FINE SOLOISTS TO SING
FOR M. v. NJ. c. CONCERT
ON NEXT SUNDAY EVENING

A treat is in store for the music
lovers of this community, who in
tend being in attendance at the con-
cert on Sunday evening which is be-
ing put on by our local choral So
ciety. The music club not only aims
to give the best representative
choral music at it's various concerts,
but also to bring in outside vocalists
who have won their spurs in the
world of song, as soioists. And the
coming concert will not be an ex-
ception to this rule.
Ralph Warren Soule, the tenor
soloist, has had wide experience
in concert and opera. He was for
two years leading tenor with the
DeKoven Opera Co.; one season
with the Paulist Fathers Choir of
New York City; one season with the
comic opera "Irene;" one in the
Merry Widow" revival. Has been
guest artist in the Cleveland and
Detroit Municipal opera companies
and has appeared as soloist with the
New York Philharmonic, Detroit
and Russian Symphony orchestras.
New York and Chicago papers speak
highly of his singing.
Doctors orders will prevent Mrs.
Silbernagle from coming as soprano
soloist as was previously stated.
Miss Marthalynn Trippeer of Gin
cinnati has been engaged to do the
soprano roles in her stead. 1t is
hardly necessary to make any state
ments about Miss Trippeer's sing
ing, as she has been heard here be-
fore. She is an exponent of the ven-
cradle artist Mr.. Dan Beddoe and
has had considerable experience
throughout central states as soloist
with various organizations. A Chi
cago manager, after hearing her,
wrote to the director of the organi-
Zation "You have 'world-beater'
in Miss Trippeer, your soloist."
Mr.. Marcel Roger de BouZon, now
of the faculty of Ohio Wesleyan
Conservatory of Music, is extensive
ly known in the west in concert and
oratorio, and comes highly recon-
mended.
Advance reports have it that
there will be record attendance at
the coming concert, and as num-
ber of public citizens have under
written the expenses no charge is
made at the door. A collection will
be taken to add to the sum already
subscribed 1t would be we'll to be

The business houses and citizens
of the twin cities have responded
very generously in subscribing a
guarantee fund to finance this con-

thank them for this favor, and feels
