Too much: praise cannot be given the members of the chorus for their faithfdl attendance at rehearsals and the study and effort that has been put upon the work under the splendid lead- ership of Director Edward F. Laubin, | which will justify itself on June 1 by the credit that is sure to come to the - ¢éhorus, to those who have so gener- ously given their time and effort to its management and to the city which hag encouraged and supported the society and which is so justly proud of it3 work. It is fitting in recognition of the #pirit of the times that the work to be given. iz by an American composer, based upon a poem by the best loved American author and has for its pioral the triumph of right over might.

It spe.ks well for the enterprise of t'\a New Britain Choral society that Me. Karl's first a~~-~ranc~ in Connecticut should be in New Britain. The main work of the evening is a cantata, “King Qlaf” from the “Saga / 5 ARTHUR MIDDLETON * Baritone of King Olaf,” by Henry W. Longfel- low, set to music for mixed voices, | soprano baritone and tenor soloists | and orchestra by the well American compoeer, Carl Busch, lead-« er of the Kansas City Symphony or- |" chestra.
