There wiil be a special program with Dr. Parker’s address as the main featur The reformatory bill is receiving much attention throughout the state, especially after the reference to such an institution by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb in his inaugural message. The state-wide educational campaign under the direction of Dr. Parker has received much attention locally. Among those who have announced their approval of such an institution and their belief that it is needed are Benator George W. Klett and Chief of Police William J. Rawlings. Dr. Parker is well known in this city, having spoken here on several nccasions. She was one of the lead- Ing advocates of the reformatory bill at the last legislative hearings. Sev- eral tentative dates have been ar- ranged for her appearance in this city during the next few weeks. The annual meeting of the National Spring Bed company will be held Fri- (Written for The Herald by Thos. E. Couch). An important event in the musical life of this city took place Wednes- day evening when the New Britain Choral society gave its first concert of the season at Russwin lyceum, un- der the direction of its conductor Ed- ward F. Laubin. There was a large and appreciative audience present, which included music lovers from Hartford and surrounding towns; while every seat in the theater was sold several days before the concert. The soloists of the evening were Betsy Lane Shepherd, soprano and Robert Maitland, baritone, both of New York city, Mr. Maitland having been substituted at a late hour for Arthur Middleton of the Metropol- itan Opera Co., who was unable to appear on account of illness.” The program was as follows: “Dream King and His Love”..Parker Songs—a. “Myself When Young”. ceene Liza Lehmann b. “Ethiopia Saluting the Colors" Burleigh Schumann “Die Beiden Grenadiere”.... Schumann d. Mr. Maitland “The Night Has A Thousand Eyes’ Qeee ‘Woodman “Barcarolle” (Tales of Hoffman).. Offenbach Ladies’ Chorus Songs—a. “Oh, Sleep! Why Dost Thou Leave Me" ...Handel “A Summer’s Day”..Signe Lund “I Love” Signe Lund “The Snake Charmer” Liza Lehmann Mme. Shepherd ‘Watching Over Israel” (Bljah) ........ Mendelssohn Chorus Songs—a. “The Dark Wood”...Lully b. “Leezie Lindsay”....Old Scotch c. “The Friar of Orders Grey”.. . Old English (Thannhauser) Wagner c. b. d. "He, d. “Star of Eve Maitland “Fair Ellen” Max Bruch Chorus and Soloists Songs—a. Das Herzensschlueslein” Mischa Elman Max Reger ..Chausson ....Hue b. “Waldeinsarlakei c. “Les Pappillons” J d. “L'Ane Blanc” ..... ¥, Mme, Shepherd “ft is Enough” (Eljah).... Mendelssohn Mr. Maitland “Song of the Vikings”........Faning Chorus. The work of the chorus was of a high order. Mr. Laubin had his chorus at all times under excellent control; the attacks and releases of each phrase being exceptionally good. “The Night has a Thousand Eyes” and the familiar “Barcarolle” from tales of Hoffman, sung by the ladies’ chorus is especially worthy of com- ment; the tone quality being fine, the shadowing good and the balance very even. In the concerted num- bers by the full chorus the final num- ber the “Song of the Vikings” made a particularly fine impression upon the audience, being rendered with a great deal of dash and spirit. Th(‘i two short worke “Dream-King” and His Love” by Horatio W. Parker and | “Fair Ellen” by Max Bruch were well rendered. Mr. Laukin is to be con- gratulated for the results obtained by his chorus in this season’s first con- cert. Mme. Shepherd won her audienmce at once by her gracious and’ charm- | ing stage presence and pleasing ren- i dition of her songs. After her first group she responded with the encore “To a Messenger” by Frank LaForge. The audience was so enthusiastic that she was obliged to sing this encore a second .time. Her solos in “Fair Ellen” were well rendered, her high 3 natural ringing out clear and force- ful above the chorus. After her socc- ond group she sang “Passing By” by Purcell. . Mr. Maitland was best in his dra- matic work, his interpretation being good and his enunciation excellent. After his first group of songs he add- ed as an encore the “Border Ballad” and after his second group the “Min- strel Boy.” Miss Ruth Bennett the official ac- companist for the club since its in- ception gave excellent support and played with good style and finish. Mr. ments of the soloists with artistic skill. This is the second season of the Choral Society and New Britain is to be congratulated upon an organi- zation of this kind. Music is coming to the front more and more in this country as an uplifting influence in the lives of the people, and it is ear- v desired that this city will ap- preciate the aims of this society and lend its aid and support to further the maintenance of musical art in this city. his usual P Those desiring to go to Washing- ton and attend the Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, either as delegates or alternates, must send their names to the regent of the local chapter, Mrs. Brookes, or the corresponding secretary Miss Wilbor before the February meeting, at which time the names must be rated in, in order to reach state and national officers in time for all cre- dentials to be examined.

Two classes were formed and will meet on alternate mornings from 9:30 to 12:30, each class having three lessons a week. At the end of 8 lessons each woman should be abie to form a class and teach in her turn. To quote from the report of the chairman, Mrs. Freder- ick 8. Mead of the N. E. sectlon for the year 1916. “The problem of making surgical dressings to be sterilized and shipped to Europe was found to need a dif- ferent technique from th:/a,( used ,in hospitals where sterilized|' dressings are used within a few days. The committee found that it was neces- sary to have the work suberintended by trained nurses. The committee also realized that if regular instruc- tion in the making of surgical dress- ings could be given, many = women under a i might become expert in assisting the nurses.” It is hoped that the work may be continued until May, and volunteer werkers may apply at any time to either of the following officers: Mrs. Harris B. Humason, chairman; Mrs. George S. Talcott, secretary. Contributions of money are solicit- ed for materials. Any amount large, or small may be sent to Mrs. William C.
