Uni versity , of Oregon Glee club last ev ening to an appreciative audience at Sherry's theatre, was received with the highest comments by La Grande critics. The concensus of opinions is that the numbers excel in finish and polish previous efforts of the warb- lers from Eugene. ' Aside from the fact that La Grande has been fond of the U. of O. club because for sev-. era years in succession La Grande men have been prominent in itrr-asido from this fact, be it repeated, La Grande always listens to the Christ mas holiday program with keen int erest. , : The (program . goes with a bang from the start. The ensemble, numb- . ers .by the club are good, showing splendid control of good voices. The arrangement is such as to give plan- ty of, light college airs to top off" the ''heavier" numbers . used at inter vals.;, While the ensemble is good, it is really the individuals that make the club what it is. Paul Sprague's tenor solo, "Songs of Araby," (by Rhys-Herbert), William Vawter's baritone : number, "Song of the Sword," taken from the opera Tofano - (by CQoughiLeighter), and Albert Gillette's baritone solos stand out as musical renditions of first class cali bre. It was not to the - disparage ment of either Mr. Vawter of Mr. Sprague that Al. Gillette was called back four times he was the popu lar idol of , the individual starjs and the house , was loth to let him retire. These three are worth while vocals ' Vern Apperson handles the Xylo phone with apt skill, giving the VPoet and Peasant" overture as his intro ductory number and (responding( with several lively aire. ' 'V V:-'' The only ; adverse criticism that a La Grande ' audience 'could make to the program as- given was the; non appearce of ' Henry ; Haidenrich in solo work. The , local boy's splendid basso' grounded; out the quartet in marked ;: musical j "precision, and , La ; Grande would liked to hear "Heinie" alone it had to be content to l.eai him twice in quartet appearances and to the quartet must be handed ' a boquet on a golden tray; no better music has been put forth by any four collegian singers, in La Grando. the "stunts" department,-La Grandp waa keenly interested too, and weir repaid. ; Merlin Batley, a graduate of ; La Grande high, and Bert Jerard of Pendleton have a line of funny stuff that unquestionably gets by anywhere. Overlooking tho -local iniferest -in the two boys, the features ' of the "Tempus Fugit" acc '. are many and good Mr. Batfley's facial pantomine on a picture shew fan ranks high as a bit of art in . the entertaining line.- Thus, in touching each department of the club's . endeavoV, there is nothing one might say to detract or discourage it is a good club,; well , voiced, well directed and well taught. La Grande was treated to a spec ial feature of the program which bo other Eastern Oregon city got it was dono -to show the deep apprecia tion of past receptions , to the club in La Graitfe. Njearly the complete details of the game of foot ball be tween Oregon and ,0. A. C. at Cor vallis November 21, was reproduced in film form, showing with marked clearness the features of the players, how the field goals were kicked, and giving all-in-all, a first class substi tution for a seat on the sidelines. During ' the film representation and during various slide scenes . thrown on the screen, the Oregon ldv song3 and x Oregon "spirit" carols were warbled by the singers. Come as often as they may Ore ( gon'a glee club will be -a welcome guest in La Grande at any time. Notice of Stockholders Meeting.'
