GLIMAXTO MAY FESTIVAL FRIDAY EVENING; CHICAGO ARTISTS WILL APPEAR ON PROGRAM

Rendition of Franz Joseph Haydn's "The Creation", by the Richmond Festival chorus, symphony orchestra and Mme. Elsa Harthan Arendt, Arthur Kraft, Rollin Pease and Mrs. Ray Longnecker, assisting artists, at the Coliseum Friday evening, will constitute the supreme climax which will ring the curtain down on Richmond's greatest community achievement in music. The assisting soloists, with the exception of Mrs. Ray Longnecker, who is a well known local singer, are Chicago artists and reputed to be from the highest calibre the great western metropolis has to offer. An example of the excellent talent which will be heard was exhibited by one of the soloists, Rollin Pease, who served as assisting artist to the Symphony orchestra in its concert Thursday evening. Final Appearance The orchestra will make its final appearance this season at the Friday evening chorus. It will be conducted by Prof. J. E. Maddy, who will also conduct the community chorus of 300 voices. Mr. Maddy has directed the orchestra and chorus rehearsals this year, as well as directing the training of other units participating in the festival, and much credit for the successful termination of the undertaking has been attributed to him. An audience of over 1.000 persons which more than made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers heard the symphony orchestra final and most finished perforance of the year at th Coliseum Thursday evening. Perfect control was exercised by Prof. Maddy over the execution of every selection. The most pleasing performance was given in four movements from the "Ballet Egyptien" by Luigini. Iy. "Snrahavria." hv Svpndsen. the violin solo bv Concert Master Hicks was an ' outstanding feature. Pease Popular. Rollin Pease, basso, assisting soloist of the evening, proved one of the most popular artists who has appeared here this year. He was forced to respond with two encores at the end of each number. His tonal nuances were particularly pleasing. His voice is powerful in vclume and has emotiona! qualities which should go far in making its possessor a reputation among baritones such as Caruso holds among tenors. Mr Pease will be heard again Friday evening, as soloist in presentation of "The Creation." The high school orchestra and masicat clubs, gave an unusually creditable performance Thursday afternoon. The Freshman Glee club was enthusiastically applauded for its numbers. The ensemble performance of the Apollo chorus and the high school orchestra in "The Tale of the Bell" -afforded an excellent example of the training in; musicianship afforded by 'he public schools. Outstanding in the production was the solo work of Rhea Crandall. soprano and William Romey, baritone. Children Appear. The second performance by grade school children will be given in the Coliseum Friday evening. The ensemble will comprise a children's chorus of 650 voices from Baxter, OHIO BOY IS HELD FOR AUTO VIOLATION G. A. Landis. of Pleasant Hill.
