Russian Symphony Orchestra
McCook and Southwestern Nebras
ka enjoyed greatest musical oppor
tunity in our history last night in
the temple theatre when famous
Russian Symphony Orchestra gave its
superb classical program This or
chestra numbers over fifty members
and has been organized for about
ten years to give emphasis to the
compositions of that great Russian
Tschaikowsky whom they feature
Under direction of Modest Altschuler
they have reached a high position
among the orchestras of New York
city
Mile Lopoukowas dancing was
quite charming Madamoiselle is as
dainty as a butterfly and as graceful
as a fairy Her dancing was poetry
in motion and captivated without the
suggestion of offense She was on
program for three brief appearances
and no enthusiasm of encore could
secure a return
Miss Vera Curtis sang an aria
from Verdis Aida to orchestral
accompaniment to the delight of the
audience
Her honors were quite equally
scared with Miss Eva Myiott eontral
tq in Saint Saens Samson and De
lilah
While Henri La Bonte tenor in
Puccinis Girl from the Golden West
was warmly applauded
The only other solo number of the
program was Gregor Skolniks violin
offering the meditation fromTnais
by Massenet A delightful solo
Such delicate and effective shad
ings from the heaviest fortissimo to
the filmiest musical tracery were
the marvel and enrapturing of the
audience while the barbaric splen
dor of the Russian was resplendent
in- other more national movements
The program concluded with a med
ley of our national hymns and airs
which brought the large audience
to feet

Sunday evening delivered in the
Methodist church before an overflow
ing audience Rev McBride chose

Psalm So teach us to number our
days that we may apply cur hearts
unto wisdom In practical thought
ful ways he urged upon the members

the highest thought that no prudent
