It is only when Dinah meets u romantic foreign playwright who encourages her to believe that she is wasting her time in musicals and instead should be modeling her career on that of Sarah Bernhardt that a rift occurs in what had been a happy-go-lucky marital set-up. The undaunted Josh, however, is not without his own resources and before the picture’s gala climax he ras convinced his erring wife that 1er place is not only beside her hus- band but in the realm of musical comedy rather than the so-called aigher arts. (ROWD ATIENDS EASTER 'MESSIAH' ONPALM SUNDAY Jane McMullin Directs Ju- neau Singers-Charlofte Elkins Accompanies In the same spirit of devotion jiven by the Community Chorus to performance of Christmas parts of “The Messiah,” the permanent choral group, now named the Ju- neau Singers, yesterday sang the Zaster portions in true reverence. These lesser-known excerpts from he sacred oratorio by George Fred- srick Handel are equally beautiful and moving. This section is perhaps 2ven more dramatic, as it rises from he themes of grief and sorrow in ninor keys to the hope and joy ot Easter that transcends human ieath. Again, gifted Jane McMullin di- rected the 50-voice chorus with superb musicianship, and preserved he reverent mood by dignified stag- ng and a minimum of movement 9y the robe-clad choristers. Part of this quality is achieved by the “group” feeling of the entire perinrmance—no person, even the director, taking a more prominent part than necessary. Mrs. McMullin, nowever, must accept tribute for these outstanding concerts she has directed. Likewise, special credit goes to Charlotte Elkins, who substituted as accompanist on a few days’ notice and accompanied all chorus and solo numbers, besides playing the overture and the offertory music, “Pastoral Symphony.” New Piano Played She was the first Juneau pianist to play the new Baldwin concert grand community piano on an all- local program. The big ebony in- strument was used with the lid up, as for piano concert performance, giving unmuffled musical depth and rich tonal quality. Juneauites again proved their ap- preciation of fine music, whether ziven by visitors or local artists. De- spite the obvious attractions of a fine spring afternoon, an estimated 750 persons nicely filled the 20th Century Theatre for the Palm Sun- day concert. Many were children, youngsters who are hearing the world’s most famous music as they grow up. Six Soloists Heard Six popular Juneau singers were the soloists, handling well the characteristically difficult intervals and long-breathed phrases. Under Jane McMullin’s coaching, the musiz THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE--JUNEAU, ALASKA was sharp in attack and clean in phrase-endings. Both individually and as a group, the singers gave Handel's typical fast-repeated syl- lables skillfully. Midred Lister's alto air early in the program was probably the most trying, coming without vocal “warm- up” and having a slow, lyrical qual- ity and difficult intervals. She gave #t a smooth, controlled perform- ance. Similar in style was Ernest Ehler’s tenor recitative and air, a later duet being in brighter style. This he gave with Lois Reedy, also. To- gether they gave fine performance to one of the few familiar numbers, “O Death, Where is Thy Sting?” Even more familiar was “T Know | That My Redeemer Liveth,” which Soprano Marye Berne Ehler sang with beauty and power, in the sweep of Handel's inspiration. Frances Paul's two soprano solos were clear and lyrical, with good enunciation and sure pitch, soaring to very high tones. Harold Salisbury’s dramatic bass voice surely has the timbre which Handel heard mentally, as it fitted his recitative and air like a glove. Of the familiar choruses, “Lift Up Your Heads, O Ye Gates,” a true hymn of rejoicing, was given stir- ring perfosmance. Let there be a multitude of voices—100 instead of 50—next time it is heard here! “Hallelujah” Chorus Sung Responding to numerous requests that it be repeated, the masterful “Hallelujah” chorus was substi- tuted as the finale instead of the| “Amen” chorus, listeners rising with the opening notes as has every audience since its first thrilling per- formance. Before the mid-concert offertory, Dr. C. Earl Albrecht of the chorus spoke briefly, saying the Juneau Singers hope to make the Easter “Messiah” concert an annual event. “Let us make the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus one of real rejoicing, by supporting the Singers in practical manner,”; he added. Except for the maroon robes of the principals and the black one| of the choristers, spring shades were in evidence. Daffodils deco- rated the stage and the programs were of daffodil-yellow. Rainbow @Girls who ushered were as pretty and fresh-looking as the golden daf- fodils, wearing bouffant formal frocks in pastel flower shades. Rainbow Girls Usher These ushers, who also took up the offering, were Donna Jewett, Beverly Powers, Karen Jones,| Lorene Schmitz, Natalie Dapcevich, | Jeennie Smith, Mary Pinkley, Mari- lyn Crooks, Donna Mountjoy, Ann Haugen, Roseileen Hyckenbothem and Carol Lawrence. Program acknowledgements were to “cooperating business men of Juneau,” and to churches of the community for loan of the robes.
