sINGTNGI IS "A MUNICIPAL PROJECT IN ST. PAUL

ton Of Washington's Birthday, oi
Memorial Day, perhaps a Thanks
giving festival, or whatever the oc
casion of civic or community interest
the Municipal Chorus is sure to have
part. The people have come to ex.
pect it, and they like it.
Men and women like to sing. That
was one of the convictions of the men
who organized the chorus. So, one
of the objects of the chorus was to
afford an opportunity of expression
to these men and women who like to
sing, This the chorus has done, in
ever-increasing measure, but more
than that, it has furnished good
musical entertainment to thousands
of men and women in st. Paul. Free
concerts and entertainments are given
from time to time, and If you wish
to know the place the Municipal Cho-
rus holds in the community, you need
only to try to get into the auditorium
for one of these performances.
Take the presentation of "The
Bohemian Girl for instance. Crowds
packed the street in front of the audi
forum for blocks when the last seat
had been taken. Between $1,000 and
10000 people tried in vain to crowd
into the auditorium for that perform
ance And the auditorium is not a
small building, the theater portion set
for the opera holding approximately
4 900 people.
Indeed, the crowds attracted by the
performances have constituted the
me obstacle in the promotion Of the
.horus, according to James M. Clan
", commissioner of parks and play
grounds, under whose department the
york of the chorus comes. Increas-
NC the number of performances of
ach concert has tended to obviate {
One Of the difficulty, but even so, I
he Municipal Chorus has found itself ,
t times beset with too much {
opularity.

Of the organization as a public insti-

pays dividends. Singing is just as
necessary as the parks, in st. Paul,

most as securely.
Indeed, the Municipal Chorus in st.
