| The Paulist Choristers Of Chicago, who
are coming here for a concert at the Co.
lumbia Theater Tuesday afternoon. under
the local management Of T. Arthur Smith,
present an unusual spectacle on the con-
| cert stage as they did in the streets OF
Paris in May. 1912, when with their vest
ments they led a great procession of five
hundred musical organizations from
Place de Concorde to Bastille. The full
number Of the chorists when they are
| singing with their entire society reach
| $50 voices, boys and men, three-fifths OF
those being small boys between the ages
of nine and fourteen. The soprano Sec
| ton has range Of two octaves and seven
notes. all lyric and scientifically blended,
This unusual range for sopranos afford
splendid opportunity for effective inter-
probation of the most widely differing
styles Of composition. They are coming
| here fresh from the publicity gained by
an international coupe The critiques of
their last Chicago concerts indicate that
the Choristers have not lost any of their
effectiveness since their return from Eu-
rope. but rather have gained in general
finality on ensemble work and finesse. 1t
will be interesting to note the ease with
which small boys now interpret an Ital-
ian Motel of the early centuries-now a
German part-song-now Netherland Mad
rigaEnow brilliant French fugue This
is one of the most unusual entertain
ments ever offered to the public here.
Much interes. is being centered in the
coming piano recital on April 30 of Louis
A. Potter. jr, at the New Willard ball
room. Mr.. Potter is also known in New
York and through the South where he has
been associated with such artists as Hum
bird Duffey, Frederic Martin. Christian

ter and organist of Calvary Baptist
Church, where he has presented several
cantatas in connection with his regular
duties.
AS a pianist, Mr.. Potter is an exponent
of the high artistic abilities one can at
tain through instructions in the Capital
City. His early musical training was re-
ceived from Charles H. Chase and later
he graduated from the Won Unschuld
University of Music. There is a musician
ship about Mr.. Potter's playing that ap-
peals to master and student. He pos
sesses power, brilliancy and temperament
to a remarkable degree and all of these
characteristics will be brought out in the
which he will present on We'd
