The greatest oratorio in the world

greatest hold on public favor, Handlers
Messiah" was sung Wednesday night
at the Auditorium before a much larg-
er audience than concert made up
chiefly of local musicians, has been able
to assemble in Topeka for many a
year.
The chorus and orchestra, composed
OF Topeka musicians, was directed by
Dean Horace Whitehouse of Washburn
college. to whose efforts the successful
presentation OF this great work of art
was chiefly due. The orchestra was
made up Of the members of the Wash
burn college orchestra with assistance
from other musicians. Never since it's
organization has it represented a high
er standard of ability, and the chorus
which was organized and trained espe-
cially for last nights performance,
astonished the audience by its unex-
pected excellence. In responsiveness.
flexibility and variety of tone. it's ca
pacities and resources were indeed SUR
prising. Mr.. Whitehouse has taken
from the town the singers who were
willing to give their service in chorus
work. They we're men and women Of

lied group of singers, he has trained
and nodded to his needs chorus that

reading of the score sets forth the
noble text with fine regard for its
manifold beauties of thought and mood.
The moment that fingers longest in the
recollection. excepting, perhaps. the
celebrated "Hallelujah Chorus was
supplied by the imposing delivery of
the choral For Unto Us a Child Is
Born This part of the oratorio was
repeated in response to the applause
given it. An acknowledgment is due
to Mr. Whitehouse for the energy and
persistence with which he has sought
to make accessible the best music to all
the people of the city. to musicians and
layman as we'll.
The oratoric is divided into three
parts, and on account of its length,
some of the solos and choruses of the
| third part were omitted. While the

length, still if the audience could have
managed to reach the concert hall on
