NORMANNA MALE C CH0IR TO SING
 HERE JANUARY II
Thirty five Vocalists from Ketchikan Are Accom-
 panied by Soloists

Thirty-five singers, constituting the Normanna Male Choir of Ket- chikan will be heard the evening of Saturday. January IT, in the Coliseum Theatre in Juneau. Ar engagements for the concert were undertaken by Einar Olsen, repre- sentative of the Marlyn Fish Com pany, and Severin Swanson, of Swanson Brothers Grocery, and they have received sufficient as- surances of public support to jus .tify the making of a contract for the musical organization appear ance. The choir, which is the larg- est male choir in Alaska, is an es- tablished institution in Ketchikan. In previous seasons the singers have. visited few Southeast Alas kaS towns. particularly Petersburg, but their approaching appearance here will be their first in this city.
 The director is Charles Homan Besides the choir singers, there are several soloists including Miss Florence Tobin, violin, and Ed San- de and Lief Berglund, vocalists
 The program will be announced in the near future. It consists of Is numbers.
 So far as the engagement of the choir for this city is concerned, no profit is expected by the local pro- motors of the undertaking. Tickets will be priced just high enough so that if all seats in the Coliseum are occupied the receipts will only cover the guarantee demanded by the choir and rental of the theatre. The promoters will be highly pleas ed if they avoid a deficit.
