Prominent among the musical events
of the season and undoubtedly marking
a new epoch in Salem musical circles
is the first semi-annRal concert of the
Apollo club, announced for next We'd
nesday night at the Grand Opera house.
That there will be a large and repre-
sentative audience to greet the singers
when they make their bow as choral
Organization seems apparent from the
splendid local interest manifested.
Included in the clubs personnel for
the opening appearance will be sixteen
of Salem s best male voices, under the
direction of John w. Todd. A program
covering a wide range Of effects in
male chorus work and calculated to
suit every taste has been prepared and
numerous special rehearsals are being
held, with view toward catching up
the slightest unfinished phrase or
strain.
Assisting the club in the program
will be Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller, contra[
to, of Portland, she having been chosen
as being a high favorite in Portland
musical circles and as having an en-.
viable reputation throughout the en-
tire northwest.
Miss Berniee Clark is the club g Of
fieiaa aceompanist and will be assist
ed in this important part of the pro-
gram by Miss Beatrice Shelton, or
gan, and Miss Lillian Siege, violin.
Professor Della crowder-Miller has
returned from Mt. Angel, where she
has been putting ON play in the acad-

and followed the commencement exer-
cises which took place Wednesday af-
ternoon. It was given before large
audience, who responded with decided
appreciation of its merits.
