University, to-night, when the Rhondda Welsh niale choir will ap- pear under the auspices of the King- ston Rotary club. All over the Unit- ed States the choir has been meeting with tremendous success, and on its Canadian tour the same success is as- | surred. The following press extractss will be read with interest: The Rhondda Welsh Glee Singers is a finely drilled choir. The voices are unusually good, and the enthus- fasm--fire would better describe it-- with which every phrase and idea was given, was memorable. The balance and the dynamics were *be- yond criticism. There was an irre- sistible "go" in their music and a decided minimum of the falsetto from the temars. It was a straight- away, highly intelligent manful style of music, and those who made up the large audience can tell others what they missed.--Newport Times, Rhode Island. No exaggeration to say that finer work of this kind has never been heard in Troy. Composed of four- teen voices, yet the volume produced is that of a far larger body. They are a perfectly blended chorus of male voices, wholly creditable to the musical reputation of musical Wales, and worth a repetition wherever they appear--The Troy Record, New York. Something unusual in the line of musical entertainment, Hearty ap- plause greeted every mumber, com- pelling encore after encore. Voices blending beautifully. These men from Wales shun the musical trash, prefering rather to sing fcr art's sake.----~Woonsocket Herald, Rhode Island. The most notable feature was the ensemble singing by the chorus. When the soloists sang one could judge the individual excellence of the members who make up the chorus, but even with such good sing- ers to start with, the work of the chorus was remarkable. It was like playing on one instrument, the unity of tone and feeling seemed to com- If life for you is far from bright, Don't hesitate a bit to write To Wally; when trom. him you hear Once more life will be full of cheer.
