PAUL HENNEBERQ.
The Apollo Club and Conservatory of Music, of
Winnipeg, Canada, finally induced Mr. Henne-
berg to accept the post of conductor,
which position he occupied until at the request
of Walter Damrosch he left for New York to
join as solo flutist the New York Symphony Or-
chestra. The following year he joined Victor
Herbert and his Twenty-second Regiment Band,
and was at once selected as assistant conductor
to Mr. Herbert.
Under his most able conductorship the Twenty-
recond Regiment Band has to its credit many ap-
pearances which have called forth the highest
commendation, Mr. Henneberg having proved
himself a most worthy successor to the great
leaders who have preceded him.
As a composer, Mr. Henneberg is rapidly taking
his place in the first grade. His new concert
waltz, "Alice," sung by Signorina Zeppilli, and
published by Theodore Bendix is a musical gem
and is fast attaining the popularity among high-
class singers which it so richly deserves.
