Show j Too Many "Newly Weds" I A great throng of music lovers of this and neighboring towns enjoyed 1 a splendid band concert played by the Springville band Sunday evening, under the direction of E. ; L. Faux, music supervisor of the Springville high school, who has been chosen as leader : of the local band. ; It was the first concert of the season, and if the vast crowd that attended it is to be : taken as a criterion, Springville loves music, and the musicians fairly outdid themselves ' to give a good concert. . But with the coming of the band concert comes the usual crop of kiddies, many of whom, it would seem, try to imitate Snookums of funny fame and OH, what a lot of : "Newly Weds" there seem to be. Just the type of "Newly ; Weds" that are giving Snookums his training. Last Sunday evening much of the pleasure was taken out of the concert by a veri- : table flock of these "Snookums" flittering here and there about the band stand in front of the musicians, screaming and scampering between, the audience and the musicians. It ; seems a shame that our citv officials should have to take what might appear to be harsh : measures against these kiddies to maintain p Jace, but that is just wliat is going to happen if parents have no regard for the rights of others. Of course, all are welcome to join the throng and enjoy the music. That is the ob ject of these concerts. But we arc informed that there is no possible chance of any one eijoying them unless greater order is main-j: main-j: tained. Moreover, these concerts are sacred, and the band is making an effort to play only the belter class of music that which is intended to inspire the audience. In this connection con-nection it might not be amiss to remind those who listen 1 rom automobiles, who after each number set up a terrific bedlam of sounds from their horns in appreciation of the num-! num-! Ik rs played. ' While the musicians appreciate the response to their numbers, attention is called to the fact that it is the Sabbath day and the h mking of these horns is in sharp discord ; with the sweet tones of the music,' and to mlny seems unbefitting to the occasion. It is the hope of many who heard last Sunday's concert that a few of these discord-; discord-; ant sounds may be corrected during the serie3 of concerts, and especially those coming from unrulv youngsters. . , . |
