"There is no more versatile or beautiful instrument than the human voice. properly used.‘ or words to that effect, has been said by many in the many years that culture has recognized the singing voice as one of its ex- pressions.

Cbarlottetonians have recent- ly been given twice the oppor- tunity to judge for themselves the truth in that statement. Last week it was the Canadian Opera Company’s visit with their mu- sical farce ie Fledermaus. Last night it was the P.E.I.

Faith McKenny sang an ani- mated, well-received transla‘ tion of the French-Canadian folk song, The Mlllwheel. And the entire choir voiced an ap- proving tribute to La Cana- dienne. the pretty little French Canadian girl, who can charm the world.

other soloists included sop- ranos Nancy Cox, Barbara Rogers. Gwen Patterson and Miss McKenny; basso Edgar Wright, tenor David Hall, who sang several solo parts. and baritone George McDonald.

GUEST CONDUCTORS

Two guest conductors. Wil- liam E. Fletcher. and W.

Mr. Rogers' three beautiful little melodies, in- spired by poems of the belov- ed female poet. received what might- be termed deservedly great acclaim.~

Perhaps the choir showed best its prowess in singing the opening anthem. 0 Canada, and the closing one. The Queen (for which no one refused to stand). As one man backstage said, "Royston Mugford de- serves to be congratulated for
