Choir Sings
i'm Concert

Last night witnessed the Choral
Concert given by the Zion choir,
accompanied by the Zion Orchestra,
at the Cadle Tabernacle. was sur
prised at the way the choir of three
hundred people we're handled and
the ease with which they sang
heavy numbers.
In my opinion "InflammatuS" by
Rossini was the best number that
the chorus did. Mrs. j. D. Thomas
took the solo parts in splendid
manner. Here the orchestra was
given big part to handle and they
did it admirably. The chorus was
afforded many chances to show
what they could do.
Ring Out, Ye Heavenly Trum-
pets" from RubenSteins paradise
Lost, was a. good choral from
standpoint of technique in the man
ner in which it was sung.
Richard F. Hire, who was in the
orchestra, played several violin
solos that were good. Gypsy Airs"
was the best of his numbers. Hire
proved himself to be the best artist
of the entire organization with the
last mentioned piece. He also played
the third movement from Mendels-
sohnS Concerto in E Minor"
There were several cornet solos
that seemed to be too heavy for
the players. J. D. Thomas, the di-
rector, sang "Why Do the Nations"
from Handles Messiah, in place of
the contralto solo scheduled for
Mrs. Sparrow. This is a religious
composition with which I am not
familiar.
George McElroy and his four
sons, who comprise the saxophone
quintet, played the Soldiers Choir
u.s. and as an encore a medley that
contained the Song of India" and
Waters of Minatonka." This was
one of the best features of the pro-
gram and they played Gounod'S
composition with rare ability.
The only number given over to
the orchestra was Morning, Noon
and Night" and I have asked my
self many times whether 1 was at
fault in thinking that some instru-
ment or other was out of key dur
ing the entire selection. Perhaps
am wrong, but I failed to get the
keen enjoyment from this piece that
I should have, because Of this.
