THRD CONCERT WELL ATTENDED Frowning Clouds and De- scending Thermometer Do Not Deter Music Lovers LY SR LEARN WOLLE'S WAYS Men Display a Closer Ac- quaintance With His Methods Than Heretofore Another huge audience gathered at the Greek Theater yesterday afternoon for the third of the university symphony concerts in spite of frowning clouds and a thermometer that threatened more frozen music than the walls hold. The faithful few of us numbered about 3000, as against the 4500 of the last concert. Conditions considered, this attendance is even more remarkable than that of that second phenomenal concert and there was even more enthusiasm. If he is ever challenged as to the native love of music the Californian need only point to yes- terday’s concert. But the gods were again kind. They gave to the brave the fair day they had earned. The sun came out with Dr. Wolle and there was only cold enough to point one's devotion. It seemed to affect the players hardly at all. Possibly the en- thusiasm of their enrollment as university attaches had something to do with this. For yesterday, as the members of the orchestra filed out, it was noted that they all wore the university mortarboard. One felt grateful. Not all the heads are as handsomely covered as Dr. Wolle's and it was not warm. Apart from this it | adds considerably to the, picture and is | another very effective bit of symbolism— music adopted by the State and all that. | There were other changes yesterdayt Platforms have been devised to bring the players more in the line of sight with the conductor. The number of musicians has been brought up to seventy-one. Eight rehearsals had been given to the programme. And, importantly again in another direction, late-comers were not admitted to their seats during numbers. They succeeded admirably in rulning the effect of much of the Mozart symphony at the last concert, one ungratefully re- members. But they simply roped out the late folk vesterday at the university, and added yet another debt to the large one the public owes the authorities for its most courteous and capable management of the concerts. One wishes that one might chronicle vet another change, more important even than these. Dr. Wolle still conducts| without a baton. One cannot feel that| this is best. either for Dr. Wolle or his| men, and therefore for his musle. It is] true that Safonoff, the Russian conductor, uses no baton. It is true that the men| under Dr. Wolle's leadership showed yes-| terday a much closer acquaintance with his methods than ever before, But it is also quite evident that at times his beat cannot be seen by the players, from the actual physical fact that the arm. with- out the baton is not long enough. There is another difficulty. The hand is too flexible an instrument to cut out the rhythm with the exact stroke that Is most helpful to the player. For example. It was by sheer force of personal mag- netism, by the hypnotism of an intense musical desire, that Dr. Wolle got most of what he got out: of ghe- “Lohengrin” overture yesterday. The hand frequently failed to define the beginning of the meas- ure—the exact beginning, and in some In- stances the men were before him (right- ly) with the beat. They gave the con- ductor what he wanted, but what he had not intelligibly demanded. The overture, of course, with its long, slow beat, is an extreme instance, It was again as pic- turesquely conceived as Dr. Wolle had shown himself capable of conceiving art as widely different as that of Bach and ‘Wagner, and was full of noble poetry and romance. The symphony was the Schubert sym- phony in C, luxuriant, graceful, gay. The last movement was the best played, spir- ited and finely finished, the fiddles in par- ticular distingulshing themselves in the lovely filigree Schubert has given them. There was some extraordinay good work, too, done in the Scherzo with its naughty syncopation and here the wood wind—a | fine little choir—did nobly. The opening allegro rather told a tale of cold fingers with its uncertain intonationi and rather infirm tone, but with the andante, full of delicate dignity, the day's work really began. Most interesting was the conjunction of the ‘Lohengrin” overturs with that of “Der Freischutz” that followed. As Mr. Polacco used to say Weber “was the papa of Wagner,” and although the re- semblance here is not over-pointed it is occasionally most interestingly in evi- dence. Three numbers from “The Dam- nation of Faust” clofed the programme. Here Dr. Wolle got to his men the pre- cision of his own thought; the numbers being given with admirable clearness on the whole arid with all the delicate charm that is theirs. There is no doubt of the conductor’s musiclanship; of his tempera- ment, of his poetry, of his sincerity and absolute devotion to his art, but I think, humbly, that we should get the best of these through the tip of Dr. Wolle's baton. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. BIG THRONG ENJOYS THE CONCERT. BERKELEY, March I5.—Superstitious people at the university were inclined, after the symphony concert.in the Greek Theater today, to look with something like awe upon the little group of univer- sity men which directed the management of the concert series. If these men, say the awe-stricken folk, do not actually have a solemn compact with the powers that control the weather, by the terms of which the skies are kept clear on con- cert afternoons, then there is nothing in appearances by which one may be guided. - “‘Consider,” say these wondering, ad- miring folk, “that three times now the concerts have been given in the open air, In the Greek Theater, in the midst of 4 rainy season, and each time the clouds hung low over the theater almost up to within a few hours of the time for the concert, only to break at the psychologi- cal moment and permit of sunshine and balmy, correct temperature during the concert hours. If this be not magic, what is it to be called?” SKIES SMILE ON CONCERT. The immense throngs which the con- certs have attracted have been of such dimensions that to house them in Har- mon Gymnasium, the largest assembly room on the campus, would have been a difficult and almost impossible task. That is one reason why the prayers of the faithful have ascended before each con- cert in petitions for such weather as would permit the use of the Greek Thea- ter, where 5000 persons can be tucked away with never a bit of discomfort or crowding. And, as the record shows, each time these prayers appear to have met with favor, for the rain clouds have been blgwn away and the sun has warmed® things up, all in season for Wolle's men and the concert crowd to take their places in the Greek Theater and do justice in the open air to a feast of fat things, of ‘wlnc on the lees, well refined.” This morning, for example, even when things looked pretty blue and -the rain clouds might have been expected to spoil an open-air concert, when the paths up the mscent to the Greek Theater were An “assortment from } to 4% inches with all widths Pieces worth to 35c . . - Pieces worth at half price . . . . . . .. tached or detached. - The best and most be obtained for’ the price © - - a yard; for the Equalization Sale.

At 3 o'clock the walks were covered with fine gravel, making good footing, the theater was ready for a vast crowd and the concert programme was carried out in the Greek Theater, just as the authorities had planned. FORGOT ABOUT PNEUMONIA. No part of the throng in the theater, a throng only a bit fewer in numbers than at the great Mozart festival two weeks ago, appeared to think that pneumonia or colds or neuralgia or any such thing might be part of the cost price to be paid for the privilege of hearing Schubert played by the big symphony orchestra out of doors. The crowd wore heliday attire, Furs were in evidencg, certainly, and the men did not doff the hat, nor the overcoat, but stlll the impression was of a springtime audience, and the big shafts of yellow sunshine, striking the central portion of the amphitheater, completed the illusion. Some of the folk in this section, indeed, were obliged to construct amateur sunshades of paper, pinned to their hats, to save the eyes from the di- rect glare. “Marvelous,” sald the visiting pro- fesors, representatives of the American Association of Universities, who were the guests of the University of California at the concert, as they took in the spectacle. These wise men from the East, chap- ‘eroned by President Wheeler and his pri- vate secretary, heard two numbers of the concert before being obliged, by the call to official business, to retire. The musi- cal notables of San Francisco and the bay cities were in evidence. The university student body was there, more than a thousand strong. Fashionm was repre- sented, and culture could not be over- looked in the assemblage. Wolle was ad- mitted by all these composite elements of the audience to have scored once again, and one more bit of laurel was added to thew'uchhbdulmbrtho cw professor of music and his men. 'nn official figures, showing the exact attendance, will not be given out until tomorrow. It is estimated that l.hout 2500 persons were present Hold Many Missionary Meetings. There were special missionary meet- ings held last night at Hamilton, Fif- teenth-avenue, Epworth, Potrero, Trin- ity, South San Francisco and Filbert- street Methodist Episcopal churches, when some of the most prominent of the clergy of the city spoke on mission- ary labors in the Oriental flelds. To- night there is to be a big missionary rally at Central Methodist Episcopal Church, Mission - street, near Sixth, which will be addressed by Bishop Hamllton and the Rev. Mr. Wilson, a latcly returned missionary from China. Crude Fuel Positively Barbarous USE GAS for Cooking “At Your Service” ‘THE GAS COMPANY 415 POST STREET Pockets Picked While He Sleeps.. 8.
