st. Paul" the st. Paul Choral club
mas peen subjected to much adverse
criticism because some of the best
voices the choir previously boasted
were not heard in the production. The
Eerd1 requiem seemed to be the bait
That drew some of ST. PauFs best sing
ers into the chorus and these worked
as Val1antly as the lesser singers To
make that production a success. But
Tor some reason these singers were
not attracted by the oratorio, est.
Paul Therefore they attended only a
rev OF the rehearsals and the concert
thursday night saw most of them in
the audience instead of on the stage.

nclent reason, singer who begins the
year work with the Choral club

Heation which the club only cancel by
making Its series one of even merit

merltorlous production, but that was
not the fault of a score or more sing
ers who willfully absented themselves
MS winter the Choral club has had
inspiring audiences. 1t should show
It's appreciation by keeping it's choir
intact throughout the season. If this
is not done the club will find that.
toward the end of the season the audi5
ence will dwindle even more rapidIv
than the chorus.
