Please In Fargo

The Normalonians of Valley City,
who appeared at the First Baptist
church here Monday evening under
the auspices of the Fargo College
Mems Glee club, proved to be a
splendidly trained girls glee club,
whose members have learned to re-
spond very definitely to a systematic
and telling directing. They made
a splendid impression on the small
but enthusiastic audience which
greeted them, and were generous in
their responses to numerous encores.
The execution of the different chorus
numbers revealed training and prep
aration, and the solo. and other spec
ial numbers were of noteworthy
merit. Dean Eugene WOODLANDS, Of
the Music department OF the Valley
City Normal, who won many Fargo
admirers in a program at the Grand
several months ago. was with the
club as director and was accom-
PIANIST for the vocal solos.
Miss Josephine Wright did most
artistic work as accompanist for
the. other program numbers, and gave
delightful rendition OF CAM
Spinning Song, as a solo number.
Miss Dorothy Mcfarland, a daugh-
ter OF the UEGbluGIlL OA the alACy lily
Normal, was soprano sOloist and was
especially good in the Bach Gounod
number, Ave Maria, sung with both
organ and piano accompaniment and
a violin obligatO. Mr.. Woodlands
was at the piano and Miss Wright
at the organ in this number. Miss
Mcfarland also gave as a solo. Mas
senet's "Elegie," and this too. re-
veaIed careful training OF a very
pleasing voice.
Among the heartiest encores of the
evening were those given Miss Agnes
Lerstad, cOntraltO soloist, for her
excellent rendition of Donizetti's
"Omio Fernando, (Favorita)", and
her response with another italian
number. Miss Lerstad's voice is one
of both strength and sweetness, and
was under fine control.
The other soloist on this program
was Master James Combs, violinist,
who won warm applause for his

western front to assist In the
preparation The lessons OF the cap
ture OF Riga have been preached
religiously to the German troops. 1t
has been pointed out that there a
preliminary bombardment Of four or
five hours to cut the enemy wire and
demoiish defenses was sufficient to
give the Germans a firm footing in
the Russian positions. The enemy
troops have not been told, however,
that the morale OF the Russians at
Riga was very low and that the Ger
man attack was a complete sur
prise.
Allies Well Prepared.
The Germans viii find the allied
morale at the highest pitch on the
western front and their attack will
be far from the surprise desired. The
allies are ready for big blow and
await with assurance the next move
OF the German high command.
The German attack cannot be de-
Iayed much longer. All information
points to the fact that both German

gia, will follow in the order named.
Miss LinwelI has worked hard to
solve the problem of successfully
presenting q satisfactory repertoire
Of plays at the camp theaters, and
has apparently accomplished what
she set out to do. Her first assign
ment was Camp Lewis, washington,
but because Of her being ready so
soon she was asked to do the eastern
camps first.
Miss Linwell resigned her position
at the A. c., about year and a half
ago. While at the college she also
assisted in the dramatics depart
ment, coaching plays in The Little
Country theateT, and was popular
with a large circle Of friends here.

Worthy to Wear
Mantle ofLiSzt

Considering that it was one of
Leopold Godowsky's earliest ambi-
lions to study with the famous List
it is of especial interest that among
all his contemporaries, Godowsky is
the one pianist to be truly compared
in intellectual achievement with
Franz Liszt, and worthy Of wearing
royalty the mantle Of that genius of
Weiman.
The program which Godowsky will
give in Fargo Wednesday evening at
the Orpheum is one of much strength,
and his appearance here will be one
Of the biggest events Of the present
musical season. Adding local inter-
est is the fact that place on it has
been granted the Fargo Symphony
orchestra, which will play the open
ing number, and a selection later in
the program.

One of Finest
Films ShOWn

The large audience gathered at the
A. G.. armory Monday evening for the
fifth number Of the Citizens Lecture
course, was unanimous in the opin-
ion that the motion picture film
which comprised the attraction is
one of the finest that has ever been
shown. It is known as Sir Douglas
Mawson's Bird, Animal and Travel
Motion picture, and because of its
great educational value is being
shown at present in the large uni
versities and colleges all over this
country.
This pictorial account Of the
achievements Of the Australasian
Antarctic expedition, composed Of SO

period of 81 months, was the larg-
est in the history of exploration, and
cost $500, 900. The film presents all
the real movie thrills, with the added
attraction that they are not fictitious,
but true, and photographically, the
picture is said to be the most per-
feet of any ever taken on similar
expedition. The 5000 feet Of picture
shown on the screen are but the
choicest parts Of the 10000 feet

rendition Of a composition by Bohm.
He played with a pleasing sureness
Of touch, and responded to the en-
core.
The chorus numbers were well
chosen and were given with spirit
that added much to the pleasure in
them. PASSWORDS The Brass Band"
was the opening number, and 9TH
ers on the regular program were
Cigars my Love Dwell In a North
ern Land; Wiegand's The Bandits
Bride; Schumahn's Gypsy Life;
MY Loves an Arbutus," Gold Irish)
Nevin's "Serenade"; and F'rimPs
Sympathy" from "The Ffref1y." The
latter was an especial favOrite with
the audience, both because of Miss
McFarland's mischievous assump-
ton of a comedian role, and the
spirited manner in which the num-
Der was sung by all the club.
The Ukulele club, comprised of
six Of the glee club numbers, ap-
peared in special costumes and won
much applause with their various
Hawaiian airs. A string trio, with
Miss Wright at the piano, played
Trouselle's Caprice" in pleasing
manner, and was recalled. The pro-
gram closed with a group Of Hawai-
ian songs by the Ukulele club and
the rest Of the chorus, and at its
conclusion the audience rose to the
strains of 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner," which all Joined in singing.
Informal Reception.
Following the concert the Fargo
College Mems Glee club held an in
formal reception in Jones hall, at
the college, for The Normalonians
and their director, the affair being
quite largely attended by college
people. The opportunity to meet
personally, Mr.. woodlands and the
delightful singers he has so success
fully trained, was much enjoyed.

civilians and soldiers are keyed up
to such pitch of nervous expectancy
that the strain cannot endure for
long. They are waiting for the at
tack with feverish hope that the
high command can this time make
good its promise. The German troops
are expected to fight we'll.
The coming battles will perhaps
be the most sanguinary of the war
and they will be the most intense yet
seen. But they will mark the begin
ming Of the end. for il the Germans
do not break clear through the allied
Iine-and they cannot-they virtually
will be finished. The emperor is
putting every ounce of strength into
this great gamble and If 1T fails In
the early stages 1t means the END
OF Prussian militarism. The allied
forces have a superiority in numbers,
both in men and guns and no doubt
is felt on this front as to the out
come.
