Choir-Orchestra Joint Recital Success Small Crowd Greets Final Appearances Underwood and Evans Gain Approval By BARNEY MILLER From the opening measures of the “Mareh of the Bayards ' by Hal vorsen to the closing notes of the “March and Chorus from Tann hausor” by Wagner, the joint con cert presented by the University Symphony orchestra, under the di rection of Rex Underwood, and the University Symphonic choir, under the leadership of John Stark Evans, at McArthur court last night, was, at least fo the ears of the rather small crowd, well nigh flawless. The only criticism which might be offered is that on the final num ber “March and Chorus from Tann hauser” by Wagner which was ren dered by the orchestra and choir combined, was that the orchestra played a trifle too loudly and at times seemed to almost drown out the singing. If there were Mny other errors or discrepancies in the performance, they remained unnoticed bv the au dience, which in its enthusiasm and surprise at the superior quality of the program, was quite above pay ing attention to such details. The orchestra displayed a finish, a polish and a general interpretive skill which was quite above the ordinary. Every member seemed to be a well trained part of a machine, each part working in perfect co ordination and harmony. Thorp was | none of the raggedness of execu tion which is many times apparent in organizations of this sort. Tiie outstanding features of the symphonic choir were its delicate shading and excellence of tones and its smoothness of execution. Spe cial mention should be made of the incidental solos by Nancy Thi'elsen, Jack Dennis, Edward Fisher, and Roy Bryson. « Miss Thielsen, who sang the in cidental solo in the “Blessed Damo /.cl” by DeBussy, lias a clear, float ing voice and an ease of expression which is remarkable. Her singing was, perhaps, the most outstanding | of the four. Elward Fisher, baritone, and , Jack Dennis, tenor, carried the in tridental solo work in “The High wayman” by Taylor, which was Sling by the men’s glee club. Fish er’s voice has excellent carrying power and he sings with expression : and feeling. Dennis, while his i voice is not quite as strong as that of Fisher, has a trifle wider range. Roy Bryson, instructor in the music school and assistant conductor of the symphonic choir, sang the inci dental solo to “Waters Ripple and Flow” by Taylor. He is beyond (Continued on L’age Three} Hunt Selects Workers For Oregon Group Five of Twelve Districts Of State Arranged By Chairman Srliool’s Envoys To Help Preppers Sectional Leaders Name Assistants to Aid in Activities By JOE PIGNEY 'Workers in five of the twelve1' state districts have boon organized, mol the aimonneement. of appoint nients in other districts will he made within (lie next few days, according to Paul D.
