MOZART CLUB
SINGS "CREATION"
MUSICAL EVENT OF THE
SEASON is PRESENTED AT
METHODIST CHURCH TO
LARGE AND APPRECI-
ATIVE AUDI
ENCE.

was presented on Wednesday evening
by the Mozart Club, at the Metho-
dist church. The choruses were as
sisted by six ladies and six gentle
men from the Winona Conservatory
of Music The choruses of this Ora
torio are quite difficult, but were CIV
en- under the direction of Prof. H. W.
Owens IN such perfect manner that
shows the progress made by the Mo-
zart Club in the years they have been
organized. Many people fail to fully
appreciate what it is to present ora
torios like "The Messiah" which was
given last year and THE Creation"
given this time. 1t demonstrates that
perseverance and industry will do
much to bring out the talent that
each possesses.
1t is not easy to specialize where
so many are really excellent, as was
seen in the rendition of the chorus
numbers of this concert, and the per-
fection obtained by the Club in this
work is indeed gratifying TO them
and their friends. Those who love
the highest class of music could not
fail to be delighted with the presenta-
ton of "The Creation"
Mr.. Marion Green of Chicago sang
the bass solos, Mr. Jas A. Grubb, of
Lima, Ohio, the tenor, and Miss Kate
Murray of Winona the soprano parts.
Not often can place the size of
Plymouth secure the services of such
an artist as Mr.. Green, and it was
only a most fortuf2te occurrence that
made it possible for linn TO be here
at this time He has rich, clear
voice, and his articulation is impress
sive beyond any one who ever ap-
peared before Plymouth audience
He gave every note of his parts in
perfect time, and not a note but what
was perfect and clear. Mr. Green
will not be forgotten by any one who
was So fortunate as to hear him.
Miss Murray rendered the soprano
solos of ''The Creation" in a manner
that shows the volume and power of
her voice, and while it requires a vast
range to reach these very difficult
parts, she brought them OFT in a way
peculiarly her own, and charmed all
vino heard her. She has many friends
in Plymouth that will wish her sue
cess and will always be glad to have
her return. Her pure tones and easy
grace make her favorite everywhere.
Mr.. Grubb possesses voice that
can best be described as pure tenor
rare to find He carried his parts
without apparent effort, and like Mr..
Green his enunciation is perfect He
will gain applause where ever people
have an ear to appreciate the ex-
cellent
Miss Hazel Neff and Mr.. Hadyn
Owens are both so well known to
Plymouth audiences that the mere
statement that they acquitted them
selves with their usual ability, will
assure all that the very difficult piano
parts were we'll done.
The Club is most fortunate in that
they have for director a man who
stands far in the lead in this class of
work He is not excelled as a director
of chorus in any one known Like
others of his class he has his cd
dities, but when it comes to direc-
ton he is simply accurate Only his
connection with the Mozart Club has
made it possible for them to present
the people of Plymouth with such
artists as were at this concert, and
the Club and all are to be congratu-
lated in having Prof. H. w. Owens
for it's director.
All in all this concert was the most
artistic one ever given in Plymouth,
and to all who have assisted the Club
IN any way they are 'nost. grateful,
and hope in the future to have some
thing else to present hat will be as
pleasing as this concert was.
