'STABAT Mater
FINELY sung
Sacred Oratorio Rendition
Demonstrates Possibili-
ties of Local Singers
FATHER GRANT is
CONGRATULATED


Playhouse last night proved not only
success in itself. but demonstrated
that there is sufficient musical mate
rial IN wilmington for formation
OF a permanent local choral society
OF large size and OF a symphony or
chestra.
II was brilliant concert from
every point Of view. The audience,
which filled every scat In the house
was highly enthusiastic. So gener-
Gus did it applaud all the soloists
that it would be impossible to Sc
iect any particular one as transcend
ing the others The Rev James NJ.
Grant. who organized and trained
tho chorus and directed the per-
formance OF the oratorio. was given
an ovation. Harry T. Stausehach,
who conducted the orchestra OF S5
pieces in the first two movements
OF Mozart's Symphony in G.. Minor.
likewise gained much distinction.
AS said. the work Of the chorus and
orchestra was much OF revelation
Of the general excellence OF local
talent. although due credit must be
accorded tho singers and players
from Philadelphia who assisted.
In addition TO the oratorio and
symphony, Miss isabelle Wales sang
20 Lord Of Life by May Turner
Falter; sydney Hamer. 'cellist OF
the Philadelphia Orchestra, gave a
solo: Mr.. Stauscbach played the
ID I..fH oh
ard King, baritone. OF Philadelphia,
sang From the Depths by Fabio
Campana. Piano accompaniments
for these solos were provided by
Miss Margery Hamilton Hill and
John Thoms. Jr.
Following the oratorio. John S
Rossell briefly adressed the audience
and told the purpose for which the
concert was given.
"To add to the success OF this
wonderful and impressive work this
evening by a few words OF praise
would be TO impose on you" said
Mr.. Rossell. II consider this. how
ever the greatest example OF the
unity and good-fellowship OF the
people Of this city.
"As you possibly know. this per-
formance was given under tho
auspices Of the Little Sisters Of tn,
Poor. for the poor people they pro
tect and care for-the greatest ex
emplification of the 'Stabat Mater.
They go about begging 10
sustenance for their charges. Thes
people, to enter the home and com
under their protection. must hav
reached the age of sixty years an
be without friends or money wit
which TO care for themselves.
mo distinction Is made as
creed. religion or nationality. The,
Little Sisters Of the Poor cannot tai
money to care for their charges an
they depend upon the kindness
others to help them"
