8 Tl'tE NORFOLK , HP/ITS : FRIDAY , MARCH 28,1902. Cantata of Ruth , the Moabttcss , at Auditorium. A CREDITADLE PRODUCTION , The Second ConRroKntlon.il Chorus Qtvos nn Entertainment before n Large Audlonco Thnt Shows Pains taking Practice , It in probnblo Unit no homo production was over undertaken on qnlto BO olixbo rnto n BQAO ! as was the cantata of Until , the MoabltoBS , which was presented at the Andltorium last evening by the ohoriiB ot the Second OonRrogtxtloiml church , under the porBonnl supervision , of the pastor , llov. Franklin Baker. The outortalntnont was ooinpllmontod with a largo and appreciative andlonco , who wore amazed that HO much perfec tion could bo brought out among aum- tonre , not 0110 of the 5'J persons who took part having over had ixny experience - once on the fttago before. It showed that perseverance and praotloo had boon employed unceasingly during the live months past , in which rohoarsalfl have boon hold twice a week. Mr. linker ban boon the moving Hplrit in the affair , and his ability an a manager is fully demon strated. The cantata was appropriately costumed in the various scones , and as a \vholo was very pretty. The oxpeuso of presentation was in the neighborhood of $200. While the amount netted by the entertainment was good , yet heroin does not Ho the greatest benefit , which is in cultivating n taste for music among the people and iu the sermon preached , which Mr. Baker thinks is the best that has been given slnco ho has boon in Norfolk. Miss Lucy SohalTor , who presided at the piano , acquitted herself with credit and materially assisted iu the presentation of the cnutnta. The curtain rose on a barren scone , portraying famine in the laud , dlsolos * ing 53 persons on the stage , dressed iu white ( lowing robes ot the time of Ruth. The opening chorus , "Help thou , Johovnh , " was well rendered , giving the full volume of 53 voices. Preston Ogden , impersonating the messenger , sang "Lo , there comes , " in a goodvoloi. The chorus responded with the ptuyor , "Lord , in thy mercy hoar. " This was fo'lowod by the solo of the Jewish ruftldon , represented by Miss Nye Wise , 'Tho Lord hath fed , " which was well rendered iu u clear and expressive volco. To this the chorus responded , "God is our refuge , " the scene closing with moving notion nnd good stage oiVect. By this time the audience was con vinced that they wore witnessing more than nn ordinary nmntour presentation , and the scenes which followed carried out this opinion. The seamd BCOUO was given entirely to the portraying of the characters Naomi , Orpah and Ruth. The scone opened with the Naomi solo"The . Lord hath sore stricken mo , " in which Mrs. Imlay gave much expression. It was responded to iu an improsslvo manner * by OrpnhMiss ( Carrie Roland ) , "Pity , Lord , the poor. " Hero Ruth gave her first solo , the part being impersonated by Miss Nell Diugmau , "Lo , in deepest anguish. " The duel work in this scone was good , and the trio was beautiful , snug by the three characters , Naomi , Orpah and Ruth. Miss Oarrio Roland in her solo , "When deepest shadows gnthnr , " did some of the best dramatic work of the evening. Her tones wore clear and true and showed much expres sion. The scene nnd duet between Ruth nnd Naomi , "I'll entreat theo not , " demonstrated that in placing the two parts iu the hands of Miss Diugnmn and Mrs. Imlay , no mistake had boon made. The third scene , showing the t'iiuo of plenty , wns sot forth with good stage action by full choruses. The duet be tween Mr. Bert Buohner , as first reaper , and Naomi , tenor and soprano , was well rendered. The curtain rose on the fourt'i act , showing a harvest scene , rlpo barley in field and shock being represented , mak ing a beautiful effect and iudlcatiug good stage direction. The opouiug solo , "Hail , glorious light. " by Mr. Buehnor , wns a high tenor solo. The scone of the reapers with their sickles , as they cut the grain , the binders impersonated by men and women , and the gleaners , composed of some 25 maidous , made a very beautiful effect. It was iu this eceno that the character Boaz , imper sonated by Mr. J. O. Wilson , with a heavy basso voice , was first introduced , and he immediately captivated thoandi- euco.who felt that this part waa like wise in competent bauds. The duet , ' "Tho cjrd shall reward thee , " between Miai Etru'Diau , contralto , and Mr , Wilspn. tn > i fntVer0l with great. ability. The ofllcinls."H8 that goeth fqrth and 11 iu this scene , perhaps one of The r pubionit Of the evening , waa early rhuuce i But it waa in the closing co ivHitior. of t ! , that Miss Dingman , railed M m et fa this time in a becoming Joi.e IS Thirty , ia her gleaning song , the Btute coinuiltln the slumber song , pjp issuing the caHax and did magnifl- ableauof the angels , cene , waa very pretty. > disclosed the barley with the harvesters r , Bnohnor , as first reaper , nnd Mrs. Imlay , ni Naomi , snug the sweet duet , "My spirit faints , " with good effect. Doth of Miss Nye Wine's solos in this soouo , "Hasto , yo maids , " nnd "A Father of the fatherless - loss , " showed a high rnngo of tones well ndnpicd to her volno. The scone closed with the second most dillloult chorus of the 01 outng , well rendered , "Walt thou only on the Lord. " The sixth BCOUO opened with Ruth and Don/1 in their wedding costnmoH , which wore beautiful and well suited to the times. The entrance of the 53 values la this BOO no was Indeed effective. The costumes wore highly colored and well contrasted. The arrangement of the V by the drill was well manipulated , while the entrance of the ton little vlr- Kins wns innrkod with rythrn. The drinking song by the chorus was picas ing. The quartet work In this scene by Miss Diugman , Mrs. Imlay , Mr Wilson and Preston Ogden , was QUO of the moo beautiful things in the cantata , nnd th "Amons" in the dual chorus , "Praiso y the Lord , " was indeed an improssiv climax-to an enjoyable ovoulug's outer- talumouc.
