Auction of the. memorable game of
football at Corvallis, November 21,
the program presented by the. 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

ductory number and (responding( with

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.
