THE CANTATA
LAST NIGHT

A large audience gathered at the
Congregational church last night to
hear the rendition of the cantata,
1.-THE Rose Maiden," given by the
University Choral Society, composed
of over 90 well known local people.
In many respects the production
was one of the best things in the mu-
steal line given here this season. The
audience was very appreciative of
both the solo and chorus work, and
the applause was most liberal.
To Miss Edith l.. Fenner, the di-
rector, is due great measure of
credit for the superb training shown
by the great company of singers.
Miss Fenner is certainly director
of the most successful class and a
natural musician, with her talent
splendidly cultivated. She won the
admiration of all by her excellent
handling of the great chorus. She
seemed to be able to get the best
service available out of all of the
voices.
Ranking next to Miss Fenner in
responsibility for the excellency of
the production comes Ernest Hedges.
a young man brilliantly talented in
the musical line. All through the
evening he presided at the great pipe
organ, and not once did he fail to
handle in an ideal manner every one
of the difficult selections.
Compared with the cantata.
Ruth" given some time ago by the
society The Sentinel does not believe
that 1.-The Rose Maiden" is as strong
nor was the rendition as smooth or
quite so enjoyable. The chorus. in
our opinion, did not reach the height
of excellence last night as was at
tanned in the Ruth" production.
Surely there was no chorus number
last night that equalled the beauty
of 1.-THE Revel of the Leaves" as
rendered by the society when 1t gave
Ruth The best offering of the
big chorus last night was 'Tis thy
Wedding Morning." However, the
chorus work was very satisfactory
and pleasing.
The soloists last night were Mrs.
Bross-Pinnell, contralto; Mrs. Myr-
tie Greer, soprano; Mr.. Sherman w.
Moody, tenor, and Mr.. Arthur Wake,
baritone. Each of these well known
local soloists delighted the big aud
ience and won enthusiastic plaudits
The number by the double quar-
tet was very pretty and was delight
fully given.
THE Rose Maiden" was. indeed,
a worthy production, a credit to To-
cal musical talent, and the Choral
Society should be most literally sup
ported in all its efforts.

ten department on through the high

an evenness in the work, showing
the faithfulness of the teachers in
carrying out the plans of the super

the teachers were strong and had
many excellent methods of their
