Wullner has been called a dramatizer
of song. He is said TO be a poet whose
medium Of expression is no less the
music than the words. He presents his
numbers in their entirety, the poem
being read as well as sung, thus get
ting the advantage of the double inter-
probation Of words and music. He has
no equal. it is claimed, in the field that
he has made his own.

accompanies and fellow artist is Con-
raad Y. Bos, whose Interpretation of
the instrumental portion of the COM

They viii be held at St PauFs Epis-
copal church. in California street near
Fillmore. The Berkeley section is in
need Of a few more bass and tenor
voices to make g proper balance in
the choral tone, but the rehearsals of
the wonderful St. Matthew passion
music. by John Sebastian Bach, indi-
cate a splendid success of the second
Bach festival. which viii be held next
summer at the Greek theater in Ber-
kelley.
In Oakland the section is smaller,
numerically, than in Berkeley, but the
quality Of tone is splendid.
Father Huesges. who trained the
choir which was heard at the Coliseum
in the passion play. has turned his
choral forces over sto the good work
of disseminating the glories of Bach.
and this fact insures big and artis-
tically fine San Francisco section.

music lovers of this community, who
