Of1ecrS OF the Cnerry CITY I'M
proyement League, an auxiliary of
Salem Board of Trade, have complet-
ed arrangements with the manage
ment of Hotel Marion for a Rose
Tea" to be given in that hostelry on
the afternoon of Wednesday, June the
fourteenth, benefting the league.
This affair should bring out a host of
Salem men and women for to all a
most cordial invitation is extended.
Those who have not inspected the
beautiful hotel will have an oppor-
tunity at this affair. No efforts will
be spared to make this tea one of
perfection and quite as complete as
any private party. Names of the pa
tronesses will be given later.
Notwithstanding disagreeable wea-
ther, last Wednesday evening at the
First Methodist church, very large
audience greeted the singers of the
choir and choral concert and the
chorus Of seventy voices.
The choral society opened the we'll
arranged program with Greetings to
Spring" given in fine manner. In the
Glee clubs two selections which
called for encore, "Estudiantlna" was
particularly we'll received, being a
sparkling Spanish work carried out
in splendid style. The choir in AVE
Maria" with Mrs. Mendenhall as SOLO
ist and Mr.. Roberts at pipe organ,
gave beautifully executed rendi-
tion. Charmingly sung was Birth of
the Opal" by the Ladies' club with Mr..
Mendenhall at the piano.
A gem of the evening was "Tell Her
| Love Her So" given in faultless
manner, showing artistic handling.
1t is difficult to state which of the
numbers on the program was the
most enthusiastically received; with
out doubt the Glee clubs rendition Of
the 'Miserere Scene" from al Trova-
tore" was favorite. Mrs. Mendenhall
hall possesses voice of beautiful
quality with which she sings her way
straight to the hearts of her hearers.
Mr.. Schramms tenor is of vibrant
quality and was used with splendid
effect in this number. In perfect har-
mony group of mountain songs was
beautifully given by the Choral socie-
ty Miss Turner assisting with piano
"The Gipsies" demanded an encore
and the Ladies' club responded with
"Sleep Little Baby of Mine" in beau
tiful arrangement with alto carrying
the air and the other voices swinging
in accompaniment, with Mr.. Menden-
hall at the piano. One of the very
finest selections was Hymn to Mu-
sic" by the splendidly trained choir
Mr.. Roberts accompanying with pipe
organ was particularly beautiful.
Donizellis ever popular "Sextet,"
from Lucia de Lammermoore' given
by Mrs Mendenhall, Miss Edgington
and the Glee club quartet, composed
of Mr., Mcintyre Mrs Anderson, Mr.
Oakes and Mr.. Booth received most
enthusiastic applause and demanded
encore. The very familiar "Hail
Bright Abode" from "Tannhauser"
was splendid closing of the pro-
gram.
That Dean Mendenhall has been a
most eXacting director is shown in
the work of the several musical So
cieties and the unusually large chorus
who presented this program of merit.
Chorus of seventy voices composed
of the First M. E. church choir, the
w. U. Ladies' club and the w. U.
Glee club Miss Joy Turner, pianist;
Mr. T. S. Roberts, organist; Mr.. F. s..
Mendenhall, director.
