The San Antonio College of Music and the Chaminade Choral Society offered a program of choral music, aesthetic dancing and a comedy drama May 11, as the fourth attraction in their series. The Chaminade Choral Society, Julien Paul Blitz, director, opened the program with a Belgian folk song arranged by Deems Taylor and songs by Carl Reinecke, R. Huntington Woodman and Wagner, all of which were given with the customary fine shading attacks and releases to which the public is accustomed from the baton of Mr. Blitz. Mrs. Blitz gave her usual capable support at the piano. Star Woodman danced gracefully “The Swan” (Saint-Saëns), Mr. Blitz playing the number on the cello, accompanied by Mrs. Blitz. Nine small children, pupils of Kate Hymas, danced “The Blue Bird,” with little Helen Rose Campton, solo dancer. “Neighbors,” a rural comedy by Zona Gale, directed by Mrs. James H. Bindley, formed the third part of the program. The cast included Mrs. Oscar J. Fox, Mrs. Bindley, Nora Duessen, Marie Watkins, Belle Cloonan, Juanita Baskin, Roy Herbert and Elma Luter.

The chorus sang “Omnipotence” (Schubert), with incidental solo by Harry Schwartz; “Viennese Waltzes” (Strauss), with Eleanor Mackensen at the piano; other numbers, given a capella, were by Attenhofer, Brahms, Jacobsen and Buck. This organization is a fine singing body; the volume of tone is excellent, and sombre and gay effects were easily obtained under the musicianly conducting of Mr. Jacobsen. Miss Hein sang with mellow and pure quality of tone, songs by Sibella, Schubert, Schumann, Cotes, Brahms and Beach, accompanied by Mr. Jacobsen. Miss Crider played with good tone and splendid technic, the tuneful “Caprice Espagnole” (Moszkowski).
