“Y”, Course Program
A variety of selections ranging ftom
scenes from Grand” and Light Operas
to modern - popular songs was tho offer
ing of the 'Mary Adel Hays Opera
.Singers In the Auditorium last Satur
day evening as the fourth number of
the Y. M -C A and Department of
Music's Entertainment ’ Course for this
winter '
Through a misunderstanding as to
the Intricacies of reaching Penn. State
from Bollofontc, the concert was lute
- in sotting started and the first number
on the program, a scene from Act-2
of the opera ••Martha", was, not as
well done as some of the latter, num
bers Throughout the evening’s en
tertainment, the artists - were, as a
whole, much more successful in their
solo and ballad numbers than they
were in the heavier operatic pieces and
' showed that their voices were bettor
adapted to the lighter work than to
tho grand opera scenes
Miss Katharine Richards, contralto,
a‘nd Mr Claude Schell, tenor, were at
'their best In tho scene from "II Tro
vfttoro" and showed a tine dramatic
sense in their- Interpretation bliss
Richards has a. good contralto -voice
and the support which she received
from Mr. Schell made this number ono
of the most successful on tho program
Mr Schell then sang '‘Duna" as tho
seventh number of the program, and
his sympathetic tenor combined with
the fine quality of feeling which he
put into his work won his audience at
once As an encore, Mr Schell sang
"love Sends a Little" Gift of Roses"
that was equally well "received
