MOUNT VERNON SINGING PARTY.

The Mount Vernon Singing Party is
an ideal singing company for an Amer
lean audience. The mixed quartet
gives great opportunities for each solo
voice and allows every singing effect
except the chorus. Equal stress Is
placed on the personnel and on the
program. The four soloists are OF
artist ability. with voices Of beautiful
quality and are endowed with engag-
ing personalities A finished accom-
PIANIST. who Is also a solo pianist. Is
the fifth member of the company.
Songs have been selected that have
pleased most. chiefly those not often
heard but always liked. with a boun-
tiful Offering of brilliant quartet num-
bers. The program is ideal in its con
ceptions; it has symmetry, it has va
riety: above all it has that element
of human interest that reaches the
heart and soul of the audience. 1t in
duces patriotic devotion and higher
regard for ennobling, uplifting senti-
ments. 1t has humOr, it has action.
A feature of the program is a num-
Der of songs by American composers.
These are as varied in nature rs Amer
lean types, since the composers have
found their themes in the cosmOpoli'
tan life of the country Attention cen
tiers around this group. since it devel
ops the interest in national music.
