MOTET CHORAL SOCIETY
In CHRISTMAS CONCERT
Interesting Program Presented Under
Direction of Otto Forney Simon.
Ensembles Excellent.

The Christmas concert OF the MUtei
Choral Society, given on WednesdsS
night at the Memorial Continental
Hall. drew large and interested audi
ence. The program was really divided
into three parts. the first preser ting
music of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. the second music OF the pres
ent time. while the third part included
the Christmas music which has always
been a special feature Of the society :
winter concerts in past ye0s.
Four choruses from The Messiah
were given. the third Behold the Lamb
of God being particularly well rendered.
These were followed by four numbers.
Aria" Mattheson: Water Music" Han
del; and La Boucon' and ''DeuN Tam
bourins'' by Rameau. played chsrmingly
by the Edith Rubel Trio. of New York.
Then by way OF contrast TO the peace
full and reverent atmosphere OF the rest
of the program, the chorus sang the
dance of the Sword by Priestley-
Smith.
This chorus certainly succeeds in pro-
ducing the effect Of elemental barbarism.
but il Is the barbarism that suggests
a crowd trying to get out of burn
ing theater rather than the barba rsm OF
war and the sword. which one would ex-
pect to have an element OF grandeur
as well as frightfulness about II. This
trying number. which was splendidly
rendered. was followed by three trios
Suk's 'Elegie." Les Cloches," by De-
busy. and the beautiful 'Valse Triste"
of Sibelius. the last number being en-
cored.
The beautiful Motet Listen to the
Lambs was next sung. 1t was we'll
sung but IS n little lacking in color
The Christmas music proper. which was
sung about the lighted Christmas tree
with beautiful effect. consisted of the
Bach Golnod Ave Maria. played as a
cello solo. The Morning Star on High
is Glowing" and 10. How Rose rs
Blooming by Praetorus. and an ar
by Walter Damrosch OF the
beautiful ''HeilGe Nacht." The program
was completed by Bach's "Sanctus." OF
TO Torney Simon is deserving of the
greatest praise. both for the selection OF
SO interesting program and for the
excellent ensemble of the chorus
under his direction. He was ably
assisted at the piano by Mrs. Simon
and George A. Wilson.

as may be assigned to it by high Of

Sioux City, July 22.-The forthcom-

probably 80 far as the bond fund Is
concerned and there Is a possibility
that smaller reductions could be made
in some Of the other special funds.
Councilman Beerend said.
The councilman was Of the opinion.
however that there would be short
age Of at least $4,000 in the general
fund, and confessed that he could see
no way in which the next council
could meet the situation caused by this
shortage Of money with which to carry
on the work that usually is paid for
out of this fund.
There Is no reason for the short
sighted work of the legislature in elm
mating set revenues and not providing
some means whereby cities could meet
the deficit, he asserted. The city, he
pointed out. can reduce the drain on
the general fund by taking the scaven-
ger department out Of the fund and
creating q health levy. The street
sprinkling cost could also be put In

there still remained a $4,000 loss to
