Conway Ashton Closing hymn, "True to the Faith.'' Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Dates Fixed Four dates in Utah have been arranged by Manager Fred C. Graham for the, famous fa-mous Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, for this season. They are: Logan tabernacle, taber-nacle, February 13; Salt Lake, at the Auditorium on Richards" street, February 14; on the morning of February 15 at the University of Utah for the students of that institution, and at Provo the . same evening. Salt Lakers will not soon forget the wonderful performance given by this orchestra or-chestra last season at the tabernacle. Declaring that "there are few orchestras orches-tras in the world that can be ranked with 1 the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra." and placing it in the same class with the Thomas orchestra of Chicago and the Boston Symphony, a writer in the Outlook Out-look discusses the visit of the Minneapolis Minneapo-lis organization to New York and other eastern cities. He continues, that "Minneapolis "Min-neapolis has a renson to be proud of its orchestra," and "the eastern cities have to look to their laurels." The Outlook writer says: "Time whs when such music as the modern orchestra gives could in the west be heard only as it was given by an orchestra or-chestra from the east. Inestimable service ser-vice was rendprerl to the country by what Theodore Thomas did in his travels with his orchestra. Now the eastern cities have to look to their laurels. "For example, there are few orchestras : in the world that can be ranked with the Minneapolis orchestra. An orchestra such as this is like an individual it has 1 a soul and body. Its soul is its musical qualities: its body is its financial support. sup-port. Emli Oherhoft'er. the conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, is the creator of its soul, while a group of public-spirited men and women of Minneapolis Min-neapolis is the creator of its body. Minneapolis Min-neapolis has a reason to be proud of its orchestra. It belongs in tlie same class with the Boston Symnhonv orchestra and the Thomas orchestra of Chicago."
