CALIFORNIA SINGERS
IN UNUSUAL CONCERT
Choir Heard at National City
Christian Church Last
Evening.

The Ecclesia Choir Of California
gave a program last evening as the
evening service in the National City
Christian Church, the pastor, the Rev.
DR.. Raphael Harwood Miller, deliver
ing a sermon In the middle Of the
program, Immediately following the
silver offering. The choir. composed
of 81 singers, was conducted by Elton
Menno Roth, who has been director
Of the group for the four years OF
its existence, going to Southern Cali
fornia from New York. The singers
have rehearsed twice a week the year
around since its organization and
their work last evening more than re-
paid their efforts of these years. The
ensemble is beautiful, the shading
exquisite and their singing of the
sacred music devotional. As the pro-
gram progressed one rather wished
that the compositions were pitched
higher for the soprano. In the lighter
portions Of the songs the work also
was heavy.
The choir made an effective picture
in golden-hued vestments and they
sang without accompaniment and
without notes, which added much to
the effect of real musicianship in en-
semble singing. The music was all
sacred, without a hackneyed number,
two compositions from the pen Of Mr..
Roth, the conductor. For his setting
Of the Twenty third Psalm, Mr.. Roth
has used q modern form, which was
effective in the ensemble, yet was not
simple enough in form to suit the
words.
The Ecclesia Choir is of more than
usual interest in Washington, where
Helen Ferris, a member, has visited
her grandfather, the late Judge Ivory
D. Kimball of the District Court.
Judge Kimball fathered the Memorial
Amphitheater at Arlington and with
President Wilson, laid the cornerstone.
Members Of the choir have been in
Washington during the Cherry Bios
som Festival and will 60 to Phila-
delphia today and continue their tour
of the East before starting back to
California. The program was given
last evening through the efforts Of

and tenor soloist at the church

"SIX TINY R0SEBUDS"
ARE HIT AT GAYETY
Entire Burlesque Company Puts
on a Good Show at Ninth
Street Theater,

Chief attraction this week on the
Gayety stage, no doubt especially re-
inforced for the occasion, are the
"Six Tiny Rosebuds." These six girls,
whose gross tonnage Is exactly 1894
pounds. are hailed enthusiastically by
the audience. But they are only part
of the entertainment, which for a
goodly part of the time rings the
bell" .
One reason for investment value re-
turned is the presence Of Edna "Ha-
cha" Dee, playing another engage
ment. Miss Dee seems to enjoy her
work, with the result that the audience
also enjoys it. Another leader among
the feminine contingent is Nora Muir
ray, tor Nora has a sweet. clear voice of
a quality seldom found in burlesque
performance. Helen Coyne and Wilma
Horner are two other starlets on the
Ninth street horizon whose efforts, both
in their speciality numbers and assist
ing the comedians, should be praised.
Then there is Marlyn King, who does
a difficult novelty dance in a manner
that makes it appear easy. The Grey
brothers. Eddie and Sid, get an en-
thusiastic reception, and deserve every
bit Of it, for their excellent tap
dancing
Among the sewers Of the seeds Of
laughter there is plenty of competi-
ton, though the tramp comic, Mickey
Markwood, seems to top the list. His
hilarious court room scene is good
work. Lew Devine also comes in
for his share Of applause. Sliding"
Billy Watson is responsible for some
uproarious moments, though in spite
of his star billing he seems a bit
outdone by his conferees. Each of
these buffoons should rise, remove his
hat and offer silent vote of thanks
to a young lady by the name of
Frankie Moore for her help. Miss
Moore is an able comedienne in addi-
tion to her duties in the song and
dance field. Other valuable assistance
is offered by hard-working> Johnnie
Cook, who seems to spend more time
on the stage than any one else in
the cast. Incidentally, Fred Bishop
has nice singing voice. The chorus
is much more soothing to the eye
than some have been in the past, and
their routines are well done. H. M.
