It was an ideal May | day, just temperate enough to make it { comfortable for the thousands ranged | upon the tiers of the theater and the | charm of it all was enhanced by the | blending of thirty voices in the beau- tiful oratorio. “Paradise and the Peri” is taken from Moore’s “Lalla Rookh” and telis the story of a peri seeking to regain admission to heaven. She offers three gifts before she finally finds one that |is “most dear to heaven,” which is the repentant tear of a sinner, wrung {from him by the prayer of an inno- cent child. The oratorio, with Moore's | words, was written in 1543 by Sehu- mann, but it has been seldom sung, though considered one of the great composer’'s masterpieces, The soloists to-day were of San | Francisco, all of them Madame von : Meyerinck’s pupils, and the chorus |was of Berkeley. The soloists were llhe following named: Miss H. C. Heath, soprano: Miss C. Decker-Cox, jalto; Mrs. M. Craig-Elrick, soprano; Miss Jessie Burns, mezzo-soprano; John Beatty, tenor; Bert Weyl, bary- tone; Arthur Voigt, tenor; Reginald Keene, bass; female quartet—NMrs. Doane Merrill, Miss Charlotte O’Brien, {Miss Olga Herman, Miss Dora Fisher; mixed quartet—Mrs. McGlade, Fisher, Mr. Gunison, Mr. Keene.
