No finer evidence of the cs- p ' teem shown towards the Legion- t J aire* by the people of the commun- t> ity could l>e given. C This time however, the boys, are 5 I determined to eclipse all past cf- a forts and have set a goal before I them of 175 cakes. Quite a large ( ' number of these have already been n promised. C If there is any lady in the com- c 9 munity who feels disposed to help k the Post by donating a cake, a k 'mere hint to any member will be S j sufficient Ii 5 !

A timely and forcej ful message may be anticipateil. , During the Bible School session an unique and charming method t will be adopted to observe the day. As one of the most successful and , gifted of teachers, particularly of young girls, during the formative of life, Mrs. Clayton Haines ( will preside and conduct the . service. Mrs. A.

SWEET HOME NIGHT CELEBRATED FIRST METHODIST

V MOTHER'S DAY WILL BE FITTINGLY OBSERVED AT THE MORNING SERVICE / 4 Written l>y one exiled for many , t years from his home ami country,] a the song "Home Sweet Home" lie-!. 1 came known the wide world over, j Wherever the English language j - is spoken, the song is sung. Mad- i : ame Adelina Patti, the famous diva F "f a past generation had tlie pleasure of ringing the sweet haunting ( melody- of the song 011 four of the 1 five continents ami before twenty ' > crowned heads. j This yea; the world will celc-;, f brute the fiftieth year. of its pulrj; [ Dr. John Hundley has conceived ! the happy idea of associating j , "Home Sweet Home" night with I ( Mother's Day. , The chain of associations are in- j I timately close and strong. Mother j -i? the homc-buildcr; mother'is thejl home-keeper. When the mother [I I the home becomes shattered ; . and lost ; .Homes weet Home Night at the .

Large Audience Delighted { fa With First Pubhc Concert By The Orchestral Society : i DIRECTOR CHAS. W. ROBINSON HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED ON v ! THE PROGRAM RENDERED— SOCIETY MAKES ITS DEBUT * UNDER THE MOST FAVORABLE CIRCUMSTANCES !t

i Nothing hut Iiigh tributes of t praise urc to be heard upon every 1 j following the first public 1 concert, gix-cn by tlie Ocean City s Orchestral Society, nt the Music ' Pavilion on Friday evening. A large and appreciative audience attended, who rewarded the efforts cf the players with gener- ' rounds of applause. The new society promises to become one of ' most valuable assets to the ' of the community. The men 1 who comprise the society have or- 1 ganized themselves, for no mcr- 1 cenary purpose. While it is true 1 will need financial help occas- c ionally, to extern! their usefulness, have banded themselves to- < gcthcr primarily for thc purpose < of cultivating a love for the higher 1 of music, encouraging instru- I mcntalists, and to be of service ' tlie community. The officers of • the newly formed organization and ' members, desire it to be known I that the city may command their ' assistance at any function, of a < public or patriotic character. Infinite credit is due the conductor, Prof. Charles W. Robinson, ' the extraordinary stride for ' ward the society has made under I tuition. A graduate of one of 1 tlie oldest Colleges of Music in ' j Great Britain, a pupil of thc fa- ' imous Sir Charles Halle, Prof. Ro- I ! binson is an accomplished musi- ' tiun awl a man of wide ex peri- 1 jcnie as a conductor in three coun- 1 tries. I When it is borne in mind that a number of the instrumental- 1 ists have had no previous experi- ] cnce in ensemble work, the promade is remarkable. ^ The program indicates through- , out wise judgment in thc selection | of music. While not a single num- t approaches within a long dis-

tcrprctation. At the same time , u the selections without exception, ■ i demand considerable skill in in- ; c strumentation and involved careful < I training to have produced the per- 1 feet ensemble results given at the s Thc opening number was u 0 inarch entitled "Lights Out," by j 1 McCoy. Although of a popular : 1 rharacter, this selection demands ' careful instrumentation and strict : * tempo. The society gave a *p!cn- r did rendition, the intervention cor- ' ' net solo being pleasingly repro- 1 ° duccd, while the bell effects, were exceedingly well wrought. c "Morning Kisses," by George L. : l Cobb, written in value time, is u ' dreamful reverie, in which the vio- 1 carry the motif. The rendi- 1 tion given by thc orchestral was ( admirable. Not for a single cad- ' was the theme allowed to he ' lost in the orchestration and very 1 faithfully did the director adhere . thc phrasing, by this popular , composer. ( Tobia Acciani's Reverie, entitled 1 . "In a Rose Garden," belongs strict- ] , ly to the category of tone pictures, i - such as only the latin race can i • produce. There is a voluptuious- 1 r ness associated with the lento mo- , vements, typically Roman. Direc- 1 . Robinson and his cohorts, en- 1 . tered into the spirit of the theme < . with perfect ease and although by < . means the most difficult select- : . ion attempted, it was one of thc big successes. 1 i It was gratifying to observe how i easily thc audience fell into the 1 mood, of the quaint and capricious : "Polka Comique," by Julius Fucik. j j The Bassoon, played by Maurice ! DeWitt Hirst, impersonating thc , "Old Growling Bear" wa, a triu- ' mph of instrumentation. In fact, 1 did Mr. Hirst render this in- 1 (Continued on Page Eight) 1

'I One thing is certain, whatever ( * ; may lie enveloped in doubt, that I B ; Ocean City will in the near future 1 I have a first class brass or military 1 j haini. In point of fact Ocean City lluis within the last few months | -.made enormous progress musi- , . i cally. Last Friday the newly | • i formed Orchestral Society gave a ( rj splcmdn concert and now the mem- , , i hem of the Morgan-Rauck Post of 1 ! the American Legion, are ncaring , the completion of a scheme for tlie : of forming a brass band. t I Though the war is over, the !

'With their customary zeal c [ for thc home town, they have long 1 felt thc need of such an organiza- r No person can deny that the city I . has been sadly lacking in this xe- r spect. Although in Borne respects e one of the most advanced and pro- C gressive resorts along the coast, whenever the occasion arose, when / the services of a band were need- ( ed, we have been compelled to hire from another locality. We cannot | properly celebrate one of our national festival days. x With these facts in mind, the ^ Post organized umong its members a Legion Band 31 With Roger Williams as chairman, the success of the en- ■ tcrprise was assured.

Negotiations are also nearing completion for engaging the services of a first class leader and instructor. The organization of thc band been completed thus far with thc following members pledged: Cornet Section — Harold S. Paris, ; W.

Thus it will be seen that thirtyplayers have definitely enrolled. It is further said that a waiting list of enthused aspirants, fur exceeds tho number required to complete the band.
