Miss Harbeson's voice has grown
in volume, her phrasing is most
facile, her nuances more eloquent,
her delivery more dramatic than
when we heard her last. Mr.. Harbe-
son, who has lately been singing in
Opera, has the ease and grace in
voice and manner of one who is at
home in his art, and his voice went
straight to the heart of his hearers.
Mr.. Weldon lent himself, as al
ways, to the role of sympathetic

that singers and player produced

DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT

Music lovers in Mt. Sterling and
surrounding towns enjoyed rare
treat Friday night in a concert given
at the High School Auditorium by
Miss Mary Dan Harbeson, soprano,
Mr.. Robert Harbeson, tenor, and Mr..
Nelson Weldon, pianist, under the
auspices of the Presbyterian church.
The program presented variety OF
songs, which needs must be pre-
scented each in His Own Tongue"
so to speak, but the singers found
no difficulty in comprising the de-
mands made by each Of the COM
posers. In the first number on the
program, a duet, "Rose of My
Heart" by Lohr, the voices of the
singers keyed themselves in delight
full meditation Of tone color, renew
ing the old confidence Of many of
the listeners, as was evidenced by
the warm applause. The program
proceeded with growing delight as
Miss Harbeson sang group of
songs, (a) "Fairy Piper" by Brew
err, (b) Glass o. Mine" by Maley,
(c) "Sunbeams" by Ronald, all with
characteristic intelligence and musi-
cal charm so satisfying to the listen
err. Mr.. Harbeson was heard next in
group of songs, (a) passing By"
by Purcell, (b) "Mother Machree"
and (c) PHILOSOPHY" by Browning,
which were treated in a delightfully."-
sympathetic and wholly captivating
vein.
Them the two singers together
again in "Gray Days" and "When
You and / were Young Maggie"
found themselves in ever deepening
sympathy and understanding, their
voices reminding one at times of well
rendered double-stopping on the
Cello.
Mr.. Weldon, so gifted on the piano
in technique and Interpretation, de-
lighted the audience with his concep-
ton of Gam Nicer (By the Sea-" by
Shubert, the first measure having
an unusual singing quality, despite
the fact that he was at the mercy Of
a strange instrument; he was very
happy in two familiar encores.
Miss Harbeson and Mr.. Harbeson
were especially convincing in their
rendition of the always popular
'When We Two were Maying," fol-
lowed by "Nearest and Dearest" by
Caraccioli. Their voices had well
found themselves in the accoustical
intricacies of the building, and they
hurried ON to their final group of
songs with ever-growing satisfaction
to the listener, "The Lass with the
Delicate Air" being given by Miss
Harbeson much as the worlds would
suggest. Miss Harbeson's dignifed
and impassioned rendering of "Thy
Beaming Eyes" by MacDowell, may
not be passed over lightly; if there
had ever been doubt Of her artistry,
! it must here have met it's Waterloo.
Mr.. Harbeson's deliciously rich
tenor voice found congenial vehicles
in his last group Of songs, winch
were given with delightful abandon
and musical insight, (a) "Her Rose"
by Coombs, (b) "The Sky Blue Wa
ter" by Cadman, (c) "Tommy Lad"
by Marletson. The program closed
with duet, ut was Lovers Kiss"
by Mathew, which seemed fitting
ending to a program designed rath-
err for musical entertainment, than
for musical study, which was as it
should be. The artists We're more
than generous with their encores,

The ancient Greeks discovered the potency of alcohol in the form of wine long before they emcTged into the period of actual history. In the earli- est legendary times, when fact was mixed with so much fable, wine is nearly always celebrated. The Greeks themselves could not find record of 6 time when it was not known, so they attributed its introduction to the gods, and gradually they associated 1t more and more with Dionysus, who is bet ter known to Us nn&er tb@ nauIe of Bacchus, the sOn of ZGUs and Sem neIe.
 If we could bring the past to life again and transport ourselves, just at this time of year, to ancient Athens. again and transport ourselves, in the early spring of year, to ancient Athens, From March 2S to April the resi- dents celebrated the passing of winter and the approach of summer. and in all their festivities Dionysus was the
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-07-22

chief object of the reverence. He was regarded as having delivered the earth from the cold cheerisssness of winter and a sacred image of the god was carried in procession through the streets, attended by a chorus of sing ing boys. In the best period of Athe- nian supremacy this festival was joyous and stimulating occasion, cul- ninating in the performance of great tragedies and comedies in Tae huge theater of Dionysus. Later it degener- ated into more license.
 It is curious to find ia the myth of Dionyaus Q parallel to the modern struggle against alcohol. The Greek writers who describe the worship of the god say that after he had reached manhood he started to journey far ana wide through the world to teach men how to raise grapes and how to con vert the grape juice into wine. Often times he was gladly welcomed. but there were many places where his
 Tom0rroW's Picfure-Th
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-07-22

coming was resented. Two kings agi- tated against him and one of them was such a fiery enemy to alcohol that Dionysus had to leap into the sea to escape his wrath. In another place three sisters who refused to join in the orgies of the god were transformed into birds. As both of the kings who opposed Dionysus were punished by the gods for their daring 1t is to be inferred that the ancient Greeks were not so ardent in their desire for pro hibition as the people of the world are today.
 Wine is frequently mentioned by HomGF- in his tales of the men and gods who fought under the walls of Troy. In his description of the wan derings of Ulysses there are two in cidents in which wine played an im- portant part in tha hero's life, in one of them being helpful and in the other harmful. The hrst was when Ulysses came to the island of the Cyclops, ProIigacy ot Charaa,
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-07-22

where the great giant Polyphemus lived in a cave and deVoured tha wan- derer's comrades. When but seven of them were left Ulysses brought out a great bowl of dark red wine, which he induced the giant to drink. It pleased him so much that he called for moas and more of this drink that he had never before tasted and when ns dropped of into drunken stuI.,. Ulysses and his companions made their escape.
 But on the island of Cfrce wine was less beneficial to the wise man of the ancient world. Here the enchantress mixed drugs with the wine that was served to the Greeks, and when they had forgotten their own land and friends she transformed them into swine. Ulysses escaped because he bore with him magical plant. but had he not poss sessed this gift of the gods he. too. would have been turned intd a grunt!ng hog.
