solidlfying Its position in the musical life of New Britain, the Wennerberg Male chorus gave a con. cert of high artistic merits in Trlnit, Methodist church last night, under the auspices ot Eyeryman's Bible class. Rev. A. A. Ahlquist. Ph. D., guided the plastic choristers with the baton, while Thure Frederick son, assistant director. provided the accompaniment at the piano.
 The chief assisting artist was Miss Elsa Nordstrom, violinist. of Wor- cester, Mass. Mrs. Harry Christen- sen sang soprano solos and Miss Mildred Erickson gave readings. The audience completely filled the church, necessitating the use of the adjoining Sunday school room for the overflow.
 The careful shading. spontaneous attack and mellow sorority of the Wennerberg choristers were never heard to better advantage. The compositions selected for the even ing's entertainment included the best of the organizations repertoire, which by the way b constantly being increased.
 Standing before the audience without the impediments of music pages, their eyes glued on the baton of Director Ahlquist. the singers made an impressive appearance. The singing was even more impressive At one point two encores had to be given before the audience would be satisfied
 Miss Nordstrom is highly pleas ing violinist, adding bewitching personality to her lowing. Having full control over the expressive gamut of her queenly instrument, she had no difficulty in creating enthusiasm. Opening with the over-played and passe Medication" from Thais, she added the equally over-played Drdla Souvenir" as an encore. In between she played the allegro from the Handel D. major sonata and the Franceur "Siciliano and Rigandon" the latter a star number. During her second ap- pearance she played the Kramer Chant Negre," the Gardner From the Canebrake," and the Rehfeld Spanish Melody" giving as en- cores the Nevin Rosary" and one of the widely-known and often heard Viennese folk song arrangements of kreisler.
 Mrs. Christensen sang Wake Up," by Phillips, ITO You" by Speaks, and Crossing the stile," by Ewing, doing them so well that she favored with an encore.
 Numbers sung by the Wennerberg chorus were: Soldiers Chorus" Gounod; Battle Prayer" Lindblad; "The Vikings" Frieberg. with the incidental solo sung by John Lar- son; "Engelbrekt's March," "ve- nita," Apt; "Olav Trygvason," Peissiger; Carry Me Back to Old .Firginny," with incidental solo by Mrs. Christensen: and "Landsight- Ing," by Grieg. Numerous encores were given.
 Miss Mildred Erickson gave two readings, which contributed greatly to the variety of the program.
