FINE MUSIC HEARD Trinity Episcopal Church Has Impressive Service. WESTMINSTER SPIRIT GOOD First Presbyterian Congregation Bias Elaborate Programnie and Notable Rendition Also Is at St. Mary's Cathedral. All the sopranos, contraltos, tenors and bassos, choirmasters and organists worked overtime, surely, in getting up the music feast yesterday, for the Easter music heard at the different churches was in every way fitted to the proper observance of the great church festival. Considering that the war has stopped large supplies of new music from the countries of Britain, Germany, France, etc, it is fortunate that yesterday's programme of sacred music included so many new meritorious compositions, seeing that the source of selection was so limited this year. Naturally, the music beard was bright, cheerful and inspiring. At Trinity Episcopal Church the ob servance of holy communion at 7 A. M. was choral, the service being by Cruickshank in E flat. The service of the morning prayer was more elabo rate musically, the anthem. Bartlett's Christ, our Passover" and Stainer's Te Deum in B Flat," being impres sively sung. The vested choir, di rected by Dr. A. A. Morrison, the rector, sang finely, and Lucien E. Becker, or ganist, played well. At Westminster Presbyterian Church the musical programme, selected by J. R. Hutchison, was sung with fine devotional spirit by Mrs. Pauline Mil ler Chapman, Miss Beatrice Palmer, Fred S. Pierce and Ira G. King. ' The principal anthem, "King All Glorious," by Barnaby, was sung in fine style, and so was the 150th psalm, "Oh, Praise God in His Holiness." Mr. Hutchison's organ accompaniments were superb. At the First Presbyterian Church the music programme was elaborate. Sev eral quartets were sung to orchestral accompaniment. Chief among the vo cal numbers by the quartet was Stew art's "Welcome, Happy Morning," which was rendered in inspiring fash ion. Last night the music programme was more lengthy and included the anthems, "The King of Love My Sh. -herd Is," :.y Gounod, and '"The Choir Angelic" (Hanscom). The organ solos by Edgar E. Coursen were nv ch ap preciated. The vocal numbers were by Mrs. Leah Slusser Hathaway, Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller, Warren E. Irwin and John Claire Monteith. William Bittle Wells led the orchestra- Chief among the ornate elaborate programmes was that heard at St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral, directed by Frederick V. Goodrich. The soloists and chorus choir sang in first-class. impressive style. The principal music service was at the solemn pontifical mass, when numbers were sung from the compositions of Hamraa, Monestel, etc. Miss Alice Genevieve Smith was harpist, and played with spler.cid ef fect. Other Easter church "services- noted for choral excellence were those at the White Temple, First Christian, First Congregational, First . eth list. First Unitarian and other churches. FINE GUITARIST HEARD MUSICAL SHERMAN DTJO REGIS TERS INSTANTANEOUS HIT. New Trio Wins Laurels) and Harmony Mixers) Are Recalled Frequently. Prather and Simon Please. Sherman, the masculine half of the Musical Sherman Duo, is a wonder worker on the steel guitar, and in the new bill at the Strand Theater yester day did stunts with it that would have made a native of Honolulu look like 30 cents. Lots of things can be done with this peculiar whimpering style of muslo besides "Aloha Oe and other sad. sentimental moonlight songs, and Sher man does 'em one after another, amid increasing enthusiasm on the part of his audience. Imitations that one would never be lieve could be got except with a violin or a phonograph, he coaxes out of his charmed strings, and he ends up with a patrol, including fife and drum, which sets his audiences wild with en thusiasm.
