HARVARD GLEE CLUB i WINS HIGH ACCLAIM Choral Singirg Nearly Perfect Un- der Direction of Dr. Davison in Masonic Auditorium. An evening of almost perfect choral singing was given last night fu the Masonic Auditorium by the Harvard Glee Club, under the direc- tion of Dr. Archibald T, Davison, in a well balanced and difficult program with all the accuracy and technical excellence that might be expected of a professional body. Dr. Davison is to be highly com- mended upon the finish that he has developed in the work of his singers. Their attacks were precise and their shadings uniform, their pianissimos smooth and their fortes strong and powerful. The tone of the club is rich and well rounded, though seem- ing to lack a little powes in the bass. The one thing above all others that lends to success in chorus work these singers possess in abundance, namely, enthusiasm. Each one seemed to put his whole heart and soul into his work, and this could not help but n a responsive chord in the s that met with the from “The ed his good judgment in repeating these numbers when the audien ! to sing the at a tempo so ith the words before one llow them, while Door, arting fairly Sidiy; BRIIE up 1o & stUREERIo 1D an even more rapid finish than the othei Artistically, “After Many a Dusty | Mile,” of Elgar, the British composer, .
