Today is one of those days that we can sit back and feel that we too, have done our part in making you the '"grandest person in the Eas ter Parade." . . . Have you ever thought of WHY you bedeck yourself so lavishly for Easter Sunday? WHY your clothes and hats hats are usually pastel color ed and abloom with- flowers? You are actually imitating the land. All of the world is abloom and beautiful as it awakes from its winter long sleep. All of the world is arising to new life as tho it had been dead. Symbol ically all of the world is cele brating in the Resurrection. It is Easter Sunday and w too, in pride and beauty, renew our faith. Like na ture we put on our Easter best as we begin the new year with hope and promise . . . and put forth flowers in our window.

Material beauty created for your home and to add to your gracious living. Today we are concerned with beauty of the spirit. The greatest gift of Easter is the gift of Hope . . , of Love and of Kindness . . . one to the other. This month we can realistically follow this creed of thinking first of others by donating generously to the Cancer Association. It is our opportunity to do our share in bringing Hope to the Cancer patients it our valley. We both wish you and yours a thoughtful Easter Day. t "HP 1 Airlines.

Richard D. Werner, director of the philharmonic orchestra and chorus, believes that the pro gram which he has planned will be of great appeal, with orches tral numbers and solos from both light and grand opera as well as the ballet selections. Opening the program will be selections from "The Merry Wives of Windsor" with Sue Murphy, soprano, singing "Vil ya." The chorus will complete this light opera portion by com bining with the orchestra to pre sent Victor Herbert's "March of the Toys" from "Babes in Toy land." The first part of the ballet section of the concert, to be pre sented by Colleen Hope and her pupils will be the "Hymn to the Sun" from "Le Coq d'Or" by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Oriental in color and line, this beautiful mu sic will serve to present Miss Hope, with Patsy White and Charmayne Charley as co-soloists, in an interesting interpreta tion. The dancers will be in brilliant gold costumes and the director feels sure that the audi ence will be captivated not only by the beauty of the music but by the flowing delineation of line by the dancers. Frances Thrun, whose contral to voice, described as rich, has brought her so much notice and iraise in recent years, will sing "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" from Samson and Delilah" by Saint Saens. During her solo the stage will be set for the second sroup of dancers who will pre sent all of the ballet music from Aida by Verdi. A feature of this music will be the singing of the oriestess' chant by Caroline An drews Werner. As in the oper atic performance, she will sing this backstage as if from the tern nip of Tsis. Miss Hope's dancers who will appear in these numbers are Patty Hilton, Dolly Greene, Vir ginia Bourman. Beverly Hogue, Frances Hogue and Donna Lange, Negro dance: Patsy White. Gloria Haggard, Jackie Schiro, Ruth Offord, Sandra Laing. Marlene Garman, Sylvia WcCollough, Jackie Browning, Dana Ragsdale, Janice Stevens, Delores Baize, Carol Cutchin, Lee Stark and Rosemarie Reent er, veil dance. As has been true In past con certs, the society will again pre sent a new singer who will be heard for the first time in public here as a soloist. This will be Ludwig Skala, bass-baritone, who will sing the prologue from Pagiiacci by Leoncavallo. The chorus will follow this number, singing "The Bell Chorus" from the same opera. As a contrast, the following Two "Lohengrin" numbers are on the program. "Elsa s Dream will be sung by Loree ora, whose pleasing soprano voice has been used for solo parts in pre vious philharmonic concerts, and the chorus will follow with the music which nrecedes Elsa's en trance into the cathedral in the course of the oncra. numbers will be four short chor uses from the opera "Linda" by Mr. Werner. The choruses are Negro in character, and are used to nrovide local color in the op era. One. entitled ireat me Right, was learned from an old lave in Alabama bv the lioret- tist. E. M. Andrews, and the solo part is to be sung by Mrs. H. D. McMHUn. The remaining inree are Mr. Werner s compositions and are "Hallowe en bong with solo by Marie Guttenfeldcr; Banjo Song with solo by Rob ert Corliss and "Lament" to be ung by the chorus. All are to be sung a cappella. Because he believes an operat ic concert would be incomplete without something from Bizet's Carmen" the director has pro grammed the entr'acte to Act III for the orchestra, the smug glers' scene from Act III and The Habenera. This famous solo will be sung by June Pop- ham, another newcomer, and in the opinion of those who have heard her this will be one of the high spots of the concert. Her style is reminiscent of Gcraldine Farrar. Mrs. Popham will be accompanied by the chorus and orchestra. For the smugglers' scene, the "xtct number will be sung by Mrs. Werner, Mrs. Popham, Tresa McMannis Matlack, Almus Pruitt. Jack Strong and William Ford. The concert will be brought to a close with Mr. Skala doing "Evening Star" from "Tann hauser" by Wagner and the chorus will sing "Hail, Bright Abode from the same opera.
