Show CONCERT NETS ABOUT $250 Program Was an Exceptionally Excep-tionally Good One Rendered Under Rather Trying Circumstances The Henetlt Hand Conceit at tio tabernacle Wednesday evening was t& an unequalcd success In many wajs. ""' In the lirst place, no concort lias ever been in the tabernacle with such uniformly uni-formly satisfactory numbers on the program. In the second place it is doubtful If a program was ever ren-dercd ren-dercd theie In which there was greater great-er success in securing good long waits before and after evsry numbcr; and most certainly no greater success In securing a complete absence of heat In the building Is on u-cord. The success lirst named is Indeed very gratifying 1 and It is.truc that the latter successes were unavoidable. In a linanclal way the affair was what might be called a doubtful success. suc-cess. More people were present than the committee anticipated during the day before, yet not as many were pie-sent pie-sent as the occasion seemed to warrant. war-rant. The total proceeds amounted ! to about 2.70, making as man as fioo ! present. The Program. So far as the individual numbers on the program aic concerned, naught but praise is offered, and as a whole the program was undoubtedly one that I gave great pleasure. Despite the ' walls and the chilly atmosphcie, the I entire audience remained until the lisJTjSj last number was Mulshed and never at f" uny time was there lack of enthuslas- tic appreciation. The Logan City Hand uumbciing fouitecn Instalments, under the dliee- tion of Prof. Thomas, gave the Hist number and though the bo)s had been together for but two or thiec practices ihey made a showing of which none need be ashamed. Their ' Gloria," a match, was a tuneful thing, struck the popular choid and ' the boys had to respond. Theoiganl- i yatlon appeared only to ghe the audi- ! euce some idea of what might be ex- pectcd in the future, and the heaieis expiessed a heatt) appreciation. cordon (iarrelt, pianist, Is not a I professional, a stai he has never claimed thai for himself nor has it ! ever been claimed for him. He is a boy ot eighteen, a machinist, worker in Iron and steel for four ycats, and after hours lias devoted his time to music. Considering these facts he i gave a really remarkable performance, ) and to all but musicians who delight most in perfect execution, no excuse need be made. Ills "Alice" was pleasing, pleas-ing, highly pleasing, to his audience if i tho spontaneous outburst of applause, i continuing until ha reappeared, may ! be taken as an indication, i .ludith Andcisou, of Salt Lake City, I was tho star of the occasion, and without doubt won her audience. She has a contialto olce that Is very 1 sweet, and while she did the doubtful yjJF?Ji thing of singing her heavy numbeis ' In olhei 1 1 i.i n English, she was well received and compelled to icspond. Her "Lullaby" for the lirst encore was veiy pleasing. Her "Happy Days" was rendeied with a depth of feeling and an iulerpictatlon that was indeed delightful Miss Anderson's pait of the program could not have been better bet-ter tilled, The Thatcher Orchcstia's two numbeis num-beis wcie supcillne and appreciated to the fullest extent. In concert Utah has no musical organization that Is its peer. The delicate shading and perfect movement and quality of tone proclaims the artist at each instrument. instru-ment. "Dew Diops" was a light I piece, bright, brce.y, beautiful; the overture, "Tancrled," was heavy, ft grand, full of volumno and in Its In- I terpretatlon told a story of deepest In- B tcrcst. Hoth numbeis were greatly B enjoyed. H M Iss Jennie Kllason, In her leading B of "Tho Mustard Plaster" was the H success shoalwaj sis.

She then presented the troubles of the "Little teensy weensy" bojs who arc alwajs made to do Just what they don't want to do. Miss Kllason was a splendid success Lastly came the A. V. Military band and "the bo)s" covered themselves them-selves with glory. In the concerts tlii gave last jear their music was delightful, alwa)s satisfactory l but it was more than that Wednesday evening. As the audience left the tabernacle the wilier heard many say that this band was the best thing on the progiam, an exceedingly high compliment. Prof. 0. W.

As It was, It was enjoyed, but the chilliness of the atmosphere, the enfoiced wait at the beginning and between numbers took the edge from the perfection of the evenings pleasure.
