won the whole-hearted approval
of his audience. Indeed they gave
him an ovation. And one must
commend Mr.. Stone and his ac-
companist, the talented Elmur
Simpson, for their appearance
and poise.
The ogram opened with
Bach's 'Jesu, Joy Of Mans De-
string" This was followed by the
aria from Elijah, 'It is Enough, .
a number that was very well
done indeed. S c h u b er It's der
WegWeiser" and "Du Bist Die
Rub" by the same composer
were most pleasing. The latter
song was dedicated to the mem
DRY of Neota McCurdy Dyett,
Well-knOWn musician. Schubert 5

Pilot by Protheroe, "The Pool
Of Quietness" by Thomas Vim

Mr.. Stone the English words to
the gay little composition and he
was forced to repeat the number
Iris" by Wolf and Tommy Lad''
by Margetson were the conclud-
ing numbers. But the audience
demanded just one more and
they were favored with "Give 8
Man a Horse"
