NORMAL RUMPUS
ROBS MESSIAH
OF BIG CROWD
Small Audience Listens to
Stars and Chorus in
Cantatta.
MRS. KNIGHT GIVEN
A GREAT RECEPTION
Monster Gathering of Songsters
Please, But SOlOists Make
Real Hit.

The Messiah was pleasingly render
ed by a monster chorus and a coterie
Of sOloists at the Normal last night.
The crowd was disappointing, but
those who heard the musical feast,
were enthusiastic over the soloists es-
pecially. The massive chorus, how
ever, gave good accounting of it.
self.
The small crowd was due, it was
said last night, to the discord in the
department of music at the Normal
School. Admirers of Miss Margaret
Allan Hinchey had hoped that this
popular young soprano would be in
vited to participate, but as she is held
in disfavor by certain element in
the Normal School, she was not asked
to sing.
The complaints OF the teachers of
music in the Normal have caused the
music lovers CT this city to lose much
interests in the department of music,
and that is believed to have kept many
away from the Normal last night.
Mrs. Franklin Knight, of st. Louis,
who was the contralto soloist last
night, was the feature of the musical
spectacle. She won hearty applause.
Miss Gertrude Finley of st. Louis as
sumed the chief soprano role and
Louis TempIeman, baritone. The So
loists were selected by Miss Flint, a
teacher in the department of music
and she was commended for her
judgment.
