effective offerings. These are
Song of the Vikings" (Eaton Fanlnxl.
male voices, the orpheus Male Chory.'
Probably the most interesting thing abort
this record Is the vigor with which the "a.
lection Is sung and played. We ALWAYS
think of tho sturdy Vikings as being tia
personifcation of vigorous action and dar.

of II Love to Tell the Story" and they
were set to music by w. G. Fischer. A
feature of the record Is the clarity of each
voice part and the beautiful blending
