 The Choral Union gave its second annual concert Thursday evening at the Comique theatre before a large and appreciative audience. There were seventy participants and their presentation of the varied program was great credit to them and their leader, A. E. Waite. The chorus work with it's tone shading and smoothness was the result of the win. ter's hard work and would have been considered excellent for a much older organization. Miss Alberta Eaton ably accompanied the chorus. Miss Hildegarde Nash, violinist, and Arthur Hackett of Boston, tenor soloist, assist. ed in the miscellaneous program of the first half. Miss Nash has had the advantage of study with some of Europe's best masters and with her natural talent, temperament and sim plicity won the audience. Perhaps her Larghetto (Weber) and Alteration Borowski) awakened greater response in her artistic hearers, but Suhon Rosnarin Waltz (Kriesler) and Hun. garian Dances (Brahms. .Joachim) were very popular. Mir. Hackett's lyric tenor voice embodies both sweetness and volumn, an unusual combination. This he used with 8 true artists appreciation in the widely contrast ing selections, Evening Song (Blum- ental) and The Trumpeter (Dix). Dr. c. Percival Bard accompanied Miss Nash and Mir. Hackett. The first part of The Creation, Haydn's noblest work, was used for the second part of the program, with Miss Eleanor G. Willard, soprano, of Hartford as Gabriel; Arthur Nash, tenor, Uriel, and Ebert Couch, bass, of Hartford, Raphael. Miss Willard uses her sweet soprano voice with ease and under standing. due to the fact that she has made a special study of concert work. "With Verdure Glad" was one of her most pleasing solos. MT. Couch sang with his usual good taste and feeling, and his rich bass voice in the solo Rolling in Roaming Billows'' was greatly enjoyed. ''In Native Worth" taken from the last part of the oratorio was MT. Hackett's star number. The trio "In all the lands resounds the word" with the chorus "The heavens are telling" made an appropriate finale. With the enviable reputation of the Choral Unions splendid work.
