Melody for Man on the Street Is Aim of Charlotte Orchestra The Charlotte Symphony orches tra, composed of 55 skilled musi cians, can probably play music in any key that can be written—but the keynote of this orchestra, says the premier violinist, Dr. C.

"The selection of the program has been made with this especially in mind.” Military Symphony The first number on the program, to be played here Thursday night in the high school building, under the auspices of the Junior Civic League, is known as the Symphony in G, by Haydn. That forbidding title should frighten no one, for the piece is more popularly known as "Military Symphony.” “Reverie,” by H. O. Thomas is a very melodious composition by a native Charlottean and student of violin, organ and composition. Re cent studies in composition have been under G. S. de Roxlo. The Romance in F is a violin solo with full orchestra accompaniment. The solo will be played by Dr. C. E. Kremer, a native of Philadelphia, Pa. and adopted son of North Car olina.
