pieces of the Northwestern Scandinavian
Singers association. was the attraction at
the Creighton theater last evening. 1t was

by Lindblad. The German Singing society,
conducted by Hans Albert. rendered THE
Sailors Dream" by Abt, and the Swedish
Singing society, also directed by Prof. Ed
gren, contributed a wedding march by Solder
man. The Swedish Ladies' chorus was heard
in a medley Of Swedish melodies and the
Scandinavian Glee club, under Mr.. L. Nor
din, also rendered a selection.
The only number that was contributed by
distinctively native talent was by the Schu-
bert Glee club. led by Mr.. Lee Kratswhich;
1t sang a double number, which was warmly
received. Miss Moeller sang a mixed num-
Der, consisting of Swedish and American
melodies, for which Prof. Edgren furnished
the harp accompaniment, and c. A. Jacob
sen sang the ARIA Infelice," from Ernani.
The instrumental features consisted Of Sc

Der by Hans Albert. Mr.. Albert played one
of Chopin's nocturnes and the "Ronde des
