Miss Goodykoontz's Advanced Pupils
Gave a Most Enjoyable Musi-
Gale Friday Night.

Oae VI tHe most en1OyeOle muelcAle6
of the season was that given by the
advanced pupils OF Miss Good dykoontz's
vocal class at the Congregational church
Friday evening. The people anticipa-
ted an enjoyable program and the large
audience in attendance was not ia the
least disappointed. While the pro-
gram was brief the auditors made every
effort to prolong it by encores but it
seems that none OF the singers had pre-
pared anything else and the people had
to forego the pleasure of q second num-
ber in several instances.
The program was opened by the la
dies chorus which sang the Bridal Cho-
rus from Lohengrju. The selection is
beautiful one and the young ladies
gave very creditable rendition of it.
Mr.. Fred Kratz was in good voice when
he sang the Armorer's Song from Rob
| in Hood. His tones were round and
full and he sang the selection in a very
capable manner. Mr.. Kratz is making
fine progress in his singing aud it is
always enjoyable Misses Gertrude
Becker and Emily Bras we're heard iu q
beautiful dnet from Le Nozzs di Figaro.
Their voices worked in fine harmony
and they received vigorous applause for
their effort. Mrs. Kathryn Burright
was unable to sing her solo on account
of cold. Miss Florence Gregory, who
has 80 often delighted Mitchell audi
ence iu song, was on the program for q
soprano solo and very daintily did che
sing Hebanera from Carmen. Miss
Gregory throws much spirit into her
singing, her voice is full of melody and
there is sweetness in her tones that
does not fail to charm her hearers. The
Spinning Wheel quartet from Martha
was given by Miss Becker, Mr.. Brown,
Mrs. Scallin and Mr.. Kratz and it was
SO admirably rendered that the audi
enos insisted on = recall but 1t was dis.
appointed. The four voices fitted in
well together and made splendid num-
ber. Mr.. h. P. Beckwith, of Elk
Point, out recently of Mitchell, sang
Dio Possente, from Faust, in . way that
was enjoyable to all. It ia always q
pleasure to hear Mr.. Bsokwiths voice
and on this occasion he seemed to sur
pass any OF his previous efforts. Miss
Emily Bras gave splendid rendition
of the Flower Song from Faust. The
selection was admirably suited to her
voice ana her singing was greatly ap-
preoiated. Miss Bras, Mr.. Brown,
Mrs. Burright and Mr.. Kratz were
heard in selection from Rigoletto aud
it was pleasing number. The four
voices showed fine susceptibility OF
the needs OF the cong and there was
nothing lacking to make the number one
of the best of the evening. Miss Ger
trude Becker was on the program for a
soprano solo for which she sang o Luce
di quest'anima, from Linda di Chamou
nix, which brought into requisition the
full power Of her voice and was fine
concerted number. The last numb Der of
the program was an inspiring one when
the chorus Of men sang the Soldiers
Chorus from Faust II has vigorous
style and the voices OF the singers were
heard to good advantage in the song.
1t WAS counted the best of the evening.
The accompaniment to the song was
played on the organ aud piano.
The sccompaniments of the evening
we're played by Mrs. II. G. Nichols and
Miss Goodykoontz, which contributed
much to the saccess of the numbers.
The class can feel that it made fine
SUCCESS of the entertainment and that it
brought great deal of pleasure to
those in attendance. Miss Goody-
koontz can feel that her work here ss q
teacher of vocal music is appreciated
by the public and che has done much to
foster the musical spirit in Michel.
