The concert given by the Esta­ cada Choral society on Friday even­ ing at the Liberty Theater was in­ deed a treat to the local public due to its fine rendition and type of numbers chosen. Under the able direction of Mr. David Horner, of Dodge, the follow­ ing numbers were sung by the chor­ us: National Hymn, “To Thee, O Country,” “ Bridal Chorus,” “Lulla­ by,” Brahms, “Olaf Trygvason,” “The Dancers,’ ’ “Li’l Liza Jan e,” “Glor'a,” Mozart, “Angel of Peace” “ Wanderer's Night Song, by Ruben- stein, as sung by Mrs. Fred Horner and Mrs. Harry Kitching was most pleasingly given and they were called upon for an encore. Miss Ruth Dillon sang “Hark, the Robin’s Song,” delightfully, and al­ so responded with a second number. The “War March of the Priests” was played by Messrs. Ahlberg, Ba­ ker and H, Horner on the violins and cello and proved very enter­ taining to their listeners. An old time song, “A little Farm Well Tilled” was revived again and as given by Messrs. H. Horner, Ba­ ker and F. Horner “bronght down the house” with laughter and they were compelled to sing it a second time much to the delight of the aud­ ience. A quartette consisting of Mr. and Mrs. F. Horner 4 Miss Ruth Dillon and Harold Horner sang "A Regu­ lar Royal Queen” in a most “dram­ atic” manner. Their encore was a “ Weeping Song” which also showed more opportunity for dramatics. Mrs, Harold Horner was the able accompanist for the entire program and showed splendid work on all numbers. Mrs. E. K. Scott gave sever nl readings in a most finished manner and was heartily encored. She re- spondede very generously. The Choral society is composed of about thirty or forty local mu­ sicians and is putting in a great, deal of time and effort in making this chorug a truly big asset to the town and should receive the sup­ port of the entire community.
