lowing Successful Tour.

Opportunity to hear the Wenner-
berg male chorus, glee club of Au-
ghstana college will be given when
the harmony men appear in their
annual home concert at the Angus
tana college chapel Saturday night
The chorus returned Friday night
from the 10th annual tour after
having scored one OF the biggest
successes in the history of the
chorus.
Old historical standing Of the
chorus drew capacity houses wher-
ever it appeared. The famous or
ganization has sung it's way into
tie hearts of thousands of music
levers from the foothills of the
Rockies TO the shores of the A.
lantic. In the year 1917 when 1t
toured throughout the eastern
states it appeared in FIVE out of the
six largest cities in the United
States. The primary object of the
chorus has been the promotion OF
Ugh class male chorus singing.
The repertoire consists OF carefully
chosen selections from the stand
ard American. English and Swedish
composers.
Is Exceptional Chorus.
Music lovers who have followed
the history of the chorus agree that
the 1919 Wennerberg chorus is the
best balanced chorus since the
founding of the organization al
most 20 years ago. Although the
outlook was not bright early in
tie season many of the former
members, who had gone into the
and under the able direction of L.
". Killing have developed a tech
nique and an Interpretation of mu-
steal sentiments which musical crit
les declare is difficult to surpass.
Hulda Peterson plays the violin
solos with rare charm and musical
ability Her appearance with the
chorus marks her third consecutive
season. Mildred Nelson is declared
to be the most skiliful accompanist
the chorus has ever had.
Newspaper criticism was everS--
where favorable. The Madison
Democrat says: The Wennerberg
chorus scored a big hit last night
and won repeated applause from
the enthusiastic audience by their
almost perfect technique and har-
mony." The Rockford Morning
Star says: THE Wennerberg
chorus made its appearance one of
the biggest musical events of the
year. Efforts are being made to
secure its return The concert
will be a part of the Augustana
commencement program.
