Sing IN BISMARCK
Rare Musical Event Coming
Proceeds for Belbiun,
Relief Fund.

Bismarck is to have a rare must
cal treat in the Royal 'Gwent Welsh
Singers, a company of Is trained
male voices under the direction OF
George F. Davies, who are to appear
at the Auditorium ON January 81,
next.
The concert is to he given for the
benefit of the Belgian Relief fund and
the proceeds will be devoted to that
cause. Governor Hanna has taken
marked interest in the event and will
name a committee to have charge OF
the arrangements. 1t is expected that
in addition to being an event in the
musical history of the city, it will
be a social affair also of semi-official
character, to he attended by Governor
Hanna, the state officials and mem
bers of the legislative assembly.
The fame of Welsh choral singing
became worldwide when, In 1872, q
mixed choir, consisting mainly OF
Welsh village folk, under the leader
ship of Caradog Griffith Rhys-Jones),
won the Crystal Palace company's
$500 challenge trophy, and a cash
prize Of $500. This fame was en-
HANGED in the following year, When
the same choir under the same leader
again 20 the trophy, beating the
London choir, known then as the Par
is Prize choir, under the leadership
of Mr.. Proudman. The sons, Of the
principality have ever since main
tanned the fame and ever, enhanced
the standard established and set by
the Crystal Palace victories.
OF all the Welsh musical organize
tions, the Royal Gwent Welsh Sing
ers has been first and foremost, not
only to maintain the fame, hut to set
a standard to Welsh or any other che.
raj singing that has never vet been
excel!ed.
The visits of the Royal Gwent
Welsh Singers is by no means a new
venture. Indeed, it is now a matter
of history. Americans were first
thrilled by these singers, from the
land of song as early as 1893, when
two Welsh choruses from Wales won
first prizes at the Worlds Fair, Chi
cago. The Royal Welsh Gwent Sing
ers stands-and singsLbefore the
world today as the unsurpassed Or
g%anization of its kind, and incidental
ly as the standard bearer through
all lands of. the superiority ~ the
Welsh nation az a nation Of si1xerk.

1.-THE SWEDE AND THE MERRY
WIDOW.

Walter Wilson, that famous Swed.
ish dialect comedian is coming west.
Mr.. Wilson has played through the
east with "Ole Olson" for the past
three years to most f~lattering sue
cess. This season Mr.. Cronk, the Chi
cago producer, arranged with Alfred
Thomas, the noted playwright, to
write a new play to feature Mr.. Will
son and the result was the greatest
of the Swedish dialect plays, "The
Swede and the Merry Widow" which
has made more than good since its
opening in Chicago early last August.
Different from most plays of this
class st.he merry widow runs very
strong in this play, similar to "The
Flirt." The two young stars are sup
ported by a most excellent cast which
includes such w%ell-known people as
Richard Kent, Harry Lee Cooke, Ed
ma Hodges and Miss Ruth Ames. The
plot Of the play is laid in Montana,
while the last act takes place at Balm
Beach, Florida. In addition to the
play, vaudeville specialties will be
given between the three acts of the
play.
