Market Square SOCIAL AND PER SPLENDID REHEARSAL OF IDE CHORAL SOCIETY Two Hundred and Six Members At tended Last Night's Practice—Dr. J. Fred Wolle. Director, Very Much Pleased With the Work The largest attendance and the best Tehearsal of the Choral Society this year wa» held in Fahnestock hall last right. Two hundred and six members were in their seats by 8 o'clock and the rehearsal continued until 10.15. Every number in Handel's "Samson," the work which the Society is studying, was rehearsed and special attention was given to shading and attacks. The •Society now knows the work by heart so that the remaining rehearsals will lie given over to finishing touches and polishing. All the parts are well bal anced and especially strong. Dr. Wolle, the Society's conductor, instilled much enthusiasm into ttae members. As each chorus was sung better than the Society had sung it be fore, Dr. Wolle would enthusiastically cry out "Fine, members, fine; now sec if you can do the next number' as well." This kept the members con stantly on the alert during the entire rehearsal and all were at their best! Grip colds which had affected a number of members during the winter were forgotten and all were enthusi astic and earnest in their - work. The members of the Society are de lighted with Handel's "Samson." It is a work of much harmony and in tensely dramatic. The striking contract between solos and tremenduous chor uses make the work most attractive to both the singer and the hearer, and it is certain that the audience will be charmed with this Oratorio, which has never been rendered in Harrisburg. The sustaining and honorary mem hers tickets were mailed to-day. Many inquiries have already been made rela tive to the concerts and all indications fKiinl to crowded houses at the Ma jestic Theatre on Thursday, April 29. The afternoon concert will begin at 3 o'clock and the evening cohcert at » 8.15. Dr. Woile predicts that this year's concert will be better than last which was his first year with the So ciety. At the rehearsal last night J)r. Decevee told of his trip to Philadel phia with the loving cup to Dr. W. W. Gilchrist and of how thankful and how appreciative Dr. Gilchrist and his family were for the magnificent re membrance of the Choral Societv.
