Orpheus l our, Tht
Rest Of The Year
“ Fine,” ’Splendid,”
“ The best
we have had y e t,” were some o f
the“remarks overheard as the [audi­
ence filed out Monday night after
the fourth and last number on the
Lyceum course.
Everyone was
smiling, for everyone had had a
thoroughly good time.
The Orpheus Four— a quartet
who claim Los Angeles as home,
but who during the past year have
traveled over practically the entire
c««untry from Maine to Florida,
from San Diego to Seattle, giving
concerts continually in all sorts o f
towns both large and small— pre­
sented a pleasing programme that
was a pot-pourri o f many kinds o f
music. They possess fine voices,
each individual, and each in strik­
ing contrast to the other three.
Mr. Campbell, who announced
the numbers interspersed his an­
nouncements with humorous stories
that never failed to bring a laugh.
He sang a solo group in which
“ The Bells o f St. M ary’s” deserves
special mention for the beauty o f
feeling with which it was present­
ed. His is a fine, smooth and col­
orful baritone.
Mr. Dudley, basso, sang songs o f
the sea well suited to his deep
range. Indeed some notes were
astonishingly low,
but pleasing
withall. “ The King o f the Winds,”
bv David, and the familiar rhythm
o f “ Asleep in the Deep,” found
great favor.
It is hard to know just how to
appreciate the buffoonery o f Mr.
Adams which added much to the
variety o f the programme. Wheth­
er his is natural drollery or a g ift
o f characterization would be hard
to say after but one hearing. His
group o f songs to his own accom­
paniment on the guitar were rol­
licking fun from start to finish.
His voice is remarkably true.
But it was Mr Vermilyea whose
tenor gave an unusual quality to
the ensemble. Such a tenor one
seldom bears and hearing does not
fo rg et,- high and clear with a
bell-like quality that lingers in the
memory. His work, both vocal and
instrumental he played the one
piano solo, Rubinstein’s “ Kamennoi
Ostrow,” — shows true musician-
ship. The song o f his own com­
position, " L itt le Sleepy Head” ,
with accompaniment in very mod­
ern rhythm,
possessed unusual
charm.
As a quartet they sang together
with the ease o f long custom, and
with voices blending into the har
mony o f organ tones.
The pro­
gramme held something for every­
one, from the humorous solos and
the love songs, to the beautiful
arrangement o f “ Nearer My God
to Thee” .
They were more than
generous with encores.
This is the first appearance o f the
Orpheus Four in Monmouth. Let
us hope it w ill not be the last.
A ll who heard the concert will look
forward with pleasure to a possible
return engagement another season.
