Factoryville Nov. 19-Today marks
the last day Cf the twelfth annual meet
ing of the I.ackawanna and Wyoming
Musical Alliance which has been in
session here since last Monday. This
mornings session was taken up with
voice culture. chorus work and espec-
tally in church music. Also special
time wss spent in registers of voices
with blackboard drawings. Afternoon
session was solely devoted to chorus
worl; and rehearsals. The concert this
evening brought out another crowded
house, at which standing room was at
a premium. 1t might be well to mem
lion here that at both Friday and
Thursday nights concerts was the
largest attendance that the Alliance
has ever had.
After the awarding of the prize on
Thursday evening to the Nicholson
choir, by request the three competing
ChOirs sang with much harmony and
emphasis, the second competitive four
part song, "A Spring Song" Pinsute,
IeG by Mr. l.. n. Shields, the successful
leader of the Nicholson choir, making a
grand combined chorus of seventy-two
voices.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
One of the special features of last
nights concert, and one worthy of
special mention, was the recitation of
Miss Stella Bailey, Of Waverly Pa,
entitled, "Rheuben's Bicycle" which
drew forth much applause. Mr.. Alfred
Wooler's sweet tenor voice was heard
for the first time in this place, and was
heartily appreciated by the audience.
Mr.. Wooler is the possessor of A. soft
end sweet tenor voice that is rarely
found i'm the vocal world, and of which
he is sole master. Mr.. Myers. the able
and accomplished director, has endear-
ed himself into the hearts of the mem
bers Of the Alliance, and by his thor
ough and competent teaching of vocal
music and voice culture. has left favor
able impression upon his pupils. that
will, no doubt, be of great benefit TO
them through life.
