WATERBURY PEOPLE
 BUYING TICKETS FOR.
 CONCERT HERE MAY P

The great Passion Play given every ten years at Oberammergau, Bavaria is great because it is given by the peo- pie of the little town who rehearse the piece many times during year. Tne Masonic choir of Waterbury. which comes to the Park theatre next We'd nesday night is a wonderful organiza- tion because it is composed Of the pest male voices who reside in the. great city of Waterbury. Chosen because or the rare quality of their voices they have rehearsed together for years, ana this constant rehearsing has meant perfection Music lovers who heard the great male chorus work are pre- sented in connection with the singing of Parsifal say that it was wonderful, but that it does not compare with the work of the Masonic choir. The Parsifal singers probably rehearsed for many months, but the Masonic singers of Waterbury, have been sing ing together for years, and each and everN man is thoroughly in love with his work. No greater attraction has ever come to the Bridgeport play houses of a musical character than this organization which was organized only 33 miles from here in this state. Isaac Beecher Clark, the director of the crganization,f has made the per lection of the choir his life work, and he has been pEmented by thouS- ands of (members of the Masonic fra ternity for his great achievement.
 Large cards announcing the com ing of the organization have been placed in the windows of many of the most prominent merchants who desire to aid in getting the people to attend the public concert which is one of the first given by the choir outside of the lodge rooms where it assists in the ritualistic work of the fraternity. The Masons of this city who heard the choir at the 15Oth anniversary of St. Johns lodge, F and A. M., cannot find words to appreciate the work of the choir. It is largely due to the stories of this organization told by Masons to their families that the sing CTS were induced to come here next Wednesday night, to give a public concert.
 Strong evidence that the choir stands high in the estimation of Wa terbury people is the fact that scores of people from that city are ordering tickets for the local concert by mail. Notwithstanding that the choir will sing in Waterbury later in the month the Waterbury people do not want tt. risk losing a. chance of hearing the choir because of the demand for tick cts in their own town. The sale of tickets in this city is large and a re- quest has been made that members of tho O. F.. $. who took out tickets will either turn in money or tickets next Monday night.
