Gets Excellent Results with
School Students

Ouu6f tIlo QlIPctlOn OF MISS
Mary FELTON,, Supervisor of
Music in the local schools, a
very successful musical was
given at the Armory last Fri
day evening. Miss FELTON, had
spent only a very short time
with the pupils in the prepara-
ton Of this program and the re-
suits obtained were splendid,
showing her ability as a teach
er as well as her powers as a
director.
Male Voices Enjoyed
H. L. Jordan and Glenn Lu-
kens, baritone and tenor SOLO
lists, charmed the audience. Mr..
Jordan sang Squire's ''Three for
Jack, interpreting this quaint
ballad most beautifully. Mr..
Lukens sang Lang's Irish Love
Song most charmingly. This was
| the first time many in the audi
ence had heard Mr.. Lukens sing
and his voice appealed strongly
to his audience who insisted up
on a second song. Mr.. Luken'5
clear tenor is absolutely I'M
spoiled by any straining for eff
feet, and it's greatest charm is
it's unspoiled naturalness. More
songs by these two soloists
would have been much appre-
ciated by their listeners.
The songs of the Male Glee
Club were also well rendered and
much enjoyed. The work of this
group of boys in the high school
chorus was also excellent, show
ing that there are some very
good voices in the group and
that the boys had responded
splendidly to Miss Felton's train
ing. The chorus sang Donizet-
it's When the Sun in Splendor
Rising very well indeed and a
little Lullaby by Brahms was
also rendered pleasingly.
The Girls Glee Club sang Men
delssohn's Spring Song and
Strauss Beautiful Blue Danube
with good effect. Miss Eunice
Vale, soprano soloist sang New
ems April and a charming little
trio was sung by six members
of the club. Miss Ellen Horn
gave the Waltz Stryienne as :
whistlilg solo.
