| her offerings were interesting in
their variety. She was enthusias-
| tically received by the audience and
graciously responded with an en-
core.
Edward Novis, young American
tenor who has already made name
for himself both in this country
and abroad. followed with a group
OF three songs. His first song, the
aria la DANA" (RossinD, was
particularly fine, while the last two,
My Lovely Celia" CHiggins), and
Time for Making Songs Has Come
(Rogers). were especially suited to
the rich lyric qualities of his voice
and were evidence of his gift as
song recitalist. Mr.. Novis was ac-
corded an equally enthusiastic re-
ception by his audience which man.
ifested its appreciation in prolong-
ed applause.
A remarkably fine rendition Of
Dvorak's lovely Coin Home" from
, the New World Symphony" was
given by the women's chorus and
proved to be one of the most pop
ular numbers on the program. Their
second chorus, the quick. Joyous
composition of Kountz, THE Sleigh"
concluded their part of the pro-
gram.
Edward Novis followed with two
solos, Mary Novis playing the cello
cbligato: "Du Bist VIE Eune Blume"
(Degele) and "Berceuse "topera
Jocelyn) by GODDARD. Concluding
this group, Edward Novis sang for
the choral club, upon request, the
popular "Gypsey Love Song. The
charm and skill of the two artists
was never more evident than in
these numbers
Concluding the program was the
beautiful, solemn "Sanctus" by
Gounod, sung by the choral club
with Mr.. Novis singing the incident
al solos.
John c. Canton, director, deserves
great praise for the remarkable de-
velopment of the choral club under
his tute<ge. Their performance
of last night was far superior to
anything that they have done so far.
The organization has made steady
progress under his direction and
credit is due him in no small way
for this progress.
Nina Canton acted as accompan-
iSt for the entire concert, and her
brilliant and charming playing adds
much to the enjoyment of any con-
cert. In compliment TO her ability,
Mr. Novis, in acknowledging the ap-
plause following his first group of
songs, graciously turned to Mrs.
Canton, presenting her to the aud
ience. The ovation she received was
evidence of their appreciation of her
share in the program, and an in
dication of the high place she holds
:. in valley musical circles.
