AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS.
The Choral Concert a Thing of tht
Past.


A large and appreciative audience
assembled in the opera house Tuesday
evening to listen to the Choral Concert
given under the direction Of Prof T
Bath Glasson.
The program was opened by selec
ton, "The Bohemian Girl" from the
Orchestra, which is an organization OF
which any large city might be proud
and which played with its usual excel
lence.
The Peasants Wedding March" by
the Choral Society was highly pleasing
They showed careful training and their
phrasing was excellent. This chorus of
sixty voices is something of which Alma
has never been able to boast before.
The next was piano solo, Overture
to William Tell" by Miss Velma Sharp,
which was exceedingly well rendered and
greatly appreciated
Miss Frances Torrance appeared in O
vocal solo, cave Maria" She has a
powerful and flexible voice and shows
careful training
Miss Sadie Messenger followed with a
piano solo, "Andanti Favori," by
Beethoven. Her free and natural rem
dering of that composition was worthy
of an artist and won a hearty encore
from the audience.
Tho navt IN, tha ,,roora,,, xuac a uio1ip
solo, "Fantasie" by Prof G. E. Horst.
This is not the first time that this gentle
man has come before an Alma audience,
so that whenever he does appear, people
expect something unusually fine. They
were not disappointed. He was heartily
encored and responded.
The last number on this part of the
program was Il new march, "Alma
College Boys" by the Orchestra. This
is one of Prof. Glasson's own composition
and is of such real merit that when
published it will bring Alma and Alma
College very favorably before the public.
The second part of the program opened
with an overture, "Poet and Peasant"
by Misses Voorhees, and Franklin, fol-
lowed by number from the Choral
Society and ballade in A. Flat by Miss
Caldwell, all of which were well rem
dered and envoked hearty applause.
At this point Miss Frances Getty gave
reading, Toms Little Star" which
was one of the best numbers on the
program. She interpreted the would
be amateur actress and her lover to per.
fection, especially when the former
came back to him a disappointed and
heart-sore girl.
Miss Amaret Franklin followed with
piano solo, "Rigolletto. Her tech.
nique was excellent and she proved her.
self a thorough master of her instrument.
The next OH the program was selec-
ton by the Chorus with Orchestral
accompaniment, follow ed by an operate
selection from the Orchestra. Both
numbers are worthy of much praise.
This concluded the program and the
Choral Concert had passed into history
leaving behind the memory of a pleasant
event and high regard for the director
of the concert, Prof. T. Bath Glasson,
who has been so successful in his musical
career here, as well as in other places
and has aroused such a general interest
in music in our village.
