THE WOMEN’S SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF PHILADELPHIA.
This fine body of musicians, under the efficient direction of J. W. F. Leman, has been growing rapidly in popularity in Philadelphia and its environs, having appeared successfully in concert, at clubs, etc. Recently there was a week’s engagement at B. F. Keith’s Theater in Philadelphia and the orchestra scored such a success that it resulted in an engagement for another week. According to the Philadelphia Record, “More than fifty players were heard under the direction of J. W. F. Leman, and they played with such skill and with such charm that every auditor was delighted. The exquisite violin solo by the concert mistress, Florence Haenle, in one of the offerings, was a feature. There was no question of the success attained.” (Photo by J. E. Green.)
