CHORAL CONCERT CHARMS AUDIENCE Wednesday Club \>hows That Much Latent Talent Is Be ing Developed War unU rumors of war lulled into the background lust night before the charm and beauty of the choral con cert of the Wednesday Club In Fahnestock hall in the Y. M. C. A. There was a great variety in the style of music offered, the program Includ ing vocal, violin, flute, pianf, violon cello and harp. The Wednesday Club chorus, formed into their regular placement according tn vocal pitch, were under the cap able control of their director, Miss Ruth S. Conkling. In their llrst selec tion, "Night" (opus 1 H-Saint-Sacns), Mrs. William K. Uumbuugli curried the soprano solo to which the flute obligato of Mr. lOric Kvuna added a most delightful touch in imitation of the trill of the nightingale. The ever popular waltz song from "Faust," Mrs. Bunibaugh and Miss Belle Midilaugh, soloists, rose and fell with its rich full swing carried along with perfect rythm by several dozen voices. "Spring's Awakening" (Emanuel Rach) was urranged as a trio for vio lin, violoncello and piano and was played with splendid unison and sym pathy by the I-emer-Kennedy trio, in cluding Miss Sara Lemer, Miss Ken nedy and Miss Margaretta Kennedy. An innovation was a solo selection by Miss Vaughn, the young harpist whose popularity has been growing with such leaps and hounds. Her "Macurka" (opus 12-Schueeker) was so appreciated by the audience that the hearty applause brought her back for an encore. Mrs. Henry H. Rhodes' piano selec tions brought memories of the greatly gifted who have visited us of late. Not only is her interpretation marvelous but she possesses t"4jat firm, sure touch usuallv credited to the sterner sex. In three choral transcriptions, "The Walnut Tree" and "The Lotus Flower" by Schumann (former arranged with violin and harp accompaniment) and "The Bridegroom" by Brahms were demonstrations or the infinite practice and pains taken by the chorus to pro duce such pleasing r.esults in ensemble singing. The beautiful bouquet of flowers passed over the footlights to Miss Conkling was the mute testimony of Harrisburg's appreciation of her leadership. The piano accompaniments were beautifully played by Mrs. Bent L. Weaver, Mrs. Rhodes assisting. What was probably the most enjoy able number of an unusually line x>ro gram was the arrangement of the 137 th Psalm by Liszt given by the club chorus, Mrs. Roy Or. Cox, soloist, and with the accompaniment of violin, harp and two pianos. The pleading pathos in the words, "We wept—when we remembered Zion" changed to su perb dignity in the great united cry, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem." Schubert's "The Omnipotence," was the closing number and a fitting finale indeed in its majestic beauty to a mu sical evening of which the Wednes day Club can be justly proud. —ANNA HAMILTON WOOD.
