last night at the Park church to the
great pleasure Of an unusually discrim-
mating audience which comfortably
filed the pretty church edifice. There
were eight numbers, all Of them well
given and thoroughly enjoyed, and 1t
is a fact that from strictly musical
standpoint few better programmes
have been given here this winter. The
Schubert chorus Of perhaps thirty
voices, under the direction Of Miss Elsie
Shave opened and closed the pro-
gramme with Podbertsky's Spring on
| the Mountains" and Zoellner's lode to
Music" The solo parts were taken by
| Mesdames c. B. Yale, contralto and
Paul Zumbach, soprano and the whole
was accompanied by string orchestra.
| The chorus showed excellent handling
and sang evenly and with much effect
under Miss Shawe's baton. Possibly Of
| the soloists Miss May Strong carried
off the honors by her musicianly play
ing Of LISTS "Tarantele'' with its
numberless possibilities and erratic
! tempos Miss Strong plays with ad-
mirable expression which causes the
nearer to lose sight of any attempt
at technique. MsssfAlberta, who might
almost be called a lyric soprano, sang
an expressive Italian number by Schira
and followed it with a dainty balled by
Smith, MY Bonnie Bessie Though
| possibly wanting in the softer shades
Of expression, Miss Fisher has good
method and uses her voice, which be-
| trays considerable culture, to advant-
age, especially in the upper register.
Messrs Shryock, HPompe, Daniel and
Stevens. of Minneapolis. composing a
string quartette9 added not a little to
the pleasure of the evening by giving
Schubert's quatourj Opus 125 with COM
| mendable regard for the artistic nice
ties. Later they played Beethoven's
Andante con VaTiaztone. Mr.. Shryock,
the first violin, gave Vieuxtemps Fan
| TASTE Caprice" and was enthusiastic
cally encored.
Mrs H. H. Horn during the progress
Of the concert, rose in her seat, and
made little speech to the audience, in
which she spoke of the tireless energy
with which Mrs. Dorr, president of the
Schubert club, administered the clubs
affairs, and announced that the mem
bers had decided to show little Of
I their appreciation of the good work she
had done for musical folk, and the able
manner IN which she had presided over
the body, by rendering her a testimoni-
al concert In the Park church next
! Friday evening. Mrs. Horn referred to
the. executive ability shown eby- Mrs
Dorr in enabling the Schubert members
| to avail themselves Of the pleasure OF
attending the big events which have
come here, and spoke of the loan fund
which through her efforts was safely
invested and drawing interest, and
part Of which had been used to aid sew
eral young women to add to their must
cal education. Mrs. Horn urged every
member to give the affair much publici-
ty, and to come on that evening, ad-
ding quietly, Il think the church will
! look all the prettier if the ladies come
minus their hats and bonnets"
