stage setting were all that could De

An audience which we'll filled Fes-
tival hall gathered last evening to
listen to the program offered by the
Brattleboro Choral union at its third
concert. The event proved one of ex-
treme pleasure to all VINO ATTENDED
and if the concert was as successful
financially as it was from a musical
point of view the organization should
feel well satisfied. The soloists were
Miss Margaret Roche of Boston. con-
tralto. Miss Sylvia Dunton of Rut-
land, soprano, and E. Fl. Miller OF
Dummerston, baritone. Miss Roche
strengthened the favorable impress
sion she made at her first appearance
in Brattleboro last spring. Perhaps
; her voice was displayed to the BEST
, advantage in the aria, The Fair Senza
, Euridice, although to many her last
two numbers, o, That We Two Were
Maying and Loves Mandate, were the
most pleasing Miss Dunton has q
, voice of much promise. Her one solo
, Wells Spring Song, was pleasingl1
rendered, while her work in the sole
, part of Gallia was surprisingly good
Mr.. Miller sang a group of love songs
in bis usual feeling manner. The
chorus was heard to particular advan'
: tage in Barnby's Sing to the Lord o.
r the Harvest. AS usual the work o
: Leitsinger's orchestra added greatly t.
1 the success of the concert.
