The deluge of comic opera which in
undated the local theaters last week afforded
plenty OF opportunities for the qualification
of musical tastes. The audiences being of
fair size showed that there are many people
in this city who like light opera and who
can afford to attend performances of it.
Where there Is the will to go there is gen
orally found the means, for what one really
wants, that he will have.
The young people of the Kountze Memorial
Lutheran church, assisted by some of the
best musical talent of the city, will render
the sacred cantata of "Joseph's Bondage
by Chadwick, the composer of the Worlds
Fair Ode,' which is said to be replete with
bright, ringing choruses, pathetic solos,
pleasing duos, trios and quartets. The can
tata will be given with full cast of char
acters Monday and Tuesday evenings next
for the benefit of the church, under the
supervision of Lee G. Kratz. The cast fol-

The cantata opens in the land of Canaan
where Jacob, the Patriarch, lives with his
twelve sons-Joseph, the youngest, dreamer
of wonderful things and Jacobs favorite son
is sold by his brethren into Egypt. Joseph
interprets the kings dreams and is made
ruler over Egypt. During a famine in
Canaan, Jacob sends his sons to Egypt to buy
corn when Joseph makes himself known unto
them. Jacob gathers his family together
and goes down to Egypt, where he is received
by Joseph and is presented to the king, who
alots to them the best or the land to live
in where they remain until the death of
Jacob.
