German American Children Chorus Holds Celebration
The Forest Park division of the German American Children's chorus presented a Christmas program on December 29 at the German Old People's Home amid strong attendance. Under United Male Chorus of Chicago auspices, the Harlem Male and Almira Ladies choruses organized the event with a German playlet, carols led by Reinhold Walter, and the Gingerbread Bay tale featuring Anni Gras as grandmother. A. M. Wambrock welcomed the crowd, and Hans Zeitz recited prologue Holy Night in German. After the play, each chorus member received gifts, apples, and candies, and the ensemble closed with Silent Night. Donations to Karl Kraenzle support rehearsals for German American children ages 7-16 at 7800 W. Madison St. Forest Park.
