THERE are a few points in con.
nection with the Bach Choir,
which will visit Washington April g.,
that should prove interesting to those
who admire a steadfastness OF pur-
pose and an everlasting determina-
ton to accomplish the seemingly
Impossible. The long and eventful
history of the organization demon
strates these qualities.
The beginning of the choir was in
Bethlehem. Pa. maybe with the
girls chorus which j. Frederick
Wolfe organized in 1882: possibly
with the Bethlehem Choral Union,
gotten together q little while later
by the same gentleman; perhaps with
the Moravian Church Choir. which
filled the gap between the union and
the present group. At any rate, one
man started 1t and has kept 1t gong
ever since. That man was DIR. Nolie:
In the Fall of 1898 group OF
singers approached DIR. Wolfe WIN
the idea of having him coach them
in the famous "B Minor Mass OF
bach. Five years before the union
had disbanded because he insisted
that they take up this work. Now
a few courageous souls were "lili.s

4oined them and on the 5th of De-
cember. 1898, the Bach Choir came
into existence.

ing to Raymond Walters history.
Finally, after year and two months
of earnest preparation and honest
toll. DR.. Wolfe agreed to March q,
1900, as the date for the production.
Thus began one Of the marvels OF
our generation, a body of singers
so inspired with their work and so
fred with the spirit of their leader
that they knew nothing of surrender.

hoods repertory plan is that it will
permit the revival Of it's past import
ant productions and at the same time
allow further experimentation with
new ones. Thus there will be main
tanned a contract with the past. while
any new production that may prove
more than usually popular will be in
corporated in the current repertorv

The Playhouse is the Oldest expert

Gilda GRAY.

CILDA GRAY, one Of the greatest
~ living exponents Of modern Jazz
dances will make Il personal appear
ance at the Rialto Theater next week.
Miss Gray confesses that the only
reason she possesses so much anirna-
ton In her stage work Is that she
reserves her energy and pep for her
professional work and leads IL very
quiet existence off-stage. AS a matter
of fact. In private life she is Mrs. Gil
Boag and maintains a quaint colonial
house in n quiet suburb Of Long Is
land, y. Y. and boasts of being a
first rate cook and housekeeper.
Gilda loves to dance. of course, or
she would never have selected dane
ing as a means of livelihood.
Gilda claims to be also famous for
her recipes. Many of her original
menus and savory recipes have been
passed along to readers of the New
