A TRIUMPH
FOR SOCIETY
Sincere and Abundant Praise
for Choral Members and
Talented Director.
CHORUS WORK AND
SOLOISTS PRAISED
Majestic Theatre Scene Of
Final Affair." The Rose
Maiden" Is Given.

With large and fashionable audi
ence the second and final concert OF
the Perth Amboy Choral Society's
season was given in the Majestic
theatre last night. More perfect
chorus work, as to volume and har-
mony could hardly be imagined
than that shown in the rendition OF
The Rose Maiden" by the Choral
Society. 1t is seldom that such
superb blending of voices is heard
in a large gathering of this kind
and the results attained could be
achieved only by painstaking and
persistent rehearsing and instruc-
ton.
During the entire program. lasting
about two hours, not one false note
was heard and there was ideal
smoothness in the conjunetive work
of the soloists and chorus, eliminate
| ing the wearisome waits that not in
frequently occur in such produce
tions. 1t would not be fair to apply
amateurism in connection with the
performance, as the work through-
out surpassed in many ways that of
professional singers.
Perhaps the greatest credit Is due
to Miss Augusta M. harrington, un-
der whose direction the cantata was
given. It was due entirely to her brill
liant leadership and careful training
that the magnificent result was ac-
complished. There was not an idle
moment for her from the striking Of
the first note. From the beginning
1t was obvious that the chorus was
in entire sympathy with her efforts,
and their response was wholly ap-
preciative, responding like highly
tuned clockwork to the graceful
gyrations of her baton. The excel
lent work of the chorus was REIN
forced by such well-known soloists
as Miss Jennie Rae Moore, soprano;
Miss Mildred Potter, contralto;
Derrick Won Norden. tenor; and
George Downing, baritone. Mrs.
Samuel j. Mason and CASTOR Dethier
were at the pianos.
The beautiful- and impressive
music Of Frederick HI. Cowen gaTaA
the soloists a splendid opportunity
to display their voices In the differ
ent registers and afforded rare
chance in harmonious choral waves.
