BOYS CLUB MINSTREL SHOW
1t VIII BE Given at the PrOpylaeum
Wednesday Night.

A minstrel performance will be given at
the Propylaeum Friday evening under the
auspices and for the benefit of the Boys
Club. A performance was given at the
clubrooms a week ago, which was so en-
tertaining that Mrs. John c. Dean and Mr.
Charles Dean, who had it in charge, deemed
it advisable to give a public presentation.
The show will include the usual first
part with songs and other music, and there
will be numerous jokes and specialties. The
boys Of the club will furnish the enter
tainment. Thet work of the club has pro-
gressed until now 235 boys are enrolled in
the membership and there is an average of
eighty-five boys. The clubhouse is made so
attractive that boys prefer it to the sa-
looms, low theaterS and other places and it
is the desire to keep them out of the way
of temptation as much as possible. En-
tertainmentS are given monthly, and the
minstrel performance will introduce what
the boys have at the club for their own
amusement to their friends. After the
show there will be q dance. 1t was re-
Gently decided, in the management of the
Boys Club, to establish a permanent fund
in addition to the current-eXpense fund, and

be responsible for certain amount The
minstrels promise to be the entertainment
and social feature Of the week.

It's the old-fashioned, slower-growing kind

OF her manufactures growing up with her.

Yet most people can have very little idea of

THE CANTATA BY GRIEG
"OLAF TRYGvAssEN" WILL BE ONE
OF THE MAY FESTIVAL FEATURES.
story of the, WorIS-The Dashing seThe
Ride of the Cid"-LocaI Mu-
steal Affairs.

The chorus of the May Music Festival is
enthusiastic over the music selected for the
concerts this season. Last year the mem
Ders were as enthusiastic over THE Swan
and the Skylark," which proved the most
beautiful number of the entire festival.
The work this year. which will be rival
of that, is the Grieg cantata, "Olaf Tryg-
Vassen,' which is essentially Grieg from
beginning to end. To know Grieg is to
know a composer who IS strongly individ-
ual and who resembles no one at least in
MS style of composition. This cantata
deals with the far north at time when
men worshiped gods. One of the first parts
Is an incarnation to the heather gods which
Is glorious I'm its dignity and simplicity.
The chorus is interrupted by the priest
and, later by the priestess, the parts to be
sung by the stars of the festival, and the
music is beautiful. Olaf, who is a Chris
tian, makes the people become dissatisfied
with their King. There is a revolt of the
people, and the priestess tells them that is
not enough. The story of religious rites is
told, and the people mock the Christian
God, and call for a contest between God
and the gods. Nothing happens after this
frenzy, and the people then sing thanks
giving. This is a majestic piece of COM
position, and the prayer of the high priest
is wonderfully impressive The heather
rites are resumed and a religious dance is
given. popularity of the dance is that
1t preserves the dance rhythm and is still
IN the minor. A charming intermezzo is
sung by the ladies' chorus, and it is fol-
lowed by a return chorus which shows that
the people have not lost faith in our
fatherland.''
The ending to the composition is in rapid
tempo and the chorus sustains the melody
ana interviewer ingeniouSly with it are rem
lnlscences of the dance. The variety and
beauty of the harmonies make the COM
nincent piece of singing to show the capa-
bility of the chorus.
The hymn "Omnipotence by Schubert
arranged by List, is broad and massive
One OF the fine parts is the tenor solo, ten
der and beautiful. Mr.. Ernestinoff says
that THE Ride of the Cid'' is enough ito
lift one off his chair" The men start to
conquer the Spaniards, and the women urge
the men to acts of bravery and deeds of
valor The work is written in three-eight
time, SO that the accents follow each other
In rapid succession. like the marching of
men. This marching is heard through the
entire work, and is most effective. There
Is solo for a high tenor in this compost
ton. The warlike character of the music
is thrilling, and the chorus has caught the
spirit of the theme, and the recurring ac-
cents are beginning to sing themselves.
one OF the unique parts of the number is
the Moorish chorus. On the Wagner even
ing there will be two choruses from Tam
hauser"-the Pilgrims Chorus" for the
men, and the chorus of young pilgrims. to
be sung by the ladies.
