CHORAL SOCIETY IN
SPLENDID RECITAL
Both Afternoon and Evening Con
certs Merit the Large Audi
ences in Attendance
Before what was in all probability'
the largest audience which ever at
tended a symphony concert in this city
the Russian Symphony Orchestra, con
ducted by Modest Altschuler, yester
day afternoon opened the annual
Easter music festival of the Harrls
burg Choral Society. This season
marks the llrst that this orchestra has
appeared in this city, and while the
program did not comprise numbers
such as are usually heard played by a
symphony orchestra. Mr. Altschuler
used admirable taste In tho selection
of his numbers. Avoiding, as he did,
the large symphonies, he presented a
well-balanced program of smaller se
lections well within the capabilities of
the number of instruments he is using
on this tour. His orchestra numbered
but thirty-live, made up six first vio
lins, six second violin? two cellos, two
trumpets, two bassoo. , two clarinets,
three French horns, two trombones,
one English horn, harp, alto, three
double bass, kettle and snare drums,
piccolo and flute.
The charming and well-known over
ture from "Mignon" by Thomas opened
the program. So persistent was the
audience in Its applause of this num
ber that an encore, "Humoresque," by
Dvorak, was rendered. At both the
beginning of this and of the encore of
the sixth number enthusiastic admirers
of "their favorites" were transported
to the heights of applause during the
opening bars. One becomes accus
tomed to outbursts of this kind at a
vaudeville show, but during a sym
phony concert such action is strangely
out of place.
Well-Rentlered Program
The largo from the "New World" |
symphony by Dvorak was not only i
played in a most linished style, but'
was in all probability the most inter- |
esting number on the program. This
symphony is characteristically Ameri
can and Dvorak makes the most of
the possibilities presented by the In
dian themes and best works out the
development of these themes in the
D flat major largo.
Bernard Altschuler, cello soloist,
used the "Andante Cantabile" by
Chopin and the fascinating "Pas Pied"
by Gillet for his numbers and re
sponded to an encore with Saint-Saens'
"The Swan."
Of the twenty Liszt rhapsodies the
second is probably the best known,
and it was this one which was used
for the next number. In this number
the orchestra was heard at its best,
especially in the last of the three
movements, the wild, unrestrained
czardas of the Hungarian gypsy.
Three small numbers, "Praeludium,"
by Jaernfelt; the pleasing ballet music
from "Life for the Czar," by Glinka,
and the dance of fairy dolls from the
"Nutcracker" suite by Tschalkowsky,
introduced the celeste, an instrument
which, not altogether new, is but sel
dom used. The tone of this instru
ment is of exquisite purity and is used
where special tonal quality is desired
in ballets ajul mysterious numbers.
The Instrument is one of the har
monica family, in which plates of
steel suspended over resonating boxes
of wood are struck by hammers. Its
beautiful qualities were best heard in
the last number, to which Rime. Ros
sini graciously responded to her en
core by repeating the number.
"Dance of the Hours"
Of the remaining numbers the
"Dance of the Hours" from Pon
chielli's "Giaconda," which was en
cored with Rubenstein's "Spring Song"
and the "March Slav," by Tschal
kowsky, were notably well done. The
piercing calls of the trumpets and the
heavy tones of the brass were notice
able, but a great deal of credit is due
Mr. Altschuler for the masterly way
he produced this brilliant march of
somber theme which in the finale
brings into prominence the Russian
national air so magnificently.
Taking the concert in its entirety,
the orchestra played with vim and
vigor, but lacked the finish which is
the dominant feature of the larger
symphony orchestras.
Choral Recital
The Harrisburg Choral Society last
night produced in its nineteenth sea
son, "The Elijah," by Mendelssohn, un
der the directorship of J. Fred Wolle,
aslsted by the Russian Symphony Or
chestra. Miss Marie Stoddart, soprano;
Miss Brenda Macrae, contralto; Roy
Steele, tenor, and Mr. Stanley, baritone,
were the assisting artists.
Too much praise cannot be given Mr.
Wolle for the wonderful chorus work
of the society. Seldom one hears a
chorus so perfectly balanced and so re
sponsive to the direction of the leader.
In a few words; the chorus parts closely
approached perfection.
The oratorio opens with the prophecy
of "Elijah" to the people of Israel that
"There Shall Not Be Dew Nor
Rain These Years." . The samber,
despairing overture for the or
chestra In the score was omit
ted, the prophecy being immedi
ately followed by the plaintive cry of
the people in the chorus, "Help, Lord,"
which in three passionate appeals lealds
into the soprano -and contralto duet,
"Zlon Spreadeth Her Hands," with
chorus. "Lord, Bow Thine Ear to Our
Prayer" the theme of which is an
old Hebrew chant, sung alternately by
male and femnle chorus in unison.
. The plea of "Obadiali, "Ye People
Rend Your Hearts," immediately fol
lowed by the tenor aria, "If With All
Your Hearts," was splendidly sung by
Mr. Steele, as was the double quartet,
"For He Shall Give His Angels." in
which Mrs. Cox, Miss Mlddaugh, Mr.
Allen and Mrs. Hartman assisted.
The scene between "The Widow"
and "Elijah" brought into prominence
the beautiful dramatic power of Miss
Stoddart's voice. The next scene in
which "Elijah." before "Aliab," chal
lenges the priests of Baal to "See
Whose God Is Bord;" the challenge In
vigorous recitative, followed by the
rugged paganistlc double chorus. "Baal,
We Cry to Thee," interrupted with
taunting recitatives of "Elijah to "Call
Him Louder," marked the most dra
matic work of the evening. Mr. Stan
ley sang well the dignified prayer,
"Bord, God of Abraham." The moment
of quiet before thew fire dscends to
consume the offering was given In the
spjlendidly suns chorale, "Cast Thy
Burden Upon the Lord." Again in "The
Fire Descends From Heaven." accom
panied by imitative music, the chorus
in its work was remarkable. In the
aria, "Is Not His Word Bike a Fire,"
Mr. Stanley was a bit uncertain and
did not give the piece the dramatic in
terpretation which it demands. The
first part cuoses with the rain descend
ing and the praise of the people in
"Thanks Be to God." In this last part
Hugh Wall, boy soprano soloist of St.
Stephen's, beautifully sang the part of
the youth.
Sffonil I'art
The second part opens with the so
prano solo, "Hear Ye Israel," in which
Miss Stoddart was heard at her best,
for in both this and the aria, "I Am
He That Comforteth," with trumpet
obligate, she beautifully Interpreted
the selections. At this point the ora
torio was cut again and resumed in
"Elijah's" aria, "It Is Enough." It is
hard to conceive anything more grant!
or pathetic than this aria, In which the
prophet prays for fleath, and it was In
this aria that Mr. Stanley did his best
work. "Bift Thine Eyes," In which
Mrs. Harris assisted, was one of the
loveliest melodies of the oratorio, and
without accompaniment, was splendidly
renderetl "Behold the Bord," Intro
duced with sudden strength, and with
equal Suddenness dropping to a pianis
simo, wAu splendidly treated by th%
| chorus, and leads Into the "Holy Is God,
the Bord." a female quartet, Iri which
Dr. Deeter and Mrs. Hnrris assisted,
with chorus accompaniment. Mr. Steele
beautifully sang the "Then Shall the
Bisrhteons Shine Forth,"'which lead In
ito the qwartet, "O Come Everyone That

Profit and the
One -price System
The application of the one-price system In the marketing
of pianos invariably results in profit to the purchaser. Be
tween it and the methods of primitive barter, like gypsies
wrangling over a house; there is no comparison.
Where each buyer pays the same price, he is certain of
a square deal. He gets the highest grade goods, and gen
. erally the net prices are lower than the prices ultimately
agreed upon with the merchants who use a sliding sched
ule. One buyer gets no undue advantage over another.
None must pay an exorbitant price in order to compensate
a dealer for a sacrifice he made elsewhere. Further, the
onerprice plan insures your getting value received for every
dollar you spend; If you buy on the "any-old-price" plan
you never know whether you have bargained for the right
price.
This is the only One Price house in Central Pennsylvania.
It is easy to buy your piano here. You could send your
child to do it; in fact children have done
it here. We have the finest line of instruments
under one roof anywhere in the United States. Inspect
them any time. Play them. Let our salesmen demonstrate
them. It will be a pleasure to us and to you.

Thirsteth." Following was the mas
sive fugue for the chorus, "And Then
Shall Your Light Break Forth," which
closes this great masterpiece.
The work of the Symphony Orches
tra was admirable, always subject to
the command of Mr. Wolle, and gave
great strength and support to the
j chorus. Of the soloists, It may be said
I without detracting from the work of
the other artists, that Miss Stoddard
and Miss Macrae were enjoyed most
Mr. Steele beautifully sang the tenor
arias, but Mr. Stanley showed a slight
tendency to sing off key, and once or
twice did not appear to be thoroughly
i acquainted with the work. As was
previously remarked, tho highest praise
I alone Is due Mr. Wolle for the splendid
work of the chorus, and to the chorus
Itself for the painstaking effort Iv
I manifested to reach the high require
ments of director and composer.

ST. FRANCIS SHOW
PROVES BIG SUCCESS
Vaudeville and Minstrels Meet With
Approval of Large Audience;
Repeat Bill Tonight
Before an audience which fairly
taxed the capacity of the basement
hall of St. Francis' Church, Market
street near Fifteenth, the third an
nual vaudeville-minstrel entertain
ment was presented last evening. It
is seldom that a better collection ot'
amateur talent is seen on one pro
gram and the applause which greeted
each number insured the participants
in the show that their efforts were
appreciated.
i Tl. • most pleasing number on the
' bill, however, was "A Few Minutes ot
I Minstrelsy," In which eight men and a
I boy soprano were seen. The youngster,
I Master Gerald Moyer, who Is but J 2
years old, was Introduced as Inter
locutor and his work was among the
best. His singing was excellent and
he was forced to respond to a number
of encores, as were all of the other
soloists. Benjamin F. Glass, the bass
soloist, was In especially good voice
and sang In perfect style. The work
of the two end men, George C. Martin
and Ralph E. Schrack, was up to their
usual standard and they kept tho
audience In continuous uproar. Tho
others in the act include Harry B.
Baker, Wilson Kbersole, M. William
Kennedy, J. Thomas Keesey and How
ard C. Hitz.
Little Miss Clara Sneidman was es
pecially good in a character singing
act and John Fisher made a decided
hit with his dancing. Among tho
other numbers on the bill were cornet
solo by Master Stewart Katlewski, ac
companied by Miss Theresa Suter;
readings by the Schmidt sisters; vocal
solos by Miss Annie Fortney; musical
novelties by two young musicians,
Master Russel Winks and Baby Vera
Winks. Characters in playlet, "A
Plight," are: "The Rube," Michael
U. Barry; "Tramp," Frank J. Suter;
"Policeman," John Czernlskl.
The show will be repeated this
evening.
House Committee Plans
to Mae Country "Dry"
Washington, April IB—Present indi
cations are that the House Committer
on the judiciary will report favorably
the pending resolution proposing an
ammendment to the constitution pro
viding for nationwide prohibition of
the liquor traffic.
Much to the surprise of the leaders,
prohibition loomed up prominenti* as
an Issue to-day with the probabilities
that it will he preseted to tho Houso
at an early date. It had been as
sumed by most members that tho
prohibition amendment would be side
tracked.
