chorus of fifty-three voices.

chorus Of dfty.three voices.
Mrs. Ray Cuppet opened the pro-
gram with a beautlfully-played num-
Der on the organ, followed by the
noted chorus from Tannhausar Hail,
Bright Abode" which was sung with
great spirit and precision by the
chorus. One noticeable feature Of the
chorus was the good attack and shad-
ing. When one stops to think that
this chorus has only been rehearslng
since last October, the result has
been most satisfactory. This Is due
to Mrs. w. Lee Williams, the d.
rectress, who has given her time and
talent to make the chorus an estab-
lished fact in Clarksburg. Mrs. Will
Hams has great personal magnetism,
and has the chorus under good con-
troll. BY the wave OF her hand they
sing as she wills-loud, soft, sustain
ed tones-everything that goes to
make up well-trained chorus. Mrs.
Homer Williams, talented musician,
played the difficult accompaniment in
an artistic manner. A singer and
chorus are handicapped unless the
accompaniment Is we'll interpreted.
This Mrs. Williams did admirably.
She was Of great help to the direct
ress. Miss Genevieve Elliott sang a
group of three songs, the Fair Pip
ers" being her best number. The ac-
compartment was especially beauti-
full and one could almost see the fair
les. For an encore she gave JEAN"
by spross. Miss Elliott has beau
titul clear bell-like voice which is
very pleasing.
DR.. Charles L. Moore. former
pupil of Carlo Minetti, of Pittsburg,
sang the Toreador's song from Car
men," and readily won a place for
himself in the hearts OF Clarksburg-
ers present. The audience fairly
went wild over his singing. For an
encore he gave the "Bandelon." by
Stuart.
A surprise that was not on the pro-
gram. was sprung on the audience
when Miss Harriet Lippman, of Ger
many, cousin Of Miss Elliott, sang
two numbers Itch Liebe Dich." by
Cries, and the "F1orian's" song by
GODDARD. She repeated the last as an
encore. Miss Lippman has only been
In the country about three weeks. She
70 a noted actress and has played In
"Isben's Ghost" Little Lord Faun-
tleroy" and others. She has played
before and been entertained by the
German emperor and the kings OF
Wurtemberg and saxony. Her stage
name Is Harriet Garcia.
Miss Elliott and Miss Llppman sang
three duets-"A Wander's Might
Song" and 1.-THE Angel" by Mendels-
son: and THE Maybelle and the
Flowers" by Gournd.
] DR.. Moore. by special request. sang
the "Muliteer of Tarragona." by
Heurlon. For an encore he sang
'The Chip OF the Old Block"
Hear My Prayer" by Mendels-
sohn, with soprano oblIgato, by
touchingly rendered. Too much
praise cannot be given to the Mar
cato club in giving to Clarksburg a
chorus that will mean 30 much to the
musical life OF the community.
The piano accomplishments were
played by Mrs. Homer Williams in a
sympathetic and artistic manner. on
May 2 the Choral Club will give the
cantata Of "oryBseuB." by Max Brueh
and the event will be eagerly looked
forward to.
