MADRIGAL CLUBS
BENEFIT CONCERT
Large Audience Shows Appre-
citation of Numbers by Much
Hearty Applause

A large fashionable and apprecia-
tive audience greeted the Madrigal
club last night at Fahnestock Hall.
There was much enthusiasm and
rightly so. for the club made a de-
cidedly good impression.
The tonal quality is good, we'll bal
anced and sonorous; and in the more
rousing dramatic numbers the club
distinguished itself.
The society, only organized last
April, could hardly be expected to
have the artistic finish that will surely
come later. The main shortcoming at
present is sustained pianissimo work,
which has a tendency to breathiness;
and a lack of the finer nuances, which
abound in part song writing. These
qualities are never found in young
organizations, because it takes time
and patience to mature them. The
Harrisburg club has all the material
and qualifications to become a first
class organization. The twenty-five
young men make a splendid appear
ance, and their enunciation is good.
The most impressive numbers were
"On the Sea-" by Buck; Winter
Song" by Bullard; the Wanderers
night song, by Lenz; and the Bacch-
analian Chorus by Elliott; the latter
u modern composition of considerable
merit. 1t is a big rousing number,
we'll constructed, tuneful and interest
ing. 1t had to be repeated, so well did
the audience like 1t.
Mr.. Sutton delivered three interest
ing songs by Francis Korbay. who al
ways draws his inspiration from folk
lore, usually choosing the sad or ira
gic. Mr.. Sutton caught the mood of
each song admirably. He has an ex-
cellent idea of proportion and tone
color, to which he adds a voice of de-
lightful quality and dramatic strength.
Miss Lemer pleased the audience
with a lovely Legende by Carl Bohm.
This is an interesting numebr in the
minor mode with a haunting melody.
The Hungarian Dance was given with
fine vigor and rythmical swing. Miss
Conkling, in addition to being the eff
cient accompanist for Mr.. Sutton and
the club, appeared in a group of
short piano numbers She revealed
good technique. and considerable
musical temperament, to which she
added artistry of no mean order. She
was most successful in Grieg's the
Butterfly" ]. Meetch Stroup
played excellent accompaniments for
Miss Lemer.
Mr.. Kelker, the director of the club,
deserves the highest praise for the
fine proficiency of the club. He had
his men we'll in hand in every number,
and secured clean attacks and artistic
phrasing throughout the program,
which evidenced careful rehearsal.
The entire concert was in time with
the Christmas spirit, of helping and
giving, and was q distinct musical
success.
