MRS. LODA GOFORTH SINGS
IN CANTAVES CONCERTS
Soprano, Assisted by. George Koch,
Baritone, and William Sylvano
Thunder, Pianist

Mrs Loda Goforth. soprano. was the
principal soloist, and George Koch, BARI
tone. and William Sylvano Thunder, pianist
were the associate artists in the fifth Of the
series Of concerts by members OF the Can
taves' Chorus last evening In the rooms
of the Orpheus Club, 1920 Chestnut street
The Cantaves Chorus. the odd-lookng
name of which was bestowed by Dr. Hugh
Archibald Clarke, professor of music, and
which Is freely Englished out OF its Latin
coinage as the singing birds" has, under
the direction OF May Porter. musical bach
eIor. takon place among the foremost or
the local choral societies Of women's voices.
This season. in addition to programs and
choruses and part songs by tho entire body,
the Cantaves have stood sponsor for
series OF recitals. introducing individuat
members. They have been very agreeable
in social quality. meritorious in program,
and interesting in soloists.
Mrs. Goforth proved one of the most at
tractlve of the artists presented in the
series. Her voice Is strong, sweet and
vibrant with the power particularly, to ex-
press the dramatic in aria or lied. Almost
the only faults are the tendency to over
Nehemence OF accent in Interpretation and
| that of occasional exploslveness in tone
| production. These are faults of easy cor
rection to such a sincere artist as Mrs Go
| forth seems to be. Her infreauent defects
were most evident In the scene ana air

theatrical number which was given stir

| wick's THE Danza" were sung with due
variety of feeling, and there was a good
| example of nord singing in Leo Stern's

| CSpring'D
Mrs Goforth also engaged in a duet
| Goetze's still VIE die Nacht." with Mr.
| Koch, who disclosed baritone OF suavt
quality and rounded, full proportions. He
sang appeaingly and artistcally In severa
individual numbers. including Taendel'
| Hear Me. We Winds and Waves" Giorda
nos caro- mic ben and Schuberts "Del
| Wanderer."
The excellently discreet accompanist, VIII
liam Sylvano Thunder. had couple OF in
nings as solo pianist, and his adroit per
formance of Cecile Chamnade's "Etude
and "Pierrettc,' a Chopin "Nocturne" ant
"A study" by Paderewski, made one wisl
to hear him more frequently as an executiv
artist instead of a supplementary artist

EARL RICE TO GO TO FRANCE

The following extract from letter
received from Earl C. Rice, formerly Of
Glenwood but for the past five years
a resident of Salt Lake City, and for
some three years a member of Battery
A of Utah, may be interesting to his
many old friends here: "We have
been ordered to report on the LIST Of
July to drill for a month at an artil.
lery school here, before being mustered
into service on the 5th of August. Then
We will go to San Diego, Cal, for twp
months more intensive schooling, after
which we 90 to France, for the finish
Ing practice before going to the front.
Sounds exciting, doesn't t is. No doubt
it will be, but heavens, the work we
have got to go through getting ready.
You know Utah has one battery and
nine troops Of cavalry. Now the or
der has just come from Washington 70
make a regiment of artillery out of
our battery and the cavalry, so there
must be five new batteries gotten into
shape, and of course we of the old
battery must teach the cavalry in ar
tillery work. l was made corporal
two weeks after joining this time, aud
two weeks later made sergeant with
the job Of buying and feeding 200 men.
Now I am out for commission as
second lieutenant, and have hopes, but
it means lot Of hard work. I had
promised papa that I would come over
there and see him few days before
going, but I can't say if I will get the
time, for / must not let anything get
by me here, and am afraid to be away
for long," .. o.. .#..
