MANY FINE NUMBERS

! of the Thursday Musical club open
| ed at their third annual concert last
evening at the Presbyterian church
with Pinsuti's lifting and sparkling
"Wclcome Pretty Primrose until
/ the chorus closed with Demarest's
america Triumphant" as grand
! finale, the interest of the large au
dience was held.
( The program which was filled
with a variety of delightful num-
hers came to close all too soon. 1t
was with reluctance that the crowd
ceased their applause and rose to
depart.
Outstanding numbers on the pro-
gram consisted of the two piano and
eight hand selections, and the vocal
quintette. Mrs. Arthur Bauer and
Mrs. De Ligouri introduced the
former with LA Baladine Caprice
which allowed the players to show
their skill' to advantage in the pre-
sentatiOn of piece which was fill
ed with tinkling notes which rippl-
ed up and down the two pianos. This
was followed with Schubert's "Mar-
che Militairc", a piece that was
made particularly attractive by the
Interpretation given it by the plan
lists.
S-Hand Piano Number
The eight hand piano number
which appeared on the latter part
of the program as presented by
Mines. Gencvieve NJ. Hughes, X. f..
Morris, Richard Tracy, and G. r..
Wingreenc surprised and pleased
the audience, for it is rather I'M
usual to have double piano numbers.
The Grand Valsc de Concert al
lowed the players opportunities IN
interpreting piece which required
skill in playing intricate little turns
and thrills in addition to bringing
out volume in working up to eli
makes.
In singing "Wynken, Blynken,
and Nod" the vocalists sang with
wonderful harmonious beauty. Mrs.
Wilbur Targarts voice appeared
well adapted to carrying the soprano
obligato part while Mines. Bauer
Scheffcr, Scothorn, and NORRIS
voices combined to produce n pow
) erful quartet.
While certain numbers were par
ticularly attractive because The
type Of music is not so common IN
Bismarck, yet the solo and duet Sc
lectiOns won repeated applause
from the audience. George Hum
phreys as the first vocal soloist on
the program was warmly received
in his rendition of McGill's "Duna"
,An,. ho lot
ter being rythmatical selection
particularly well adapted to the
singers voice.
Violin Selections Good
Donald Mac Donald was showcred
with applause at the conclusion Of
his violin selections. The first one,
Caprice Viennois" by Kriesler was
a sprightly number filled with ella
borate runs that gave Mr.. MacDon-
aid a chance to show his skill in
bringing forth brilliant sparkling
tones from his instrument HIS
second number by Wieniawski, in di-
rect contrast to the first, was filled
with wierd and mournful notes of
the minor keys. The violinst dis
played his skill as musician in
making the transformation to en-
tirely different types of music with
ease and adroitness.
Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Scothorn
gave a charming Interpretation of
schubert's "Serenade," u song that
gave them ample opportunity in dis
playing their voice qualities.
Mrs. John Larson was warmly
received by her hearers in two
songs" "The Spirit Flower" ana
MAY Morning" the latter catchy
little song particularly pleasing.
Much of her popularity was due to
the clear enunciation which she dis
played in singing.
Henry Halverson refused to re-
spond to encores after singing "My
Mother and Just Song at Twi-
light" dispite the insistance of the
audience. Both songs were artis-
tically rendered
To Madam Scheffer who directed
the chorus work goes much of the
credit for the wonderful harmonious
effect produced by the ensemble
numbers given by the club members
The concluding number, America
Triumphant" was one of the bril-
liant selections of the program.
