ovation at each appearance. The
Honolulu Advertiser, said, In part:
A packed house greeted and
applauded every number offered
last night by the Agrenava Sla
viansky Russian choir. There Is
a. captivating llthsomenesa in the
singing and the dancing of the
Russian folk that so far has es
caped all. other peoples. Out of
their hearts they , dance and sing.
Every one is borne of Innermost
feeling. Their countenances are
like the smile ot a summer morn
ing.' or like the pathoa of a misty
sunset. They are more than art;
they are the art .which nature
makes.
Their opening programme was
varied and well chosen. They
sang Ukraine folk songs sprightly
with " the wind-swept hillsides.
They sang , songs of - battle and
strife of the steppes. They sang
English songs "The End ot a Per
fect Day" and "Just a Song ot
Twilight" being the most appeal
ing. Madame Slaviansky is a
wonderful director. She- modu
lates the voices of 30 singers with
the bending of a finger. She caus
es them to swell to passionate vol
ume with the bending of an elbow.
She .lifts them to starry heights
with a gesture of hand and head.
She. sends the base to the 'deepest
depths of a nod.
"Taking It all In all, It was by
far the best musical treat that
Honolulu . has ever had and we
predict a wonderful success for
them' In their New York debut.-
