when Mrs. wallace ~ Robinson
few months ago organized the Hyech-
ka Choral Society, the members did
not think that theirs would be the
opportunity 80 soon to sing to the ac-
compartment of one OF the worlds
greatest Orchestras,
The Choral Society sang as 1t never
thought It could sing when Walter
Damrosch stepped TO the front, waved
his baton and the great orchestra
struck the accompaniment OF Hall
Bright Abode" from Tannhauser.
Every motion Of the baton and tho
great conductors body showed his eX
tremc pleasure I'm finding such great
volume Of melodious song but the
audience could not wait until the num-
ber was finished but drowned the last
| notes with applause. Mr. Damrosch

Y hts hand Indicated that all honor was
/. due the Choral Society They also
