THE MORNING OliEGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 19, 1920 PAULIST CHOIR GIVES 2 FINE PR06MMMES Boys in Ensemble Appear Better Trained Than Ever. DISCIPLINE IS UNUSUAL Tenors are Sweetly Voiced and So pranos Are Delightfully Clear in Vocalism. little arrangement in new steps set to song's and gay chatter. A novel act is that of Lyndall Laurel in which Miss Laurel and two other athletic young women blend bag-punching, wrestling and boxing in a rapid array that holds constant attention and delights. The three maids wear attractive beach costumes and the scenic equipment adds to the novelty of the act. A plentiful sprinkling of comedy dialogue adds to the athletic endeavor. Frank Juhaz is a happy, snappy chap, a card sharp and trickster who sets all his display to comedy and wins a steady flow of applause. A plump "boob" who "assists" is en titled to some of the credit. A dancing pair are Henr Dressier and his dainty girl partner, Ursel Wil son. They have new steps and are amazingly rapid. A series of pictures. Current Occurence depicting the life of a flat-iron, a seaside comedy with bathing nymphs and a thrilling episode in a serial add to the interest SEATTLE DELEGATES FAVDR THIRD PARTY Branch of Committee of 48 Votes for Ticket. DR. ROBERG MAY RESIGN BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. Sometimes with faint murmurs of vocalism like the twittering of birds in the deep wood; swelling with organ-like diapasons into cresendoes of power; then, with crashing thunder as visioned in a storm at sea. Such are changing moments in two finely rendered programmes of the Paulist choir of New York city. Father William J. Finn, conductor, end heard yesterday afternoon and laet night, before large and deeply Impressed audiences at the public auditorium. Portland is no stranger to these concerts of the Paulist choir, formerly of Chicago and now of New York city. The choir last was neard in concert In the public auditorium, this city, in early June, 1918. But, the Paulist choir of 1920 has been reorganized since then. Some of the singers who fans here in 1918 still sing in it today.. The great body of the choir consists of new singers, because boys voices by a natural law change about the time they are 14 or 15 years of age, and pass into counter tenor, or the singers stop singing until they emerge as tenors or baritones. The 1920 Paulist choir is now better trained, and today it is, without doubt. one of the most finely trained male voice choirs in the world. The choir discipline is unusually strict, and the boys' stage manners are a delight. The choir also is like a perfectly tuned instrument. Its sopranos are delightfully clear in vocalism. There are no altos, their places being taken by counter-tenors who passed from sopranos. The tenors are sweetly voiced, and the basso-baritones are manly and grandly strong in deep voices. Amotift the solists the chief attrac tion is the great John Finnegan, tenor soloist in the choir of St. Patrick's cathedral. New York city. He is little of itature. He has a lyric tenor voice of fine, sparkling, even quality, of luscious delight. His diction is to be highly commended. His chief solo at the matinee concert was one in Italian, "Uno Fortiva Lagoima" (Leoncavello), and he made such a hit with the audience that he had to sing three extra numbers. "Macushla," "Mother Machree" and "The Next Market Day." Mr. Finnegan is one of the foremost lyric tenors in America today. Master Billy Probst, boy soprano, has an excellent voice which has been finely and carefully trained. He made good in "Mattinata" (Leonca- vello) and "Songs My Mother Taught Me. Masters Frank Comtois and Thomas Huber, boy sopranos, have pleasing voices, which were heard to advantage in a Brahms "Lullaby" and "Old Black Joe," with choir accompaniment. But the big treat and surprise af ter all is the lovely and inspired en semble unaccompanied singing of the massed -choir, and especially that of the wonderful boy sopranos. Their principal choruses heard were the glorious Palestrlna music of the six teenth century, the "Emitte Spiritum Tuum," the Rachmaninoff, "Praise Ye the Lord." and the Ward Stephens', "Christ in Flanders." One special feature of the concerts is that the boy sopranos sang the long programmes from memory, while often the men singers sang from mu sic scores. Father Finn directed with consum mate, artistic ability. The concerts are quite a feather in Portland's cap being managed along with 44 other concerts en route by the Western Musical bureau, this city concerts from Winnipeg, Canada, to southern California. The main feature of last night's concert, apart from the splendidly sung tenor solos of Mr. Finnigan consisted of the near-sensational en semble singing of the purple-and-white clad choir, and especially that of the soprano boys who reached the peak of vocal excellence. The best chorus work was noted in the awe inspiring "The Day of Judgment" by the Russian Arkhangelsky. the Bach fugue, and the Schuctky "Emitte. Mr. Finnegan won his audience last right, and got a flattering reception His silvery tenor was highly effective In legato work. His principal solo was "Rudolph's Narrative" from Puc cini s La Uoneme. His other num bers were: "Dusk and the Shadows Falling," "Molly Branigan," "You'd Better Ask Me," and "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms.' In vocal accompaniment by the boys' chorus, in the solo of "Old Black Joe," sung by Master Probst, the massed boys' voices sounded like muted violins. The two audiences yesterday are estimated to be about 2700 people. Both concerts were managed locally by the Knights of Columbus. HEALTH SECRETARY AXD CITY OFFICIALS ROW, REPORT.

It was reported that Dr. Ro berg's contemplated resignation comes as a result of his differences with city neaitn officials over the Cedars con troversy. although members of the board said he was resigning because of the inadequate salary. Dr. Roberg last night would neither deny nor confirm the report that he intended resigning. He admitted that the inadequacy of the salary paid to the secretary of the state board o health was such as to cause orre to consider such action. TIe denied, how over, that he has sumbltted his resig nation to the board. "Just say I was non-committal," was the only statement he would make. Dr. Andrew C. Sm'th, -a member of the etate board, said he understood that Dr. Roberg would resign soon. He said the resignation, which is ex pected at any time, would be made because of the small salary. There seemed to be no doubt in his mind but that it was generally understood among members of the board that Dr. Roberg soon would sever his connec tions with the organization. He said the board had not yet considered a successor. Dr. Roberg has been secretary of the state board of health since 1915. having succeeded Dr. Calvin S. White. He is elected by the board. 2000 ELKS ENJOY PICNIC Portland and The Dalles Lodares Have Outing at Bonneville. Elkdom took possession of Bonne- yesterday when the Elk lodges At the Theaters.

Tom is an Irish gardener with a valuable house keeper named Sarah. He unpacks an antique vase for a professor of Egyp tologlcalism and the results are dis astrous. A fairy from Cleo's land appears and makes things hum for the rest of a very amusing act.
