&c. i. Glee Clubs and Choir
Give Annual Spring Concert

OF the two mems groups are rich
and sonorous and the quality of the
Women's Glee Club exceptionally
pure and clear. This could be ap-
praised in detail In the encore sung
a cappella following a group of five
numbers, among which Nevin's 1.-THE
Rosary was presented with particu-
lar effect.
The university choir featured the
Dies Irae" from Perosi's Mesa
da Requiem" sung in memory of
those students and alumni fallen in
this war. The fullness of tone at
tanned by the ensemble in Haydn's
Great and Glrious" had a special
dignity and the same characteristic
was present in the singing of Pales-
trina's "Jesu, Rex Admirabilis."
Having opened the program with
a group Of songs, the Mems Glee Club
joined forces with the choir and
Women's Glee Club in the two final
numbers, the Prayer" from "Hansel
and Gretel" by Hummerdinck and
kountz's God Bless Our Land
Conrad Bernier. organist of the
university, was the accompanist
throughout.
Greenhouse Plays Cello
At National Gallery.
Bernard Greenhouses playing of
the Barber Sonata, Op. 6" as the
novelty of the cello recital he gave
last night in the National Gallery
OF Art with Irving Owens assistance
at the piano, disclosed the full
measure of this gifted artists talent
IL was playing in which emotion and
intelligence combined and were en-
riched by vibrant, expressive tone
and musical feeling.
Mr.. Barber has written we'll for
the instrument, giving it lovely sing
ing melodies and enough brilliant
passage work to add spice to the
work. The dialogues between the
celio and piano are beautiful bits
and nlled, as Is the rest of the COM
position, with rich sentiment. Mr..
greenhouse tooks advantage of all
the fine opportunities for cantabile,
which he delivered with artistic
coloration. Possessed of a masterly
technique, he uses it with discretion
and without forcing his tone beyond
the limits of beauty.
The music for the piano Is moro
dramatic in character and Mr., owen
played his solo portion with bril-
nancy. He miscalculated the acous-
tics OF the east court somewhat in
the ensemble and at times over
shadowed the cello. The perform
ance OF this interesting and CRATE
full work by both musicians was of
a high order.
Bach's Sonata in D Major" for
viola de gambia opened the program.
which give Mr.. Greenhouse further
occasions for display of his fine
musical understanding in the Vieux-
temps Concerto, Op. 49," Peppers
"Chanson Villageoise," Vardi's In
termezzo" and Davidoff's "At the
Fountain"
Hume in Recital
At Phillips Gallery.
In the Phillips Gallery yesterday
afternoon Paul Chandler Hume
baritone, was heard in recital, ac-
companied by William H. Reese. In
program designed in accordance
with his capabilities, Mr.. Hume
showed himself the possessor of a
lyric voice Of lovely quality. well
trained, and Of responsive musical
feeling.
The nature Of his vocal equip
ment does not permit Of dramatic
defamation and he wisely limited
himself to the type of songs best
suited to his voice While the charm
OF his singing was to be appreci-
ated in such numbers as Lully's
"Bois Epais," Chausson's lie Temps
de Lilas' and group by Void con-
sisting Of "Ihr seid die Allerschoen-
ste" "Um Mitternacht," "Maedchen
NIT dem rotten Mundchen" and
"Geselle, wollen wir uns in Kutten
hullen," which he sang with clarity
OF diction, the lack of variety made
for monotony.
