-" Anoth
er vocalist desired the committee to
pay attention to her breathing. She
stated that her methods were superior
to those of the average singer In that
she breathed from the vicinity of her
spine. An aspirant for the position of
solo soprano residing in the lower part
of the Btate, whose voice has not been
heard, addressed the chairman of the
music committee by letter something as
follows: "Dear Sir: I- would like to
apply for the position f leading so
prano In your church. I am a brunette
with blue eyes; am five feet and one
Inch in height and weigh 130 pounds."
No other qualities as a vocalist were
mentioned In the letter. It may be that
In rejecting the advances of the bru
nette with blue eyes the committee has
made n mistake and has allowed nn op
portunity to secure a star fo pass un
heeded.
II II II
The first concert given by the Ladles'
White orchestra nt the Frothlngham
on Tuesday evening was . pleasing
musical event that was greatly en
joyed by those present. The young
ladles of this excellent organization,
under direction of their handsome con
ductor, interpreted the various orches
tral numbers with remarkable taste
and dellcncy and gave evidence iof
their thorough comprehension of the
motive of the composer in every in
stance. The ladles' orchestra Is an In
novation in music in this section of the
state that cannot fail to meet with suc
cess. Already there has been demand
for the services of the ladles' orchestra
from neighboring cities and, it Is under
stood, Manager- Lalne Is arranging
dates for entertainments to be given in
the near future upon occasions when
the orchestra Is not employed nt the
Frothlnnham.
II II II
Miss Annette Reynolds., the well
known contralto, added new laurels to
her excellent reputation as a vocalist
at the concert given by the ladles' or
chestra nt the Frothlngham on Tues
day evening. Miss Reynolds possesses
a voice of remarkable compass and
power and her efforts on Tuesday even
ing were recognized by enthusiastic ap
plause. The excellent voice and fine
stage presence of Miss Reynolds In
sures the talented singer marked recog
nition In high class concert work upon
all occasions.
I II IP
Mrs. Kate Crossln O'Brien, solo so
prano at Elm Park church, has resigned
her position. Mrs. O'Brien has been
identified with the musical features of
the First Methodist chiirch for many
years and during her terms of service
has attained a degree of popularity
that is not excelled by any other vocal
ist In the city.

Miss Draeger, contralto, nnd George
Carter, organist of Elm Park church,
will appear at an entertainment given

The Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church choir will give a rendition of
'Bethany" on Nov. 13. The boIo num
bers will be interpreted by Miss Mar
garet Jones,, contralto, , of the Penn
Avenue Baptist church choir, and
Charles W. Jones, tenor, of St. Luke's
choir. ,
II II II
Miss Mamie Nlland, of Green Ridge,
astonished the audience at the concert
given at Taylor on Monday evening by
.... s I
her meritorious rendition of the popu
lar ballad, '"When Summer Comes
Again." Although but 14 years of age,
Miss Nlland ' possesses a full soprano
voice of remarkable compass and flexi
bility which, under proper cure nnd cul
tivation, promises to become phenome
nal. We have seen letters from New York
city offering Mr. Tallie Morgan the
most flattering inducements to take a
church choir in the metropolis. Mr.
Morgan is admittedly a success as a
choir conductor, and Mills. Moody,
Stebbins, Weeden, Bliss, Schlverea,
nnd many ' others have public
ly testified to his ability along
this direction, and the proba
bilities are that in less than one
year Mr. Morgan will be located In
New York.

The Musical Director, Tallie Mor
gan's new monthly Journal, will make
Its appearance on Nov. 15. It will be a
handsome twenty-page Journal, and
5,000 copies of the first number will be
circulated free of charge. The, Direc
tor will contain several pages of orig
inal music, and the reading matter
will be altogether of local Interest.
How to read music at sight will be one
of Its prominent features, nnd this de
partment alone will make the Journal
of great value.
Miss Guthrie, soprano, of New York
city, will sing at Elm Park church to
morrow. The Epworth League chorus of forty
voices from the Elm Park church is
rehearsing the cantata, "The Story of
the Cross," under the direction of Fred
Whlttemore. The cantata will be pre
sented ns soon as a soprano has been
secured for the church choir.
II II II
John T. Watklns has organized a
choir of 125 voices. The singers meet
on Wednesday evenings at St. David's
hall for rehearsal nnd are making prep
arations to compete for prizes at Al
lentown on Thnnksglving Day.
II II II
Among the promising young lady vo
calists of the city who bid fair to be
become celebrated In local musical cir
cles, nt least, may be mentioned Miss
Marie Gllgallon, soprano, nnd Miss Liz
zie Phillips, contralto. These young
ladles acquitted themselves with credit
nt the concert given by tho Price Li
brary association at Taylor on Monday
evening.
