New Britain herald., 1922-11-25

never 10 be forgotten concert giver by the Paulist choir of New York under the auspices of the New Brit, ain Rotary club for the benefit of the crippled children of this city, The Rotary club is to be congratu- lated for bringing to New Britain and granting the people here the privilege of hearing one of the best choirs in the world. The audience of last eve ming was very attentive and as Father Finn, leader of the organization re- marked after the concert. Tt Is sell dom that we. appear before such a large and appreciative audience as we did in New Britain this evening" {
 The concert opened with two num- bers in ensemble with Rev. William V. Finn conducting Vittoria's Ave Maria" by the mems choir was ex- ceedingly well done and was the first number to gain the hearty approval of the entire audience. This was fol- lowed by Panis Angelicus.
 The most delightful. number in the first part of the program was the in- depreciation of the Christmas Carol Silent Night" with Jack Huber as a soloist. The organ accompaniment played by Father Finn, was most ef- fective and with the chimes was all that could he expected. This number was. followed by Gaul's They That Sow in Tears" the Cherubic Hymn and salve Regina with Overton Moyle as the soloist
 Though the choir sang church mu- sic, the lyric compositions which are the greatest favorites with American audiences, were accorded full recogni- tion on the program.
 The rendition Of "Swanee River" and My Old Kentucky Home appear ed to be exactly what the New Brit ain people wanted for these numbers were roundly applauded and it was necessary for the singers to make many bows, The work of Anthony Uzarowicz as soloist during the .Swanee River" numbe is worthy of the highest praise.
 Tom Morgan. Harold Glynn and Brendon O'Callaghan scored heavily in their number By the Waters of Minnetonka." So realistic was the singing that one could almost hear the waters of the river actually wash ing against the shores.
 Too much cannot be said of the solo work of Jack Huber He cas- fly won over the hearts of the audi ence with his most delightful rendi- ton of The Little Grey Home in the Vest" The people could not seem to get enough of his singing and he was obliged to render two encores. For these he chose Dry Those Tears' and Louisiana Coon" The concert closed with the singing of Gaurs Thine Is the Kingdom" in ensemble.
