tain, refers to this attraction:
"lolk songs, old plantation clas
si(s, and an occasional selection from
grand opera featured the concert last
night. given at Centennial auditoriuml
by tile Meistersingers.
"'On the Sea', the opening number,
was excellently sntig and put the andi
enee in ine feeling fot the good
things to follow. 'larcarolle, from
the 'Tales of lloffman' brought rounds
of applause, being one of the strictly
classical selections of the evening.
Plantation melodies took ulp a gener
ous portion of the program. The bass,
who possesses i voice which rivals
a well for depth, sang 'Old Black .oe'
so feelingly that manty in the audience
had recourse to their handkerchiefs.
The support accorded him in the ae
companimenlt made melody that can
be described only as 'exqlisite.'
"A set of hige organ chimes and a
grand piallo constituled the instru
mental equ1liplent of the qnrit et.
Many of the songs were Sittig to
the acecompanilmenl of the chimes
played by the singers en masse."
