SPROSS, COMPOSER,
PLAYS AT Benefit
Women's Guild Of Central Union
Mission Gives Concert to Aid
Children's Home.

A concert presented for the benefit OF
the Children's Emergency Home, under
auspices OF the Woman's Guild OF the
Central Union Mission, in the large
ballroom OF the Willard Hotel, attracted
an audience of several hundred last
night.
In the honor box, at the left side OF
the ballroom, sat about dozen OF the
Youngsters who are dependent upon the
home. Chubby, usually well behaved
boys and girls they were, too. through
out q long program. The children
centered their attention upon the stage,
and seemed very much interested In the
program.
The concert featured the work Of one
OF the most popular Of song writer's OF
America-Charles Gilbert Spross. Mr..
Spross was not only present, but ap-
oeared on the program as both composer
and arranger. He also played several
piano selections of his own, including
a particularly intricate left hand Song
Without Words" and one work "Etude
Romantic" by Nine. Chaminade, the
distinguished French composer, for
whom the glee club participating last
night Is named.
The Chaminade Glee Club, composed
of about 35 young woman singers OF this
city, under Esther LlnKlnS, director.
opened the program with Mr.. Spross'
arrangement of Nine. Chaminade's
Scarf Dance" The incidental soprano
solo was sung by Elizabeth Jordan.
They also sang several groups of
Mr., Spross' own works. of which per-
haps the most popular with the audi
ence was "Will-o'- -Wisp," the song
which first made Mr.. Spross famous
The composers own playing of the
very difficult accompaniment of this
song was excellently co-ordinated with
the singing of the club. Throughout
the concert the club sang with clear
diction. The one vocal soloiSt was
Horace Smithey, baritone with a
very vibrant voice. He sang a group
Of Spross songs which the composer
had dedicated to him, and two other
groups. H. F.

well-mown players and 5000 extra
