SCHILDKRET’S HUNGARIAN ORCHESTRA.

For ten years the Schildkret Hungarian Orchestra has appeared on Ly ceum courses and Chautauqua circuits, and it has been stated repeatedly that Samuel Sbhildkret, the leader, can get as much music out of his six men as many directors can draw from an or chestra of ten or twelve. He is proud of the fact that he gives an audience about five times its money’s worth. Ordinarily the leader of a band or or chestra has a notion that it is best to take things calmly, with plenty of time

for Intermissions. Not so with Schild kret. There are no so called “breathing spells” when Sclxlldkret leads the band. He and his men are busy every minute. < lt ~iß a fact ~that the Schiidkret OrT chestra has on frequent occasions while playing a selection on the regu las" program caused such enthusiasm that eight or ten encores have been demanded and given. It is stated on good authority that the Schildkret Orchestra has In its repertoire enotfgh selections to last from the first curtain tn the evening until breakfast the next morning. It Is not unusual for this or ganization to play forty selectious.dur ing an evening’s entertainment. The prqgrdm used by the S hi Id kret Orchestra is made up of both classical and popular pieces. Regardless of whether an audience is distinctly musical Sehildkret is sure to please Naturally Director Schiklkret’s playing of tbe piccolo arid flute Is a big drawing card. Also fife greatly interests his audience in his unique an nouncements and comments. The zymbaline. the 'national- Instrument of Hungary, is- introduced by tbe fichildkret Orchestra.
