MENDELSSOHN CLUB
OPENS ITS SEASON
Noted Philadelphia Singing Society
Offers Novelties on Inter
esting Program

The Mendelsshon Club, for nearly half
. century one of the representative
musical organizations Of Philadelphia.
gave Its opening concert Of the season
yesterday In the ballroom of the Belle
vue-Stratford. under direction OF d.
Lindsey Norden.
Dorothy Johnstone Baseler, the fayorite
harpist, and Clara Yocum Joyce. the ar
tistic contralto, were the assisting artists.
At the head Of the program stood be-
tween the black lines the name of +.
Averay Jones. former accompanist Of the
club. who gave his life for embattled
democracy somewhere in France" in
November last. As a tribute to the
memory Of an excellent musician who
made the supreme sacrifice. the "Credo"
OF Gretchaninoff was sung.
The program was notable for its va
riety, of mood and its wide interest, with
something to suit all musical tastes. The
concert was one of the finest the club
T. has ever given in its long chronicles.
"A Holly Song" prettily sentimental
ana .well-scored part-song, was written
especially for the MendelssohD Club by
Mrs. j.. Maree-Corbin, a well-known
Philadelphia pianist. who was accom-
panist for the society in the early
nineties.
Ine program gave Philadelphld lts
nrst hearing of an important work by
one OF the most interesting OF the RUS
sian composers. Gretchaninofr, who has
positive genius for choral and part
writing. The number. in nine parts, is
most difficult composition to render,
but II was sung with definite distinc-
ton of parts and proper weaving Of
melodies by the club. which gave 1t "a
cappella." This sort of singing without
accompaniment Is one Of the arts In
which the Mendelssohns excel. The
composition 10 "A unique choral concep-
tion. for II embraces some unusual
choral treatments. In the first part
OF the piece the voices are written en-
tirely in octaves. the sopranos. first and
second. tenors. first and second. an
swering the altos. first and second. and
The basses. first and second. Many in
volved dissonances follow, with tre-
mendous climax uniquely developed. The
work closes with a retreating march
rhythm. growing fainter and fainter,
until It ends In an extreme pianissimo.
'"As the Waves Of the Sea" proved one
Of the features of the current musical
season .s F-rts
The. other concerted numbers were
given with full round tone, clearness of
enunciation and due regard to tonal light
and shade, The conductor led his we'll
drilled forces with facile authority.

Third Liberty Loan
BY Celia Louise crittenton

Seriously considered, with insight
and understanding. the Third Liberty
Loan means but one thing-stability.
The unifcation of Government and
people.
The much or little which the peo-
ple place at the hands of the Govern
ment, proportionate to what they pos
sess, will have behind it not alone
the voice of the people but as well
the united will and force of the peo-
ple against a war which threatens to
engulf the whole national family.
We are being Just to ourselves II
we place our money where it is safe.
And we are living up to the dictates
of our national conscience, which also
is our family conscience.
The most safe and reasonable in
vestment possible is with our Govern
ment. For the Government is but
ourselves viewed through the magni
Tying glass. q,
If we were born in the United
States we love our birthplace. 1t is
home. II we were allowed to adopt
the United States that offered to us
more than our depressing birth-coun-
try; offered to us more freedom, a
wider scope, then through that adop-
tion we have gained a Privilege
worthy of even greater devotion and
love.
So, let us all be glad that a Third
Liberty Loan is pending. 1t is good
sign that we trust ourselves, that we
are ready depositors in the Protective
Bank of Home.
Keep the home fires burning" is
no light slogan, lightly spoken. Only
when the fire is quenched by bomb
dropped down through the home
chimney, can we fully realize how
precious and priced is that cherished
and cheerful flame.
We must not and shall not wait
for. that.
The Third Liberty Bond awaits us
and we are ready.
