WANGANUI ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY

Tho programme to he submitted by this Society at its concert on Wednesday evening next is perhaps as attractive as any yet given. The overtureis the charming "Mirrella" of Gounod— who will also bo represented by his. beautiful "Adagio." Two movements of tho Immortal "Front" quintet of Schubert will b& given with Mr Gordon' Mcßeth at the piano, Messrs W M-c-Caul. Maurice Cohen, Collier and Holden nlayin-g violin, viola, cello and bass, respectively. This work which has never before been heard in "Wanganui should bo an irre?istabb- attraction to musciaF people. The charming Loin dv Bal"* for muted strings which was so well received at the last concert, by request, will be repeated. A novelty here is 'tiie graceful and piquant ' "Aubade Printamere" by Lacnmbe, one of thedaintiest mora?aux of the Exhibitions orchestra. The programme will also ir-chide an entrancing waltz "Ange D'Amour" by Einil Naldteufel, the French king of waltz writing as Johann Strauss is "of the German waltz, the stirring "Pomp Circumstance" march of Sir Edward Elgar and the "Taanhanser Marclr' of Wagner. S.'irely this is an attractive programme. The orchestra will be re-inforced by-outside assistance, and the mambors of the Society may expect good results from Hie earnest pracetice of the members. Madame^ Briggs will give "Sing Sweat Bird" with orchestral accompaniment, and a ballad. Miss Ina Gow. an accomplished pianiste from the staff of the Girls1' College will play a pianoforte solo,, "the Concert Study in D Fiat" by Liszt. The box plan opens this morning at Messrs H. I. Jones and Sons. On' Tuesday evening the final practice will be held at the Opera House. Members and their friends are invited toattend, so as to familiarise themselves with the works being performed.

"So the old place is to see its last merry Christmas this year." Santa Clans was gazing at Wilton's Avenue Pharmacy. ' "Well, well, 1 can't helpbains sorry, though I suppnss it will be replaced by a better building. Still I could nevrt- have better times anywhere than I've had in th^ old place. However, I'll make this yenr the best and jolliest of all. I'll have a rollickingtime among the cameras ar.d photo novelties, tht- brushware i\:\d toilet goods. I sre that AVilton's are giving special discounts until rebuild:.:!.? time, so all th;!se high quality gr;ods will be cheaper than ever."
