Glee Tub for this season will be given
at the Tabernacle next Tuesday even
ing. The members of the Executive Com
mittee have felt that there will be a
much better concert this year than the
usual second concert of the season. This
is owing to the tremendous success, of
the first concert this season; and very
thing of a high order again. Immediate
ly after the first concert the club COM
menced rehearsing music which had been
previously selected and several weeks OF
hard work had passed when the commit
tee decided that the music would not be
up to the standard. A change was de-
had a great deal of extra work in or
der to make up for lost time on the new
pieces. 1t is expected that a novel num-
Der will appear on the programme-novel
only in its method of presentation by the
club. 1t is the Miserere scene from l
Trovatore.'' Miss Charlotte Maconda will
be the soprano and Mr.. Hobart Smock
the tenor. The club, representing the
monks chorus, will sing in the ante
room. This is very largely an expert
ment by the club. Miss Maconda sang
here two years ago and was received bet
ter than any soprano the Schubert Club
has ever engaged. Miss Viola Meade, the.
violinist, has also been engaged. Miss
Meade played for the club two years ago,
Immediately after her return from vi
emma. Since then She has been playing
with Seidl in the Boston Symphony and
has achieved a marked success. Several
of the numbers sung by the club will
be accompanied by the piano and organ.
