Pilot COSMOS QUINTETTE CLUB Rosemary To Get Brilliant Musical Attraction Wednesday Night Music lovers of this communi ty will unquestionably get a rare treat next Wednesday evening, when the Cosmos Quintette Club of Norfolk will give a musical concert, at the Rosemary Theatre Building. This concert is given under the auspices of the Rosemary Concert Band for the benefit of the Roanoke Rapids Hospital. Judging from the newspaper re views, the Cosmos QuintetteCluh are genuine artists. We quote the following from the Virginian-Pilot of May 20th, lull: "The audience that at tended the concert given last night at the Virginia Theatre by theCosmos Club showed their en jojment. of the music by sincere and enthusiastic applause." The fact is it was music of the high est order, rendered in perfect style; seldom has such music been heard in Suffolk. Every number from Offenbach's beau tiful Orpheus Overture to the sweets trains of Lucia di Lammer moor was exquisitely played. The masterly violin playing of Mr. Schwinck was a prominent feature of the concert, hut every member of the quartette is an artist." And from the Virginian-Pilot of April 30th. 1911: "One of the most enjoyable programs pre sented in this city was furnished lost night by the Cosmos Quin tette Club for the benefit of Paul's Church, Portsmouth. St. i Va. , Mr. Schwinck gave a beautiful presentation of Borrowsky's Ad oration and was greeted with hearty aplause for his artistic playing. He' has a tone of am-" pie proportion not over played hut most beautiful to hear. The ensemble was excellent on this occasion and the Cosmos Quin tette was heartily applauded for their work." In spite of the guarantees that had to be given the .Cosmos Quintette before they would agree to come, the admission is going to be low: 25'', 35'', and reserved seats 50''. You will not only hear the West musical concert even given in this community but by patroni zing this attraction you will help the Roanoke Rapids Hospital, certainly one of the most worthy causes in this entire community.
