3crescendo, diminuendo—all controlled, all flowed from the tip of the director's baton with unerring precision, either for the finer nuances of the solo or the great full-volumed choral phrases. There was a mellow rounded perfection of utterance, a precision and a verve of attack characterizing the great performance throughout the evening."
5The soloists were Mrs. K. Weller Daniels, soprano; Mrs. Clarence Dow, contralto; J. Henry Welton, tenor, and Frederic Roehr, basso. They were all infinitely suited to their parts and gave their various selections with beauty of voice and sincerity of purpose. Oscar Erpenstein was the accompanist. K. Weller Daniels deserves special praise for the success of the event. The Lodi News said of him: "K. Weller Daniels, the manager, merits credit in connection with the concert, for when he was elected to office last spring his first thought was to increase the chorus membership and then arrange an orchestra of whatever size available good players would make. He met with some obstacles, but not so great but that they were overcome readily and his efforts were rewarded by the fine harmonies and melodies prevalent during the whole concert."
7Last year the Oratorio Society sang the Messiah with fifty-one Lodi people, augmented by thirty-five singers from a college nearby. When Mr. Daniels was elected manager he increased the society to 100 voices, but it kept on growing until when the first concert of the Messiah was given this season, 160 Lodiens, the capacity of the stage, participated in the chorus without assistance except for the soloists and a few orchestra players from the college. Instead of two pianos, or one piano and an organ as was used last year for accompaniment, out of local talent a thirty-four piece symphony orchestra was organized. The society is now on a self supporting basis.
9Florence Macbeth's Heavy Season
11Just completing a long and arduous concert tour, extending from the Gulf to the Northwestern States, Florence Macbeth has again rejoined the Chicago Civic Opera Company for her annual appearances in some of the roles with which her name has become associated.
13Miss Macbeth's opening performance in La Sonnambula was one of the outstanding events of the Chicago season. The critics were unanimous in their praise of her exquisite singing and fine acting. In addition, there will be the usual Rosinas, Gildas and Lucias, and they will have to be crowded into a short space of time for the popular soprano has an unusually heavy concert list which must have its modicum of time and must be taken up immediately after the turn of the year.
15Miss Macbeth's concert clientele is by no means confined to the Middle West where by her fine operatic achievements she has earned so much fame, for after a series of concerts in South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan, she wings her way to the Sunny South through Texas and Alabama to Florida, stopping off at among other cities, Houston, Dallas, Dennison and Mobile before appearances at Miami, St. Petersburg, Lakeland and Tallahassee.
17Owing to the heavy demand throughout the country, Miss Macbeth is not scheduled to give any recital in New York this season, so that her appearance at Brooklyn with the Philomela Club in April will be the only opportunity Gotham's music lovers will have to hear her.
19Dilling Wins President's Smile
21A notable gathering was present at the White House on December 2 when Mildred Dilling appeared in joint recital with Reinald Werrenrath. Most notable among those present was President Coolidge, who showed his appreciation of Miss Dilling's art by favoring her with his rare smile. Of the artist's selections the President particularly enjoyed Renie's Contemplation, The Fountain by Zabel, and a French folk song, Le bon petit roi d'Yvetot. These were also the favorites of General Pershing, who greeted Miss Dilling enthusiastically, not only for her charming performance but also for her work as an A.E.F. Girl.

27Crooks' Program "Unhackneyed"
29"Richard Crooks offered a program of rare musical value and one which showed his vocal resources to the best advantage. His German group was refreshingly unhackneyed."
