PAYS COMPLIMENT
TO LOCAL SINGERS
Former Grand Opera Star
Says City is ''Most Musical
in United States.

"Babson says South Bend is the
best city in the country from an
economics standpoint, but I main
tain this is also the most musical
city in the United States"
This display of enthusiasm on the
part of Mrs. Olive Maine, formerly
connected with the Chicago Grand
Opera company, is the result of the
splendid showing made by the Com
munity Choir Of so voices at their
initial rehearsal held last night at
the Conservatory Of Music.
Many of the best singers of the
city have joined the choir to help
make the local organization one of
the best in the country and TO con-
firm Mrs. Names belief that South
Bend is musically inclined.
on numerous occasions South
Bend has been referred to as a city
not interested in music. but the man
ner I'm which the '1nflammatus" was
rendered last night has completely
overcome this assertion.
All members entered the rehearsal
with a determination 10 master the
program they are TO sing in con-
junction WITH the south beQQ sym
phony orchestra at the final con-
cert Of the series, and thus far they
have succeeded. The performance
last night would have done justice
10 any professional organization in
the country.
Mrs. Maine, who is directing the
work Of the Community Choir, re-
Gently came to South Bend for a
rest after two successful seasons Of
touring. She refuses to discontinue
the community choir idea until the
unsteady inclined Of the city have
attained their goal, overcoming the
wrong impression that South Bend
/ IL not a musical city.
The next rehearsal Of the choir
will be held at the Conservatory OF
Music on Monday night, Nov. II
from 7 to S o'clock, when the en-.
tire score for the production will
[ be distributed.
