MESSIAH IS
GIVEN AGAIN
Valley Chorus of so
Better This Year,
Declared

SAN BENITO, Jan. 2.-Despite the
unusually cold weather which pre-
vailed in the Valley Sunday, a yell
filled house heard the sixth annual
successive presentation of THE Mes
siahp given in the Valley at the
Rivoli theatre in the afternoon be-
ginning at $50 o'clock. Making only
a few cuts in the solo and chorus
work the singing lasted somewhat
over two hours. 1t has been the plan
each year to add more of the pro-
duction to the program until later
the entire work will be given, it is
said.
About sixty Valley people form
ed the chorus, most of them having
sung in the production in the past
under the supervision Of Miss Flora
NJ. Todd, Brownsville, who has con-
Quoted the presentation Of "The Mes
siah" every year and trained the
chOruses for their initial attempt
six years ago. Practice this rear on
the choral numbers began early in
the fall and was continued religious
iy until the date of giving. Their
success was assured Sunday by the
applause from the audience.
The four soloists who were engaged
for this occasion are talent from the
Van Hoose studios in Houston and
received high praise for their sing
ing at that place a week before
coming to San Benito. Card G.. FL
lott, bass s%oloist, won his hearers
completely in his impressive person
atty and well controlled volume of
voice.
Sherrot Durant, a representative of
Houston in the Atwater-Kent audi
tion contest which was carried on a
few weeks ago, sang the solo tenor
parts. Although young, Mr.. Durant
handled the difficult parts with the
directness Of one who has trained
many years.
Mrs. William Airing. soprano. and
Mrs. L. r. Kier, alto, handled their
parts with ease of range and proper
feeling.
Last year the soloists were brought
from San Antonio and were well re-
ceived but owing to the added prac-
tice Of the Valley chorus and IA
miliarity coming with repeated per-
formances il has been said that this
was the best production given so far
under the direction Of Miss Todd.
