Mr.. Huff said:
"Continuing newspaper publicity on
these cases could interfere with the
disciplinary program Of the District
of Columbia Reformatory. We have
no control over publicity.
I'VE do not question the sincerity Of

newspapers are read by inmates of

the circumstances, 1 consider this

up VI Do young men OF the university,
upder the direction Of Martii Turunen
and yesterdays concert is one of an
American tour under the auspices Of
the intercollegiate Musical Council
They bring to this country the music
OF their homeland, written by their
famed composers. the greatest Of
whom. Jean Sibelius heads the list
OF sponsors Of the chorus.
Apparently these young men are not
professional singers, for no mention
has been made Of their individual
appearances in concert in any of the
information received about them. but
that they are excellent and sincere
musicians was evident from the type
of program given. Their voices are
OF blending quality. SO we'll chosen
that there is no dividing line between
the lighter and darker color " dis
turb the sense Of perfect balance.
What is more. they are fresh voices,
obeying an inner urge to song, which
gives them vitality and warmth.
1t was real pleasure to follow
the different effects which these young
men achieved in their interpretations
without any exaggeration or any
spectacular means. They maintained
relationship between a fortissimo
and pianissimo and made use Of the
intermediate stages with artistic skill.
Such a command of the perfectly
normal degrees Of color was most re-
Nor ha,p "a

eating what he desired but held the
group under perfect control with 4
minimum expenditure Of energy. The
result was rich. tull-throated singing,
mclsive IN delivery and resilient in
dynamic effects, while warmed with .
sincere feeling.
The program numbers were by Fin
nish composers exclusively, all Of
whom were either honorary members
OF the 'YL," As the long Finnish
name OF the chorus is known in abbre-
Walton, or former students of music
OF the university. 1t was interesting
to note in all the works by these
men who had also absorbed the best
from European musical life, the same
tinge Of somberness and the same
ruggedness Of spirit. Not one Of the
numbers presented yesterday but was
distinctive, expressive of the text and
particularly adapted to bring out the
full resources of trained choral
group.
Yet among them there were some
which carried q special appeal. From
= personal point Of view these were
Jarnefelt's The Cricket" Haapalain-
ems PAN" Turenen's "The Missing
Boat" Maasalo's Chubby Cheek"
(Which had to be repeated), Kuula's
In the Evening" and two beautifully
contrasting numbers by Tornudd,
"Prokko" and "Conjuration" In this
first part Of the program solos were
excellently sung by Alfons Almi, tenor,

and Helge Virkkunen, baritone.
The concluding numbers were by
the composers best known to American
audiences, Sibelius and Palmgren. AS
great as Sibelius is in writing for

the tonal expressiveness Of emotion
and freedom Of composition in songs.
or the three choruses by Sibelius,
his My Hearts Song" was the most
perfectly conceived with its soft ac-
compartment effect with some of the
voices. But the gem Of the program
was Palmgren's Summer Evening.
an arrangement OF folk song with
tenor solo which was finely sung by
Vlljo Lehtinen. The number had to
be repeated. rs did also his Grade
Song" which the chorus gave the
second time in English.
There seemed to be q real Sympa thy
between the audience and the singers
for an atmosphere Of pure enjoyment
prevailed throughout the hall with
the audience following the transla-
tions of the songs in the booklet which
accompanied the program. 1t ap-
plauded the singers and their dis

end for the encores for which en-
