4 MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS The Rendition of Handel'S Ora toria Judas Maccabeaus." OSCAR J. EHRGOTT THE STAR The Other SoloiSts Shared His Honors-Excel- lent Work of the Chorus-Tempe
 Emanuel Was Crowded.

Temple Emanuel was crowded last night rendition of Handel's great oratoHo, "Ju- das Maccabeaus," under the direction of Prof. Benjamin Guckenberger.
 This great musical event had been anxi- ously awaited by the music-loving public of this city and the occasion will long be remembered as a memorable one in musical circles.
 The oratorio was rendered by our so- loists and a chorus of over one hundred voices, including children's chorus.
 MT. Oscar J. Ehrgott, Cincinnati's lead ing basso, who assumed the role of Simon brother to Judas Maccabeaus," was, of course, the star of the evening. MT. Ehr- gotts magnificent voice was heard to a better advantage than on his former visits to the city, which means that it was par excellence. His magnificent physique is also admirably adapted to the heroic and patriotic words that were put in his mouth by the great composer.
 Mrs. E. G. Chandler, soprano, and Mrs. Benjamin Guckenberger, alto, sang their parts admirably and shared with MT. Ehr- gott the honors of the evening.
 The tenor part which was assumed by MT. c. P. Orr as Judas Maccabeaus" was also well rendered.
 The choral work was perhaps the great est surprise of the evening, and the most excellent manner in which the choruses were rendered was high tribute to Prof Guckenburger's ability as director.
 The beautiful oratorio is perhaps more tangible than are many of the great ora
  Is historical Is easily followed.
 Miss Edna Gocke, the accompaniste, con- tributed small part to the success of the rendition by her excellent work.
