Tho only strictly local item of the
past few weeks was the concert by
thfc Medford Choral society last even
ing nt the Natatorium, ns a feature
of the county fair. As these notes
nre written before the date of the
I erf ormancc, a detailed account is
not possible in tins issue, tiie pro
gram was as follows:
Choral numbers Waltz from
Faust (Gounod); "Echo" (MacFar
ren) ; March from "Tannlniuser")
(Wagner) ; recitative and chorus, Mr.
Beeckwitb, soloist; "Ei Muler," from
"Stabat Muter" (Rossini). Violin
solo, "Valsc Trieste" (Sibelius),
Carlton Janes; choral number, "Song
of the Triton" (Molloy).
Part 2 Piano solo with orches
tra; two numbers from "Peet Gynt
Sinte" (Grey), Miss Flora Grey; vo
cal solo, aria from "Trovutore"
(Verdi), Miss Florence Iluwlrigg.
Choral numbers "When the Heart
Is Young" (Dudley Buck), "Sol
dicrs' Chorus" from "Fuust" (Clou
nod), "Moonlight and Music" (Piu
suit).
Because we hope very soon to "fol
low suit," perhaps a little news from
'way across the continent concerning
a music festival may be of some in
teresl. The one in question is th
twenty-first annual Maine music fes
tival, which includes a grand opening
concert, orchestral matinee, third,
fourth nnd fifth concerts, the hitter
a Red Cross benefit, all of which will
be presented in Bangor and Portland
The same director, Mr. Chapman, has
held this position for twenty years
The most auspicious announcements
concerning the festival are the up

ter of the president, nn orchestral
number by Henry Iludley, past con
ductor of the Seattle and Sun Fran
Cisco symphony orchestrn, nnd the
requested nppenrnnce of Madame
Alma Tracy, nt present a resident of
this valley, as concert pinnist. Be
cause of business interests, Madame
Tracy will not be able tn fulfill the
engagement, and Percy Grainger ha
been chosen instead. Madame Tracy
was to have played a concerto with
endenras by Reinecke.
Leo Hcnning, who played the part
of Lawrence Tucker with Kolb and
Dill Wednesday night, is an extreme
ly versatile young tnun. A year ago
Mr. Ilcuning wns one of the princi
pals in a big Hawaiian net nn the
Orpheum circuit. He is n wonder
ful dancer, possesses a good singing
voice, and as shown in "The High
Cost of Loving," handles comedy
roles with all the verve of ynufli. In
playing Lawrence Tucker, Mr. Hen
uiug just obeys the obvious rule of
etiquette, "Always be nnturnl." The
revue in the third act was extremely
pleasing. The refined manner of the

was too complete.
Albert Parr of "The Bostonians"
fame, spent four days in Medford
and vicinity last week enjoying sev
eral fishing trips ns the guest of
our famous angler, "Toggery Bill."
Mr. Parr is at present in vaude
ville. His exjierienco is indeed par
with many who nttuin position and
prominence after years of striving
against adverse circumstances in ev
ery form. A member of a musical
family from London) h Canadian by
birth nnd American by adoption, Mr.
Purr began his life work by singing
ns a child in Sunday school enter
tainments. ,Lnter,in nn amalciir pro
duction of the , "Mikado" he sang
"Nanki Poo." "AS a chorus mnn in
"The Isle of Champagne' he under
studied the principal roles und exem
plified the beauty of preparedness
when the leading man wns taken ill,
and Mr. Parr was given "his chance."
At the age of twenty . ho sung the
leading tenor roles in a rond show,
playing repertoire for seven weeks.
Later as leading mnn with Edna May,
Lulu Glaser nnd Grace Von Stiiddi
ford and then with the BostoHiuns,
Mr. Purr gained recognition step by
step. His most famous role was
Robin Hood, in -De Koven's opera of
the same name. Mr. Purr speaks
with the greatest respect and appre
ciation of his various teachers, gain
ing some special point from each
one, the best that is which, each one
had to give. Also speaks of the
"perfect combination" for a singer,
breath control, relaxation and nien
tnl attention. In oilier words, train
ed efficiency. "It is just work, work,
work first to reach the pinnacle,
then to hold rue's position, ullho, of
course, ono is never finished; there
is no end; we never learn it all."
"I shall never forget this brief
visit and return to the simple life in
your nine valley. Alter the noise
and bustle and excitement of the
large cities und constant travel, it is
something to remember." Mr. Parr
is the husband of .Miss Kstclle Went
worth, prima donna at Rnvinia Park
Chicago, this summer, who toured
with Mrs. Isaacs the season of
1010-17.
