VERY GREATLL
APPRECIATED
Bv An Audience Composed Of Low
ers of the Beautiful in
Music and Art. Il

First NJ. E. church was the scene
last evening of brilliant gathering
of society people, the. majority Oh
whom were lovers of the cart de-
yine.' to be entertained by the Ora
torio society of Earlham college IN
the Haydn-Lehmann concert.
1t was S:15 before the soloists and
chorus took positions before the great
organ, the chorus presenting a clas-
sic appearance. being attired IN caps
and gowns. Prof c. X. Chase, OF
Earlham. directed the chorus, and
Mrs. Clayton B. Hunt presided at the
organ.
Prof. Chase's direction was fault
less, having the chorus under com
plete control Of his baton, which kept
time with precision that would have
done credit to one of the masters.
Mrs. Hunt needs no praise here, for
her ability as an organist is so well
known that words are inadequate to
add anything to her already we'll
earned fame.
The program was in two parts, the
first being Haydn s Third Mass (The
Imperial). When the opening note
of this master piece of music was
intoned there was breathless silence.
The voices in the chorus were so well
trained that it sounded as if one great
voice was singing the sacred melody,
the harmony being almost perfect.
The following parts of the mass were
rendered by soloists and chorus
"Kyrie,'' Gloria" "Qui Tolls" F"
Credo,'' 'Et Incarnatus," Get Res
urexit,'' "Sanctus,' "Benedictus, "
"Agnus Del" and "Dona," the first
part of the program ending with Hal
lelujah Amen.
The audience showed its apprecia-
ton of the rendition of the various
parts by frequent outbursts of ap-
plause.
The soloists were not given as good
an opportunity to show their we'll
trained voices in the first part of the
part, in the rendition of Gin a Per-
sian Garden a song cycle for four
solo voices The words were selected
from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
and the music by Liza Lehman.
Miss Elizabeth Blamere rendered
the soprano parts In charming style
She has a splendid voice, clear and
sweet.
Miss Charlotte Callahan, as contral-
to, has sweet voice of great volume.
She is a splendid singer.
The tenor parts were taken by John
Miller. His voice is clear and strong
and sweet, and his presence command
ing.
Mr. Edmund jain, the bass soloist,
is one of the best ever heard in this
city. His powerful, yet sweet, soft
voice, filed the vast auditorium. All
were delighted and expressed their
pleasure with long and loud applause
Mr.. Clarence Adler was the piano
accompanist in the rendition of the
Persian Garden.
Prof. Chase is certainly to be com
mended for the great musical treat
he gave to the people last night
