The Aberdare Leader

Mountain Ash Cottage Hospital Eisteddfod. In gloriously fine weather, the twen- tieth annual eisteddfod in connection with the Mountain Ash Cottage Hos- pital was held on Easter Monday. The Premdents were the Right Hon. Lord Aberdare, Sir Wm. James Thomas, and the Hon. Clarence N. Bruce. The ad- judicators were: Music, Mr Granville Bantock, M.A., Birmingham; Miss! Morfvdd Owen, Mus. Bac., London; Mr Norman McLeod, A.R.C.M. Pwllheli Mr Arthur E. Da vies, F.R.C.O., A.R.C.M., Swansea. Bands: Mr. W. Adamson, Westhoughton. Literary: Brynfab, Pontypridd. Recitations: Brynfab and Rev. R. Gwmiyn Jones, Penrhiwceiber. Ambulance Dr. J. W. A. Wilson, M.D., Blaengarw; Dr. J. C. Edwards, Merthyr Vale; Dr. 1. LI. Morris. Abercynon. The conductors: were Mr W. Myrddin Hicks, Penrhiw- ceiber, and Rev. John Phillips, Moun- tain Ash. The accompanists were Mr Arthur E. Sims, L.R.A.M., Newport; Miss May Leake, L.R.A.M.. Maesteg; Miss Annie J. Webber, Mountain Ash. Promptly to time, the popular con- ductor, Myrddin, opened the proceed- ings, the first item for competition be- ing a violin solo, and was "won easily," said the adjudicator, by Miss Hannah Reynolds, Pontycymmer. The 'cello solo was not a competition, only one coming forward, but the adjudicator awarded him the prize, not only for his musical ability, but also for the fact that he had come forward. Mr Dd. Evan Williams, Treharris. was the winner. The tenor solo was won by Mr John Thomas, Merthyr Vale. Mr Granville Bantock thought that he sang with considerable feeling, and did not rely too much on his copy. The Boys' Choir competition brought forward one compact little body of singers, Cwmaman, conducted by Mr Idris William Thomas. They came marching on, appropriately enough, to Men of Harlech." The adjudicator said that the enunciation was good, but a little uncertain in intonation, in- clined to overdo rhythm and accents. They sang more like old men than juveniles. He awarded So marks, and that was sufficient to award the prize to them. There were two entrants for the contralto solo for those who had not previously won a prize exceeding t]. The test song was Cyril Bateman's Life, Love and You," and the adjudi- cator awarded the price to Miss Annie Jones, Treharris. The Juvenile Choir contest produced four entrants, appearing in the follow- ing order: Mountain Ash Choristers (conductor, Mr W. Morris) Miskin, Mountain Ash (conductor. Mr D. Bevan) Tabernacl, Llanelly (conductor Mr L. W. Adams); Garndiffaith (con- ductor, Mr John Matthews). The ad- judicator awarded the prize, tl-). to Tabernacl, Llanelly, 95 marks; 2nd prize, L2, to Garndiffaith, <n"> marks; Miskin and Mountain Ash were awarded 79 and 77 marks respectively. Mr. Bantock, giving his award in the Juvenile Choir, "Autumn Davs." said that the Mountain Ash Choristers were inclined to be out of tune. The Mis- kin Choir was more refined, but not al- ways in tune. The rendering of the Llanelly Choir was a faultless one. whilst the performance of the Garn- diffaith Choir was particularly good in intonation. A popular award was that to Mr Jno. Williams, an old eisteddfodwr of the Mount for the baritone solo. The Pauper's Drive." Mr Owen Da vies, Bargoed, was awarded the prize for the Welsh recita- tion, Y Fordaith Olaf." The judge in the pianoforte solo, Berceuse and L'Espiegl." said there were 12 competitors and all good players. The competition was very keen and Miss Mary Eva Miles, Llan- harran, was awarded the prize. The test pieces for the boys solo were, The Wayside -trin and Where'er you walk." There were two competitors, and the prize was awarded to .Master Einlyn Davies. A h-or- aman. The baritone solo, "The Miner Brave," was won by Mr Wm. Myrddin Evans, Llanelly. The adjudicator wished that the Welsh singers would get out of the old-fashioned way of singing from the copy. The winner sang with much more feeling than the other singer. The pianoforte sui". bite Heather," was won by Master CharLs Lodwig Teague. Penrhiwcciber. Bnntoc1: said the little boy had had it practically all his own wa> he had played without the copy and given the notes the proper value. The contralto solo, "0! let Him whose sorrow," produced t'lvee contest- ants. The judge said tllil neither 01 the three ladies had done themselves justice. They must leave their music behind them and do without Miss Gladys Arthur, Newbridge, Mon.. was awarded the prize. f The girls' solo, Baby, .Husu-a-bye," was awarded to Miss Ceinwen Williams, Blackwood. Mr. Bantock could scarce- ly imagine anyone singing a lullaby song with a piece of music in their hands. The mezzo-soprano contest, Lead, kindly light," proved to be one of the best solo contests of the day, and the prize was awarded to Miss Lily Clat- worthy, Cardiff. Miss Elorrie J ones then sang the Eis- teddfod song, Gwlad y Bryniau."

Chief Choral. Ten thousand people packed the gal- leries and floor of the great hall when the Chief Choral was announced. The scene was most inspiring when the ad- judicator, contrary to the usual rule, took his seat at the far end of the Pavilion. Only two choirs came up to compete—Mardy and Troedyrhiw. Mr. Bantock said it was a wonderful audience; he had not seen anything like it in the world. There were festivals in Scotland and England, where perhaps the music was on a higher plane, but the music was on a higher plane, but certainly the audience here was more musical. He regretted the piano ac- companiments what was more desirable with such fine singing was to be without accompaniment. There were only two contesting choirs, and he thought that was very regrettable. He had heard it was possibly due to the fact that other than amateurs were brought into the choirs. He hoped that was not true. He would like to compliment Mr Cyrii Jenkins, the composer of the second piece. He was a Welshman, and they ought to be proud of him. Speaking of Mardy, Mr Bantock said that their performance was a very high one, it had been dramatic and energetic. They had kept a splendid tone in Elgar's "Wraith of Odin." In Mr Cyril Jen- kins' piece they fell away, and were not at all happy in the middle section. Re- garbing the Troedyrhiw Choir, it was larger in numbers, but they were more exact in phrasing than the first choir. There was a homogenity about them, and the sopranos sang as one voice. In the second piece, 0! lovely night," they were not so successful, as they lost something in intonation, but lie had no hesitation in awarding the first prize, £ 70, to Troedyrhiw (conductor, Mi- Herbert Llewelyn), and the second prize, £20, to Mardy (conductor, Mr William David Evans). The successful conductors were invested with their winning emblems by Lady Aberdare. Mr Gwilym J. Lewis, Pontardawe, was awarded the bass solo, The Sen- tinel." The contralto solo, The Song of the Shirt," was awarded to Miss Dilys Jones, Penarth. She had sung with more feeling and dramatic force than the other competitors, said Mr. Ban- tock. The test' piece for the second choral was Mr Harry Evans' beautiful com- position to Newman's world known poem, Lead kindly light." Two choirs had entered, viz., Llandyssul (conductor, Mr Evan Richards) and Portsmouth (conductor, Mr J. S. Walker). The adjudicator said it was unfortunate they had not heard the other choirs. It was nice of Ports- mouth to come such a long way, and he admired that spirit of rivalry. Llan- dvssul were a little faulty in intonation and the performance lacked variety in expression, and the sopranos over- whelmed the basses. Portsmouth i lacked intonation in the opening, and there was too much individuality. He awarded 81 marks to the former and 75 to the latter. The soprano solo, The gates of eternal dawn," was won by Miss Beatrice Jenkins, Swansea. Miss Carrie Hagedorn, Loughor, won the soprano solo, "An open secret." The Band Competitions were most successful, and resulted as follows Class A: 1st, Ferndale (T. Proctor); 2nd, Cory's Workmen (J. Dobbing); 3rd, Ynyshir Standard (T. Moore); 4th, Cwmaman (R. S. Howells). Class B: 1st, Mountain Ash Volunteer (Willie Greenwood) 2nd, Caerphilly (T. Moore) 3rd, Tredegar Workmen (ft. Shaw). The bass solo, "The Blacksmith," was awarded to Mr Edward Evans, Tre- alaw. The pianoforte solo, Serenade des Anges," was won by Miss Annie May Mulvey, Mountain Ash, the adjudicator complimenting her upon her easy and fluent style. The baritone solo, "The Harlequin's Song," was won by Mr John Williams, Mountain Ash, his second success of the day.. The Ambulance prizes were awarded as follows:,— 1st, Abergorky; 2nd, Mardy; 3rd, Cwmaman. There were three contestants m the chief tenor, solo, God hreaketh the kittle," a difficult composition of Mr C. H. Parry. Mr Tudor Davies, Cymmer, Porth, won. The tenor solo, Thy fair face, Myfanwy," was won by Mr John Thomas, Merthyr Vale. The soprano solo, Rhapsodic," was awarded to Miss Alice Morton, Aber- cwmboi. Mr Bantock offered his sym- pathies to the two contestants. The test was an American piece, said the adjudicator, and it was a pity they could not have more Welsh music. He would have liked to have heard some good Welsh folk song. It was ten times the value of the American stuff. The Second Male Voice Competition, "Blow, blow, thou winter wind," pro- duced four competing choirs in the fol- lowing order: Clydach, Abergavenny • conductor, Mr Edgar Gunter); Moun- tain Ash Orpheus (conductor, Mr Isaac Thomas); Bryn United (conductor, Mr Ben Evans);' Blaenclydach (conductor, Mr Morgan Jones). Mr. Bantock said that Abergavenny sang rather unequal- lv. Mountain Ash had a rich musical blend. Bryn United was a fine imagin- ative performance, beautiful tone and well together. Blaenclydach were very unequal, but enunciation was good. He awarded Bryn the prize, £10, with 94 marks; Blaenclydach, 89; Mountain Ash, 87; Abergavenny, 71. The pianoforte solo, Liebeslied," was divided between Mildred Nicholas and E. Doris Rees, both of Swansea. The pianoforte solo, "Rosalind," was awarded to Miss Catherine Teague, Penrhiwceiher. The soprano solo, Love divine," was won by Miss Marian Griffiths, Aber- cam. There were two choirs in the Chief Male Voice Competition. The test pieces were, Down among the dead men," a composition of the chief ad- judicator's, and "Feasting I watch." I The choirs were Penywern and Dow- In is (Mr Evan Thomas) and Williams- town (Mr Ted Lewis). Giving his award, Mr Bantock said that the first piece was regarded rather too serious- ly. The "dead men" were not dead men, they were empty wine bottles. They ought to have sung it as if they were half seas over. Penywern gave a good rendering, but much too serious: the basses were weak. Aggregate, 180 marks; Williamstown were much better polished and they grasped the meaning of the first song much better. Aggre- gate, 186 marks; thus winning first prize, £20. Englvn, "The Dreamer," Ap Val- ant, Penrhiwceiher. The prize for essay on History of Welsh Farms," was withdrawn, no competitor being deemed worthy of the prize. Translation from Welsh into English, Mr T. Isaac, Cilfynydd. Recitation, Bill Mason's Bride," divided between Mrs. Emily Pickford, Penarth, and Miss Mvfanwy Owen, Abertillery. Chief Soprano Solo, "Possession" and "Love has wings," divided between Miss Alice Morton, Abercwmboi, and Miss Gwladys Partridge, Abertillery. Soprano Solo, If thou wer't blind," Miss Gwladys Partridge.

President's Address. Sir Wm. J. Thomas, Ynyshir, presi- dent of the afternoon, was given a magnificent reception, the whole aud- ience standing, whilst cheers after e. cheers rang through the building. He was surrounded by a distinguished com- pany, including Lord and Lady Aber- dare, the Hon. Percy Bruce, Col. Mor- gan Morgan, J.P., Captain Gwilvm Arnold Evans, J.P., Mr A. T. James, Mr and Mrs. Turpin, Bath, Dr. Arthur T. Jones, and Mr J. 0. Jones, M.E. The president said that he was proud to be there, and thanked them for their kind invitation. He couldn't refuse when he knew it was for the benefit of the Cottage Hospital. He was highly delighted with their singing. They had speculated in a good way, for they had heard the finest singing, and by so doing they were helping to relieve the suffer- ing, and nothing in the world could be better than that. Lord Aberdare, proposing a vote of thanks to Sir William for his kind at- tendance and his acceptance of the Pre- sidency of the Eisteddfod, said that they were all united in one effort—the upkeep of the Cottage Hospital. The management found that their expenses were larger whilst their income was smaller. They heartily welcomed Sir William there, for they all knew what a generous benefactor he was to the Car- diff Hospitals. He was a typical and orominent Welshman, and they all felt it a great honour to have him amongst them. Mr J. O. Jones, seconding the pro- posal, annreciated highly the presence of Sir William and also that. of Lord! and Lady Aberdare. Rev. J. Phillips had great pleasure in supporting. Rev. Father Irvine proposed, and Dr. Arthur T. Jones seconded a vote of thanks to Lord and Lady Aberdare for their presence and kind help to the Eis- teddfod.

Comments by F.A. Mr Granville Bantock struck a new note in his criticisms of Welsh singing. "Leave vour music behind you," he said, and one cannot help feeling that he is right. Our actors don't carry their copies with them, our opera singers have no music before them, and whv should the contestants do fiO? Mr Bantock as an adjudicator was a dis- tinct success, and his kind remarks to the buddimr singers and instrumental- ists will without doubt he taken to heart. Of course, manv of the competi- tors came in for a chiding in regard to tho use of the vibrato, and lie as good as told choral societies that unaccom- panied choruses were looked upon with more favour than those with the piano. His remarks to the chief male parties were real fun, and yet serious withal, for they had not read this famous com- poser's work properly. A mixture of comedy and tragedy truly. The work of the secretary, Mr D. T. Evans, and Mr. T. Hughes, assistant secretary, and Mr W. J. Griffiths, stupendous as it is, was carried out successfully, and no amount of praise, however lavish, is sufficient to give them comparative to their labours. One begins to identify this trio of workers as inseparable from the Eisteddfod. The accompanists, Mr Tom Millar, Miss Annie Webber, and Miss Leake, must be congratulated on their splendid services. Mr. W. Myrddin Hicks is a conductor that is above criticism, and his confrere, the Rev. J. Phillips, with his great voice, made the work go smoothly. Last but not least. Field Marshal Sem Davies must be mentioned for his Trojan work in connection with the arrangements of the hall. At the conclusion of the Eis- teddfod I learned that Sir Wm. Thomas had given a cheque for £ 60 to the fund. All hail, Sir William—benefactor in- deed

——————————— Aberdare and Merthyr. What interests our friends in Mer- thyr interests us in Aberdare. What is more, it equally benefits us when it is an item like the following, which gives facts so helpful to many men and women here in our own town. Mrs. C. r lives at 87 Crawen, Merthyr, on the main route to Brecon. She says: "I think it must have been a chill that brought on my kidney trouble. Shooting pains troubled me for a long time in my back and shoulders. I often used to be very low-spirited, with no energy for anything. I also had a ] touch of rheumatism, together with bad attacks of headaches and dizzi- ness. The water was not right, and I had burning pains when seeking relief. A friend of mine advised me to try Doan's backache kidney pills, which I did. I can say truthfully they did me a lot of good, and I have told many of their good qualities. They brightened me up, the backache gradually left me, and I felt alto- gether better in health than I had been for some time. The pills will always have a good word from me. (Signed) Clara Price."

.< Wedding Postponed. Unfortunate Omission at Mountain Ash. A rather regrettable incident oc- curred in regard to one of the Easter Weddings at Mountain Ash on Satur- day, 11th inst., viz., that of Mr. Antony and Miss Pook. Both the bridegroom and bride's family are well known at Miskin. The event was looked forward to as one of great local interest, and a large crowd gathered at the bride's house and also outside the English Wesleyan Church, Darran Road. As the wedding party arrived in motor cars they were covered with confetti and rice. The bride ,Miss Winifred Pook, was tastefully attired in a cream serge cos- tume with a waterwave silk collar, and black chip hat with large white plume, and carried a beautiful bouquet of arum lilies. She was led to the altar by her father, and attended by her sister, Miss Alice Pook, who wore a prettily made nun's veiling dress. The bride- groom was attended by Mr Arthur Pook, and the guests at the. church were Mrs. F. Pook, Mrs. Antony, Mr and Mrs. Pugh, Capt. and Mrs. Dumpleton, Miss Nellie Bailey, and Mr J. S. Mug- fcrd. Unfortunately, through a misunder- standing, the registrar had not been notified, and the Rev. L. R. Winter, notified, and the Rev. L. R. Winter, who was to officiate, could not therefore perform the nuptials. After a con- sultation the party left by car for the bride's house at Thomas Street, where a reception was held. The postponed ceremony will take place at Duffryn Street Church in about three weeks.

A "Pearl" Convivial. The staff of the Aberdare and Tre- cynon Districts were invited to a knife and fork tea by their Superintendents, Messrs. H. Morris and Sam Thomas, on Wednesday, the 8th inst., at Miles' Restaurant, Aberdare. Mr W. Wil- liams, general supt., of Merthyr, was in the chair. Mr W. R. James gave a pianoforte solo, and Mr A. James fol- lowed with a song. Mr A. T. Abel pro- posed The Pearl Co," also Aberdare and Trecynon Districts, coupled with the names of Messrs. H. Morris and Sam Thomas. He said that the Com- pany did well last year throughout the kingdom. Aberdare and Trecynon dis- tricts were among the successful dis- tricts of the Company. The fact that the silver cups were won by Mr H. Morris and Mr S. Thomas proved this, of which fact he was very proud. (Ap- plause.) Responding to the toast, Mr H. Mor- ris, Supt. of Aberdare, said that it was the staff that won for him the cup, for which he was very thankful. He would endeavour to win this year the gold watch which was offered by their genial General Supt., Mr W. Williams. Mr S. Thomas, Supt. of Trecynon, in rising to propose the toast of the H.H. Division, coupled with the name of the General Supt., said that his first duty on behalf of himself and staff was to thank Mr W. Williams for the silver cup which was won by himself and staff. He pointed out that the giver was an Aberdarian by birth, and no doubt Mr W. Williams was pleased to see the cups won by his native plf"B He fthe speaker) wished the Division every suc- cess, and hoped that the General would be long spared to guide them. (Hear, hear.) In responding to the toast, Mr W. Williams thanked those present for drinking the toast so loyally. He urged the staff to try to win the gold watches offered. Mr T. J. Howells, Supt. of Mountain Ash, proposed the toast of the Ordin- ary Branch, coupled with the name of Mr E. Edwards, Ordinary Branch In- spector. He remarked that the staff were proud of their Inspector, and that lie had done excellent work in the Aberdare valley last year. Mr. E. Edwards, in response, re- marked that the figures were excellent. He regretted very much that Mr D. Rees was absent from the meeting through illhealth, he having secured £ 125 by way of premiums last year. The following took part in the meet- ing- Messrs. Dl. Evans, E. Thomas, T. Rees, J. Griffiths, D. J. Evans, E. W. Davies, E. A. Griffiths, D. Enoch, J. Edwards, J. D. Morgan, H. Feltham, T. W. Morgan, J. E. Jones, assistant supt.; C. W. M. Marks, assist, supt.; J. Rees, J. H.
