MARRIED LIFE UNPLEASANT Alter Shooting, Jtrs. Poch, Says That if Son Had Xot Killed Poch She Would Have Done So. Testimony All In. ALARQB attendance and pronounced musical success marked the last concert of the seaaon given last night at the White Temple by the Portland Oratorio Society; J. A- Fin ley, conductor. The chorus numbered about 60 voices, and sang- with enthu siasm and fine precision and attack. The soloists were Mrs. Elfrleda Heller Weinstein, soprano; Richard Robert son, tenor, and John Claire Montelth, baritone, with Lowell Patton, organist and piano accompanist, and Miss Car- mel Sullivan, harpist. The choral programme consisted or oratorio, operatic and glee selections. and its diversity and value were both interesting features. Mrs. Weinstein was in fine voice and in the arid from Wolf Ferrari's "Jewels of the Madon na" her vocaliBm was splendid. She sang with a finished ease and good voice control that more than pleased her hearers. She was loudly encored In her rendition of the Bach Gounod 'Ave Maria," with iarp obligato by Miss Sullivan. Mrs. Weinstein sang with impressive half voice or mezzo- voce effect, and so finished was her rendition of this favorite number that the audience insisted on its repetition. This was sung with the same success. Mr. Montelth was heard in a group of songs not universally-known in this section. Gypsy songs written by Lohr songs of sterling mu sical value. but somber mo tif and soul. They are "Wind on the Heath." "Mother Dear," "Where My Caravan lias Rested" and yhe Magpie Is a Qypsy Bird." and each song is a gem in Itself. The moods vary widely and were cleverly sung by Mr. Mon telth, who waa in excellent voice. For his encores he sang "The Birth of the Morn"- (Leon!) and "Guard While I Sleep" (Warrington). Mr. Robertson sang with a clarity and purity of tone that made a most favorable impression. In the choruses, the rendition of Gounod's "Unfold Ye Portals" was the best.
