Chorus of Fifty Voices Applauded
for Numbers on the Pro-
gramine.

The Indianapolis Liederkranz celebrated
its thirty-third anniversary in an appro-
pirate manner at the Germana Hall last
night. n large audience was present, and
fully appreciated the music.
Perhaps the best number on the pro-
gramme was the song Friedrich Roth
BART sung by the large chorus of fifty
voices, accompanied by the full orchestra
This number received round after round
of applause. and the singers were obliged
to respond TO an encore. The chorus was
admirably directed by Prof. Carl Riegner.
At the beginning of the programme a
prologue. written by Alfred Raiser. was
delivered by Franz Schafer. Mr.. Raiser
congratulated the chorus on its success
during the past thirty-thrce years, and
hoped that ii would be as successful in the
coming years, and that all of the members
would live to the golden jubilee of the
organization. One of the numbers which
thoroughly delighted the audience was the
