59 MUSICAL COURIER February 8,1923 MUSIC ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE mendous success. The theater was thronged with youngsters, who listened intently and applauded vociferously. Every seat was sold long before the date of the concert and the pity is that the auditorium is not larger. Mr. Roth-well arranged a program of great variety and charm. Excellent Series Concert. Mendelssohn’s Scotch symphony is all too seldom heard, judging from the pleasure it gave the audience at the regular evening concert. It was given a finished performance by Conductor Rothwell and his men. The scherzo was played with real virtuosity and elicited a storm of applause. The sweeping phrases of Smetana’s colorful vltava (from the symphonic poem, My Fatherland) ¡also gave pleasure. Sylvain Noack, concertmaster of the orchestra, won new laurels for himself in Saint-Saëns׳ Prelude to Le Deluge; enthusiasm was so insistent that the number had to be repeated. The program closed with Wagner’s Prelude and Love-Death from Tristan ¡and Isolde. Appreciation of the music offered in these concerts is rapidly growing, a Change is quite perceptible in the attitude of the audiences, for there is more real response. . More Music for Children. An interesting program, Music for Young and Grown-up Children, was presented by local musicians for the Am-phion Club. Dolce Grossmayer was directly responsible for the arrangement of the recital and ¡appeared ¡in the triple role of pianist, accompanist and composer. Assisting her were Anne Bunting, soprano, and Ritza Freeman Reardon, story-teller. A group of Miss Grossmayer’s songs proved to. be charming and full of humor. Mrs. Reardon, in her picturesque Russian costume, was a joy to behold. The large audience had a very good time. E. B. B.
