INTERESTING PERSONAL AND SOCIAL
AUDIENCE ENJOYS
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
Cantor Rosenblatt Delights
With His Wonderful Voice
and Rare Interpretation
To the small handful of Harris
burg music lovers sprinkled through
the seats of the Chestnut street
auditorium last night there came a
full realization of the marvelous
powers of the human voice when
Josef ' Rosenblatt. Jewish tenor, ap
peared tn recital. Seldom, If ever,
has there been so rare a musical
treat provided for the peoplo of this
city and it is to be regretted that
the opportunity was not seized by
the thousands who love real melody
and artistry.
Cantor Josef Rosenblatt is pos
sessed of a- brilliant, beautiful voice
which has won him renown in the
operatic centers of the world. Sev
eral months ago he sang here in
Kesher Israel Synagogue and the
fortunate few who heard htm were
loud in their praise of his magni
ficently beautiful voice. Despite the
fact that there wore no more than
700 hearers, the singer overcame ull
difficulties, singing across empty
seats (and this is a big task) and
sending his voice to the balconies
where a few were seated.
Sings Own Compositions
Iligh points in the program were
the singing of the cantor's own com- !
positions, two beautiful Jewish songs
which captivated his audience. Mas- j
senet's "Elegie" and Gretchanipoff's i
"Lullaby" were sympathetically pre- j
sented. The playing of his accom
panist, Stuart Ross was of a high
order, shining brightly in four solo
numbers played by the pianist. These
included the difficult "Soiree de
Vienne." "Habanera," "Country
Waltz," and Chopin's "Octave Etude
in F Major," the last being an espe- ,
daily difficult selection. The program ;
for the concert included:
"II mio bei foco," Benedetto Mar- |
"Ov Haraehmim," "Omar rabbi '
cello; "Aria, Pearl Fishers," Bizet: !
Elesor," Rosenblatt: "Elegie," Mes- j
senet; "Auf dem Pripicuk," Folk
song; "Eili Eili," arr. by Rosen- !
Matt, Cantor Rosenblatt: "Soiree de j
Vienne, Liszt: "Habanera," char
brier; "Country Waltz." Weber- :
Ross; ''Octave Etude, F No. Major," j
Chopin, Stuart Ross, pianist.
"O Columbine," Leoncavallo; j
"Questa O Quella," Verdi; "The
Eternal Lamp," Medvedieff; "Lulla- !
by," Gretchaninoff: "Good-Bye,"
Tosti, Cantor Rosenblatt.

Guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Edson J. Hockenbury
Mr. and Mrs. Edson J. Hocken
bury enter:! ined the members of tho
Rotary Club and their wives at a
venison dinner in Chestnut street
hall last evening, nearly two hun
dred guests being In attendance. It
was the ilrst affair of the kind the
club has held since the United States
went to war, the Club having elimi
nated all evening functions during
the period of the war dug to
the activity of its members in war
work and the eo-operatlon of Rotary
clubs all over the country in the ob
servance of the Federal Food Admin
istration's regulations.
The dinner was served in the
Zembo Temple dining room and the
venison was prepared by Frank Da
venport, a Rotarian expert in that
line. At the head table with Mr. and
Mrs. Hockenbury sat Air. and Airs. J.
William Bowman, Air. and Mrs. Rob
ert Hunt Lyon. Mr. and Mrs. Pres
ton Crowell. Captain and Mrs. George
F. Lumb, Air. and Airs. George S.

and Charles W. 8011, who led the
singing, and Mr. and Airs. Norris S.
Longaker. Air. Steinmetz, vice-pres
ident of the Rotary Club, presided in
the absence of Eli N. Hershey, who
was sick.
Due Whole Peer Served
It required an entire deer, of more
than 150 pounds in weight, to serve
the Rotarians. Air. Hockenbury told
the story of the hunt. He was called
to Alaine to direct the putting over
of the big United War YVprk drive
last month and after ho had seen the
state safely over the top, the third
in the union, he and his assistant
'•= pent four days hunting in the woods
:t the Forks of the Machlas camps,
situated by lakes and streams in the
forests of Aroostook county, of
which Henry Rafford is the proprie
tor. Air. Rafford has spent his whole
life in the wodds and is one of the
best guides and hunters in Maine.
Mr. Hockenbury and his companion
got four deer during their hunt, Air.
Hockenbury killing one on his way
out of the woods. It was this deer
that was served last night.
Mr. Hockenbury told of a tame
deer that spends Its days in tho Raf
ford camp and its nights in the
woods with the wild deer, returning
at the beginning of each hunting sea
son and remaining until the cabins
are closed for the winter. When he
concluded his address John H. Nixon,
in the guise of a constable from
Alaine, attempted to arrest him for
killing the aforesaid tame deer, but
was tinally bribed off by the Bull
head" members with enough money
and tobacco to keep him in bacon
and "chewing" plug for a year.
I. B. Dickinson sang several very
delightful solos and Preston Crow
ell, the Alark Twain, Jr., of the Ro
tary Club, spoke at some length on
"Hunting and Fishing With the Bull
head Club," letting out a few se
crets in a way that brought tears of
laughter to the eyes of his hearers.

entertainment committee, under
whose direction the dinner was ar
ranged, presented Mrs, Hockenbury
with a basket of liowers.

Oh he plunged right in the forest
Never did he fear;
Hocky's a mighty hunter |
