PECDED SUCCESS DRED BY CHORUS IN FRIDAY CONCERT n’s Singing Organization Again Proves Its Worth; z _-Ytreeide Makes Hit * Bismarck’s Men's chorus got hearty bunds of applause in its first appear- ce of the current season light at the city auditorium. At the same time Paul Ytreeide, oung Bismarck tenor and @ member the chorus, scored a notable suc- in his first appearance before g Bismarck audience. Singing the solo part in “Empty dies” one of the best received ces of the concert, he displayed oth richness of voice and a pleas- i personality and was brought back or an encore, Another number which was well ceived was “Rosita, in which each if the four voice ranges shone to ad- fantage. Z , Two Military Numbers =. The opening number was the Sol- diers Chorus from Faust and vied with that other great soldier chorus, “the Battle Hymn of the Republic, for he spirit with which it was rendered. The sweeping grandeur and organ tones of Sibelius’ “Dear Land of Home” as notably well adapted to the capa- - finitely that the organization can do wel} with the nobler music as well as with lighter pieces. On the whole the chorus showed marked improvement over its initial performances staged shortly after its organization a year ago. It sang with less strain and greater certainty and the improvement in its response to direction was marked. Rivals Professional Group In this respect, as well as in the quality of its tone production, it ri- valled any professional group of sing- ore. This capacity was most marked, perhaps, in the final number, an adaptation of “Lights Out” by Di- rector Ralph W. Soule. It was done with a delicacy and sweetness which were unusual in a group of men who coud hit such heights of crescendo as were displayed in some of the earlier pieces, The concert proved definitely that numbers with swing and’verve ahd those which do not require intricate timing with regard to part singing are best adapted to this organization. Timing Tests Ability It can sing with strength and aban- don and it can swing sweetly. It can produce the organlike tones which make men’s choruses an attraction to music lovers but the fact that few of the members are highly trained musicians makes it a little difficult for the group to do well with the tricky timing of such numbers as “Shortenin’ Bread” which apparently. proved for the chorus the most diffi- cult of the 10 numbers presented. Qn the whole, the group again. temonstrated “its value as a worth. while entertainment unit. The crowd tilked it because it sang what the crowd liked and, on the ‘whole, sang it su- perlatively well. Whether or not a concert is a suc- cess depends upon what the customers think. And this one was decidedly a success, : .

City merchants concentrated on the slogan “Shop Early and Avoid the Rush.” : Indications are that the volume of Christmas business in local stores will far exceed any of the past five years and the volume of mail during the holiday season is expected to increase approximately 200 per cent.

Special delivery and air mail service can be used to speed up delivery, Written matter in the nature of personal correspondence cannot be enclosed in packages sent by parcel Post.
