This is pure prejudice, but I'd like to hear less sentiment, however *gemuetiich,” and more substance, especially at the beginning of each program.

Norman Cordon Wins Response

Of Audience

By HENRY BUTLER Clarence Elbert and the Indianapolis Maennerchor last night had a smaller audience than they deserved in the Athenaeum. For their season's final concert, Mr. Elbert and the choral group had Norman Cordon, bass-bari-tone, as soloist. Mr. Cordon has range, flexibility and volume. He's a good, workmanlike singer with rare understanding of showmanship, In last night's concert, Mr, Cordon sang right across to his listeners, and won enthusiastic response. His “Non Piu Andral” from Mozart's “Marriage had the authentic Metropolitan He was fortunate also in having Dorothy Munger, the Maennerchor's accompanist, at the piano,
