MALE CHOIR IS BIG SURPRISE

The concert at the Congregation
al church Friday evening was at
tended by a good sized audience and
everybody present was delighted
with the splendid program. Every
number was encored and each was
graciously responded to. The APP
plause was hearty, spontaneous and
well merited.
Miss Rosalind Cook opened the
concert with well rendered piano
solo, not only well executed but
intelligently Interpreted. The per-
Torrance showed clearly that Miss
Cook is progressing very satisfact-
orily in her study of the piano. She
also acted as accompanist to the vo-
cal solos.
Mr.. R. j. Mullins followed with
two fine songs. He is one of Web
ster City's favorite vocalists and his
appearance in this intsance added to
his we'll known reputation as an
able singer.
Mrs. Earl e. Mason in her violin
solos, as usual, played with admir-
able technique and feeling. Mrs.
Mason is a violinist that local mu-
sicians are proud Of
Miss Gladys Smith appeared in
the only readings on the program
and her very capable work was
highly appreciated.
Mrs. o. J. Henderson rendered a
fine piano solo, Ballade No. 3, by
Chopin. This was Mrs. Henderson
first appearance as pianist on a
concert program in this city. Those
who are familiar with her ability as
q vocalist were confident that her
piano playing would be of a high
order, and they were not disappoint-
ed Mrs. Henderson plays as she
sings, very intelligently and salts,
factorily.
Mrs. G. T. McCauliff, singer
who stands in the front rank of vo-
calists, sang group Of three very
delightfully."- rendered songs. Mrs
McCauliff is always a favorite on
any program.
Part one of the program came tc
a close with Lead Kindly Light,
sung by the recently organized male
choir of nine voices. That the audi
enoe was delighted, as we'll as great

the vigorous applause with which
their performances were greeted. Al
though the new organization has
been rehearsing only few months
they show an efficiency that is re-
markable The choir Is exceedingly
we'll balanced and the voices BLEND
in a wonderfully pleasing manner
This is certainly one OF the mos,
promising musical organizations In
Webster City and those who heard
them on this occasion will be anx.

opportunity offers. The choir is un'
der the special instruction of Prof
