TIIK OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREOOX TUESDAY MORN'INO. AUdlTsT 2!. 1UJ0 1 SALEM FOLK VILL GREET BOY CHORUS Famous Forty-four from Seattle Appears Here Wednesday Night GOOD PROGRAM GIVEN Salem Included in Itinerary as Lads Return from Jaunt to Mexico The Whitney Roys' chorus of Seattle, representing the largest boys chorus In the world, will Hire oneert in the armory at 2 o'clock Wednesday this week. .'Forty-four of the best singers of the entire chorus, which. has numbered over 4000, boys In the last five years, have been select ed to make a tour of the coast! this summer and are now return ing from Mexico: The boys have been entertained In homes throughout the trip and have ' Iieen welcomed to the Tartans cities where they have sung by almost every form of organiza tion of any size on the coast. i Of course manv bo wh wait ed to go had to be left Ja Seattle, but the lucky 44 are having time of their lives. The boys get 50 cents a week as spending rfioney while 1 ihe group has been depending on collections or ad missions td the concerts to core the heavy expense of transporta-f lion, etc.- The boys have kept in excellent health'and all have been able to sinjt a( the concerts ex . -v ! 1 ' ri I I I LARRY SEMON ; and.

Whitney Is In personal charge of the trip. He is not yet 0 yea is old but has probably met more boys in Am erica than any other one man ne naraiy ever forgets a same. and takes a great personal inter est In all of his boys Owing to his method of directing a large group of singers. Dr. Whitney has been referred to as a combi nation of Hilly Sunday and Sousa Such waa the Impression made by the boys in Sacramento that a vigorous effort is being made to get Mr. "Whitney to organize a boy's chorus there this next winter. Such a course will be vigorously protested by the boy of Seattle. Mr. Whitney claims that it "Is easier to keep a boy right than to get him , right after he has gone wrong." And alwj that a. "right-thinking boy can have more influence for good among- other boys than 10 preachers." It is tberefor rth the intention of in tiring riefct living among boys that the present trip has been un dertaken." 7 The boys present a varied program, consisting of ln- rtrumentai and vocal solos, duets, quartets and wonderful chornses, as well as an oration by a 14-year-cld boy. The boys are unassisted by adult singers, carrying all four parts of music In the chorus work. i -. llicnomena.1 Singing Heard. Master Leon Mundy. 13 years old. is tbe soprano soloist. , His voice is of the lyric quality with a range which enables him to sins' F above high C, or one oc-l tare above the treble staff. His notes are bird-like in quality and his. enunciation and expression are away beyond his years. He is a bov In the fullest sense of Uhe word, with a boy's likes and i emotions and a boy's ways, yet 1 be is a boy with a soul which seems to open when he sings, en abling him to sway his audience's feelings as the wind sways an autumn !eaf. I Rex.Parrott Is the pipe organ ist, but he also has exceptional ability on the piano, which will be used .Vtedneday night at the armory. He has a most phenom enal ear for music that which is called the perfect bitch." He can tarn Lis back to the keyboard allowing any one to strike three notes simultaneously, and will name them accurately. gardlesa of whether they are chords or dlschords. ! ' Edward Carey, the 13-y car-old cornetist, develops his notes like a professional. Triple tongueing is but one of his strong points. As a bass soloist Floyd Murphy, only 17 years old. is second to no boy who has ever been in the .chorus. Many peorle have said that he has no eqnal asa boy bass in America. His voice reaches D flat, and his breath control is remarkable. As one of the older boys, Floyd has been acting as a leader of the "bunch" during the trip. Boy Write Orations. Perhaps the most nnusual feat ure of the program for Wednes day night will be tbe oration by Claude, Lorraine, who is consid- : rrti-vfl i fci:i"-$A , jb i y i . i r- ill , Map of the National Park to Park Hignway. the longest continuous scenle motor way in the world, traversing-nine western states for a distance of 4.S00 miles and connecting twelve na tional parks and many monuments and forests. The highway was dedicated to the people or America by Stephen T. Mather, director of the National Parks Service; governors of eight atatea. and officials of the National Park to Park Highway Association and the American Automobile Association, at Denver. Other dedicatory meetings are being held in cities on the route. In s sixty day official tour. Congress will be asked to consider, appropriations for converting this highway into a hard-surfaced boulevard, and for autflcient appropriations to adequately exploit and de velop the scenic wonders in the playgrounds of tbe nation. . ered by ixperts as one ot the best bey orators in the United States. All of Claude's orations are or Ms own composition. He not only has the ability to compose but also has the oratorical de livery. '" He captivates and holds bis audiences spellbound. While he is only 14 years old. he has had many unusual advantages. and Is a genius with a future. I The mil details as to the en hetertainment of the boys while in re-feBam hi tint ttn lfwiriw1 but many organisations will be asked to co-operate with the Scouts and the Y. M. C. A. in handling the event. . As the chorus is under heavy expense It has been de cided to ask the people to pay fjO-cent admission, with 25 cents for children under 16. As the boys are back in their expense, it is hoped that Salem will give them a good boost. Any boy or girl who sells five tickets will be admitted free. Tickets may be obtained at Scout headquarters the Y. M. C.

A reduteion 'of 10 centa a ton un der the regular rate Is requested. The O. W. R. & N. Company has already granted the reduction.
