ever presented in the series of
sacred church musicals.
Excellent tone shading and nice
precision distinguished the choral
numbers and in the Solo groups,
Mrs. Roy johnson of Thompson,
Georgia, newcomer to the valley,
proved herself to be an artist of
the first rank. She has contralto
voice of rich, warm tone and flex-
ible shading and volume.
Three local soloists were heard
to advantage: Mrs. George S.
Washburn soprano, who sang the
exquisite Even Song" with violin
obligato by Wendell Waterman;
Eugene Moore, baritone, who was
heard in the vigorous" The Build
er" (Cadman) and Lois Martin, one
of the younger artists who was
heard in the solo and an olbigato of
the last anthem How Lovely Are
Thy Dwellings,.
Wendell Waterman played with
his to-be-expected artistry the
Saint Saens prelude du Deluge"
with Mrs. Charles Bartholomew as
pianist, and Mrs. Warren Brock or
ganist.
Mrs. Brock was organist for the
concert and Mrs. j. D. Foss, pianist,
Mrs. Eugene Waterman being di-
rector.
