The Salem Apollo club may have un-
dergone some changes Of numbers and
personnel in the months since the last
concert, but its standard of excellence
has been maintained-with 'screscen-
do trend. Long and scrupulous train
ing under the baton Of Director ljodd
has brought to the group Of male vote
les sii exquisite balance Of volume and
a velvet finish that leaves nothing to
be desired. Listening to their ensemble
numbers one S sense Of pleasure is d.
vided between the quality Of the voices
and the play Of personality by which
the Girector compels every possible
shade Of volume and passion and modu-
lation.
The program was well selected for
the purpose Of bringing out both the
timbrc and the power Of the group,
which showed to the best advantage in
the magnificent harmonies of the "For-
est Harps" with its suggestion Of
storm and tempest, the CLINT Of sun
shine and the song of birds. Its force
was also well brought ont in the mar
tial strains Of the Welch National
hymn arranged and adapted.
Even more delightful were the sub
dued, delicate passages Of the love
songs''My Lady Chloe, !" "Silcnt Rec
election" and "The Maid Of the Val
ley" The pleasure of the huge padi-
ence, which filled practically every seat
in the house was expressed by repeated
encores.
The outstanding star feature of the
concert was the singing Of varied Sc,
ries Of soprano numbers by Winifred
Lugrin Fahcy Of Vancouver, b. O., who
possess voice Of wonderful range and
power, as was shown in grand opera
bers from Verdi and Donizetti. In strik-
ing contrast with the dramatic passion
Of these selections was the delicate CO.
auetry and laughter Of "Comin Z Thro
the Rye" "Cuckoo'' and other win
some ballads. Each one of her program
numbers was accorded an enthusiastic
encore, and after the last selection she
was called back TO the stage again
and sgain. Added to the singers ex-
pressive voice was a fine stage presence
very suggestive Of Nordica.
In the grand total Of excellence In
this concert, due credit must be given
to Miss Lillian Stiege whose violin obli-
gatos msde an exquisite background Of
melody for most of the numbers, and to
Mrs. Grace Soltau, the accompanied Of
the evening. Miss Catharine Carses.
