As the time draws near for the ap- e of the Philadelphia orches- tra the interest seems to be on the in- crease in local musical circles, and the people are gradually awakening to the magnitude of the attraction which will appear in Slater Memorial hall Friday evening. Owing to the size of the or- chestra—385 pieces—quite an addition had to be made to the stage so as to accommodate the players. While on concert tour the or%hestra travels in its own special car, and they have sent word that they will arrive in Nor- wich via the Boston and Albany and Central Vermont lines at 3.30 Friday afternoon. Truckman Arthur, D. ‘Lathrop has been engaged to transfer the baggage, which will require two large trucks. The piano which is to ‘be used for this occasion is the largest mize Steinway grand, and it has been forwarded from the Steinway ware- rooms in New York and is already placed in the haill Phe programme arranged for the Norwich - concert is a particularly strong ome, and will include the E flat major concerto for piano and orches- monu ln. tra by Lisat, in which Frank L. Farrell | ot this city will be the sololist. One £ the best known of the brass play- aru in the orchestra is Anton ¥orner, who plays on what is probably the mast mellow instrument in the orches- tra—the beautiful French horn. It is of the French horn that Mozart onoce wrote to his sister when he was busy working on a composition: “Please re- mind me later on to do something bandsome for the French horns—they have such a golden tome” And of all the golden tones that came from the French horns, nothing is more rich and luscious than. the tone produced by* Anton Horner. Mr, Horner is not the only member of the family in the orchestra, since his brother, Jo- seph Horner, another famcus horn player, is associated with i, while the other members of the horn group make a quariette which cannot be equalled anywhete for beauty of tone and expression. There is every indication that Slater | ball will be filled to capacity next Friday evening, as aside from the local interest in the event there will_be a number of concert parties from New London, Westerly, Willimantic, Jewett City and Plainfleld. Reserved seats for the goncert are now on sale at the store of Geo, A. Davis and as the seat- ing capacity of the hall is limited, it is advisable to secure seats without delay. COLONIAL THEATER. Motion Ficture Dn_:\:iug Lessons— Hesitation Waltz, Tango and Trot. An extraordinary bill of motion pic- tures {s billed for today at the Colon- fal, includ@ing the Dancing Iessons, which teach the tango, turkey and hesitation waltz, as taught by Mr. McCutcheon and Miss Sawyer to New York's exclusive four hundred. These teachers appear at the New York The- ater Roof Garden and receive $25 per private lesson. All this for a single admission at the Colonial today. The Sunken Treasure is the immense tweo reel Kleine feature also for today, showing remarkable views of the bot- ‘toma of “the ocean and thrilling epi- smodes. A Night on the Road. Essanay; A Friend in Need, Selig;- A Servant f -the Rich, Lubin, are also on the programme, so everyone is assured of seeing something to interest, instruct and entertain. The dancing lessons are the talk of all New York, and it was with much difficulty that Man- ager - McNully was able to secure them for his patrons at all. They re- main for today only, and a complete change of programme takes place agsin tomorrow. DAVIS THEATER. All New Photoplays Today. In the midweek change of pnoto- plays ai this theater today the head- | Hne feature is a two reel Domino dra- ma. called The Informer, a powerful story of old Erin and the Irish people | in the days gone by. The other pic- tures are the famous Mutual Weekly Ne.-56, with a lot of new events in- cluding motion pictures in Japan, showing picture theaters are now the | principal amusemeni in Another subject of this weekly Barnum & Bailey's circus in winter, showing how this great outfit look in its winter quarters right here in Con- mnegticut, where they make their win- ter home. This is only two of the many interesting subjects of this great Mutual Weekly. The other photoplay is a Keystone comedy called Won in a closet, and it is just as funny as the other Keystones that have caused s0 much langhter every week at this theater. In“the vaudeville Alf Holt & Nipponese. Co. still continue to make a big laugh- | ing hit, with Mr. ¥olt mimicking ev- erything ‘imaginable. Russell and O'Neil are ‘two clever singers and dancers who do a pleasing act. and Tyrol, the Buropean ventriloquist,with the assistance of his wooden friend makes it merry for the audience ev- ery performance with his yodeling and whistiing. Another first vandeville show is booked for Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday, the feature being Vaddar and Mirgon, who pre- sent a se dramatic sketch entitled A Cry af er are twe live wire comedians who have a great line of comedy talk, and Orphea will present her instrument- alogue, of artistic solos and difficult combinuionn on several instruments.

Little Wemen, the story of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, known to many thou- ia.n.dl of readers in the Unitéd States, and which has ®esn tramslated into German, French, Spanish and other foreign languages, has been dram- atized into a play of four acts and twe scenes, by Mariar de Forest, a Buffalo newspaper woman, and is being pro- duiced this season by Willlam A ady through an afrangement with Jessie Bonstelle, who secuyred the consent of the Louisa M.
