MUSICAL PROGRAM
BY THE Y. P. SOCIETY
is WELL RECEIVED

A full house greeted the musical
entertainment put on by the Young
Peoples Society at the Askov as
sembly hall Sunday evening. The
program was well carried out and
| there was no delay between numbers
1T being a credit, to the committee
in charge. At the suggestion of the
chairman, there was no applause fol-
lowing each number, but one long
round of hearty applause at the con-
clusion of the program resounded
through the assemblage.
Marie and Ingeborg Kilstofte play
ed two piano duets, the one taking
best being likely Hungarian Dance
by Du Val. Songs were rendered by
girls chorus and mixed chorus
under the direction of Mrs. A. Hen
riksen, among the numbers being the
beautiful little Danish song, "Gylden-
ris" which was much appreciated
Alva and Ellen Sorensen played two
duets on the harmonicon, "Old Black
Joe" and "Nu falmer Skoven," both
we'll rendered, and the latter selec-
ton especially harmonious, with the
soft musical touch that only that
little instrument can give. Other
numbers that added to make a we'll
balanced program were two violin
solos by Esther Henriksen; two trio
numbers on violin, flute and piano, by
Erling Nielsen, Albert Sorensen, and
Mrs. o. H. Dyreborg; and two ocarina
numbers by Julius Petersen, of which
'Fuglen sit Ole lukker," is especially
pretty and melodious.
Several songs were sung by the
entire audience and ]. c. Jensen in
terspersed the musical program with
humorous reading, 'Paa Frierfod-
der" by Carl Hansen. The story is
a good one, true to life, and it was
well read by Mr.. Jensen, who kept
the audience in a constant uproar of
laughter.
The committee in charge of the
program was Mrs. A. Henriksen, Mrs.
o. H. Dyreborg, and Albert Sorensen.
Besides having a well arranged and
we'll balanced program, they had also
decorated the hall with flowers and
greens and in. general did much to
make it pleasant and enjoyable eve
ming for the audience. ..
Two articles sent in to the paper,
'Frem", were read by Miss Sina
Sorensen.
In closing, the president Of the
Young Peoples Society, Rev. o. H.
Dyreborg, made few remarks about
the effect of good music-its sooth-
ing and good effect. how it cheers
and encourages and in general builds
the individual and helps to make life
more pleasant and wholesome. He
also expressed appreciation of the
past year during which he has served
as president and has had good CO.
operation from the members. The
new officers recently elected will take
charge at the next meeting.
