A CONCERT which any community
"a might we'll be proud Of was given
last evening by the music section OF

women. conducted by Herdon Morsel,
with Mrs. S. jaw McCathran. ac-
conlpa mist, and Mrs. j. Harry Cum

assisted last evening by William F.

berg 'cellist, and the Chevy Chase
Chanters, a group of IS men singers
directed by Mr.. Morsell, accompanied
by Leon M. Davis, and Of which
Robert e. Kline, jr. is president. =.
The choruses are well balanced ana
sing with good tone. Both sing with
legato, finished phrasing and delicate
shading, though their attacks some
time were ragged OF the many
numbers sung by the music section,
the chorus of women, it would be
difficult to say which was best, Del
Riego's "Homing," Carl Buschs "A
Dream of Summer" in which the
close harmonias were well brought
out and the voices blended; Ethelbert
Nevin's THE Nightingale's Song"
sung with graceful rhythm;
Cowen's dainty "Snowflakes." or the
encore, Bells of st. Marv's," which
they sang by request at the close Oh
their part of the program, stirring
finish. The Chevy Ctaee Chanters
were particularly effective in Cad
mans THE Builder" and J. P. SCOTS
"The Old Road" which they were
obliged to repeat.
Mr.. Santelme nm and Mr.. Lorleberg,
the assisting artists. perhaps were
disconnected by the piano which was
not in perfect tune, but in their sec
ond appearances appeared to better
advantage. Mr.. Santelmann played
Rehfield's Spanish Dance" with
dash and Suk's "ChanSon d'Amour"
with excellent tone and technic, and
for encore. Kreisler's "Old Refrain"
Mr.. Lorleberg was at his best in
Schumann's "Traumerei" and Mosz-
kowski's "Guitare," the first of which
he played with mis- usual rich, warm
tone and poetic Interpretation and in
the latter. with brilliant technic. He,
too was obliged to respond to an
encore.
Crete Won Bayer played the ac-
compartments for Mr.. Lorleberg WIN
the sympathy of an artist as well as
sparkling technic. Mrs. McCathran,
who is the accompanist for the Music
Section. also PLAYED for Mr.. Santel-
mann. showing skill and ample
technic, and Mr. Davis was capaple
accompanist for TIE chanters. K. b.

In Organ Recital.
MRS. FRANK AKERs FROST
4"1 organist, last evening, at the
National City Christian Churcn,
gave the fifth recital in the series
being sponsored by the local chapter
of the American Guild OF OrganlstS.
To the large audience present tne
program proved most satisfying. Syl-
via Meyer, harpist, was the assisting
artist.
The allegro "Maestoso," from the
Sonata in G Major" by Sir EdWaro
Elgar. was the opening number, 1ol-
lowed by the Debussy La nile aux
cheveau de lin" and the JeuX
d'eau." by Salzedo. for harp. Inc
Salzedo number was delightful in It's
Interpretation by Miss Meyer, as well
sS its content.
"Finlandia," by Sibelius, with its
stirring themes is always popular
number. and in its performance Mrs.
FROST used the resources OF the peau-
tiful instrument at this church 10
decided advantage. The group OF
Vie~ne from pieces en- style llbre"
w2s effective in portraylng various
me -ds. The Lied" with the carlton
compartment, was especially
lovely, and especial mention should
be MADE Of the scintil il'ating "Di-
vertiSSement.
Choral and Variations" by Widor,
an exquisite thing for harp and
organ proved the most popular num-
Der Oh the program. Evening Song, "
by r. w. Seichrest and "Sortie Nup-
tale" by Jepson, concluded the pro-
gram.
Mrs. Frost's clean technique,
marked rhythm and colorful regis
tration make her programs some
thing to look forward to, and Miss
Meyer last evening played the harp
as 1t is seldom heard. o. c. P.
