St. Olaf Choir to Sing Here Sunday Afternoon

The St. Olaf Lutheran Choir with F. Melius Christiansen as director, will appear in concert at the Murat Sunday afternoon at 3:15 o’clock. The choir is brought here under the auspices of the City Wajther League of Indianapolis. The beginning of the St. Olaf Lutheran Choir dates back more than a score of years. It was first known as the St. John’s Church Choir, but the name was changed in 1912 to the St. Olaf Choir, as most of the members were students of St. Olaf College. It was at that time that the choir made its first tour, including .such cities as Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago. During the years 1912-1920 short annual tours were made, principally through mid-western States. In 1913 the choir, which is very largely composed of young people of Norwegian parentage, visited the Scandinavian countries and gave about thirty-five concerts abroad. Enormous crowds greeted them everywhere, and press comments were extremely favorable. At its first appearana-. a in Christiania, Norway, the King and Queen attended the concert, and at the close came forward to greet the director and the choir, and to express their profound admiration. More recently, 1920-1923, the choir has visited the larger cities of our own cour y. It has sung in New York on tiiree different occasions, the last time in the Metropolitan Opera House. It is acknowledged everywhere to be one of the best choral organizations in America, if not in the world. The choir always sings without accompaniment and from memory. The programs rendered contain selections from the hest sacred choral music from Johan Sebastian Bach to the present time Usually the program is divided into three groups separated by short intermissions, during which the choir leaves the stage. The choir always stands while singing—a compact portable platform arranged in tiers being used to bring out the best ensemble effects. All the members of the choir are studenta- a t St. Olaf College, and very little time it available each year for conc“rt tours, ft has always been recognized that the first consideration and prime duty of these boys and girls is their academic work. -!- -I- -IAttractions on view today include: “Alice in M onderland at the Murat, Hope Edan at Keith's. “Stolen Sweets" at the Lyric, "Trimmed in Scarlet" at English’s, new show at the Palace, “Town Scandals” at the Capitol.

S. agricultural statistician. Temperatures for the period averaged Rom; below’ normal, but with considerable excess in precipitation and not much sunshine. Condition of winter wheat and rye is quite spotted with the poorest condition in the southwestern part of the State and the best in the northeastern part, the report-shows.

Bryant reports livestock in fairly good condition and the labor situation fairly satisfactory.
