Due to snowy weather conditions, attendance at the annual concert was smaller than usual. The weather was probably also responsible for cancellation of Alide Topp’s performance. All attending performing artists gave their best to fill the void. Miss Landesmann, Mr. Steins, and Kopta particularly excelled.
