An exceptionally well balanced program was presented by the or ganisation composed of 84 Eu gene citizens, maintained as a con cert group under the patronage of the Eugen chamber of com merce.

Close to 1000 people sat silent and almost breathless as the Glee men sang the superb strains of Schubert's "Ave Marie," as ar ranged for men's voices by John Stark Evans, director of the group. The combined voices of the chorus humming with the effect of a great organ and against this inspiring background the full, sweet tenor of Don Eva and the brilliant violin accompaniment of Howard Halbert made an effect that fairly suspended thought while it was being presented. The delightful humming effects gained by Mr. Evans and his Glee men created for most of the music a soft, receptive background for the words of the songs. The pro gram moved rapidly with the au dience demanding encores for the violin offerings of Mr. Halbert and the baritone solos of George V. Bishop. All proceeds of the concert went to Boy 8eout work here.
