The formal inauguration of
the Wurlitzer Hope-Jones Or
chestral Unit was held at the
Capitol -Theatre last Sunday aft
ernoon. A Very large audience
filled the vast playhouse to its
utmost capacity. It was a notable
and important event. Karl Bon
awitz, organist from Philadel
phia, appearing for the first time
in this city, was the soloist. He
opened his recital with the Pil
grim Chorus from Wagner’s
“Tannhauser,” and from the first
bars of the solemn introduction
to the brilliant finale showed his
mastery of the huge instrument.
A selection which proved very in
teresting and effective was the
evolution of “Old Black Joe,”
first, as played by the old South
ern darky, second, as sung by the
male quartet, third, as played by
the “Feet Alone,” and finally as
played in 1923. The imitation
. given by Mr. Bonawitz was in
tensely forceful and perfect in
every detail. The effect obtained
in the imitation of the male quar
tet especially, was simply charm
ing. It gave one the impression
of a beautifully blended ensemble
of heavenly voices heard as from
The 1923 way of interpreting
the old ditty, in tilting “jazz”
style, caused an uproar of laugh
ter among the - audience. Mr.
Bonawitz is a master of effects.
The moods of various types of
music find in him an adept por
trayer and the different voices
of . the orchestral instruments,
which the organ reproduces most
faithfully and with marvelous
perfection, were brought out
distinctly and effectively. In
the “tutti,” the powerful tone of
the huge instrument sounded
like that of a full orchestra in
- all its splendor, majesty and'tm
pressiveness. Several encores
were given by Mr. Bonawitz,
among which, Kreisler’s “Caprice
Viennois,” the “Parade of the
Wooden Soldier,” and ‘‘Take Me
Back to Old Virginny,” all evok
ing great enthusiasm.
The new organ, which is the
largest of its kind along the New
\ Jersey coast, was thus auspicious
ly dedicated and it will no doubt
give immeasurable pleasure to
the many Covers who shall make
the Capitol their habitual, “ren
dezvous.”

Weekly Review ~
of Atlantic High
More Holiday* on Program In
Few Weeks — Here
and There
By Anard W. L ITT man
Holidays and then some more.
Mention holidays to any At
lantic City High student and im
mediately you have aninterested
listener. The longest holidays of
the year come within a few weeks
when good ol’ Santie Claus
brings along his bag full of toys
—not for A. C. H. S., of course,
although there are several
Freshies who still believe in the
presence of the kindly gentle
man, but younger pupils. He
brings a sweet vacation for the
student body, which is sufficient.
Along about this time, girls
come to school wearing that fa
miliar puzzled expression, which
translated means: ' “What on
earth can I get for him that is
suitable?” Of course, the males
worry little on just what to buy,
they worry over what's coming
their way.
At any rate, it is a joyous
Yuletide in store and Atlantic
High eagerly awaits the coming of
Christmas and the New Year.
