s PAGE TEN MEDFORD MATT TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1934 I WELDS FRIENDSHIP Packed House Gives Med ford Artists Enthusiastic Reception Proceeds Go to Charitable Purposes By ARTIUB W. WARN OCR Twt hath her Ylctoriea No leu renowned than war" Last night, In the Pine Tree theater, at Klamath rails, the Medlord Olee men gave their first far-away-from- home concert and the occasion also proved to be the first real Oet-To- gether. Good-Will meeting between representative business and proiea atonal men of Klamath Falta and Medford. The Medford Chamber of Commerce bore all the expense of aendlng the Oleemen over to Klamath Falls, as a happy gesture of good will, and in return, the Oleemen gave their aervlces. without money and without price, to the Pelicans, the chaflty organization of 14 Klamath Falta men that makes a specialty of looking out for the under-privileged children of that city. So It was an event of kindli ness and unselfishness all around. Also, financially. It means that the Pelicans will have about 9300 more for their charity work on account of the work done by '"The Singing Mis sionaries" from Medford. n. O. Sign Out. A packed "sold out" theater greeted the Medford Oleemen when, after a happy little Introductory speech of welcome and appreciation, by Frank Jrnklns, the well known Klamath Falls editor and master of ceremonies of the evening, the curtain rose, "dis covering" the Oleemen. resplendent In evening clothes, ranged tier on tier on the stage, and Jamea Stevens, dl rector, all ready to entertain the audience. The first group of songs included "Land Sighting." "Sylvia" and "Swing Along." The second group "Dear Land of Home, from Flnlandla. "The Heidelberg Stein Song from Prince of Pllsen." and the rollicking "Hunting Chorua and Crow Song" from Robin Hood, with a baas solo admirably done by Oeorge Peckham. Then came a piano solo, "Valsa Chromattque," followed by "The Music Box" as en core, by Sebastian Apollo, the accom panist of the Oleemen. The fourth number was "Aframerlca," being a potpourri of negro spirituals, includ ing "Nobody Knowa the Trouble t 8ee,M "I've Got a Home In Dat Rock," "I'll Hear Dat Trumpet Sound,' "Joshua rot the Battle of Jericho," "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child," "Cruel flflxi on." "No More Auction Block for Me," with lncl dentsl tenor solo feelingly sung by M. E. Olson. An original prelude, Impressionistic of the negro's native Jungle music, aa well as the Interludes and special musical settings, were ail the work of Almus Pnmt of the Olee men. Mr. Pnmt accompanied the Oleemen In his opus, which wss one of the highlights of the evening. "Play Fiddle Play" and "OP Man River" concluded the fourth number. Stevens Mskes Hit. Jamea Stevens the sang. In his own ringing, charming way "I Love Life." Well, of course, there waa a prolonged applause, so he san "The Song of the Flea." Mora and more applauae, and then by request, he gave "Brother Can You Spare a Dime." It appeared that nearly 1000 Klamath Falls cltlaena thought Mr. Stevens could spare another song, so a fourth number was -On the Road to Man daiay." Mr. Stevens was In excellent voice and beamed on the audience In his willingness to please. He wrung the last drop of music and fun out of every piece he sung and very person leaving the theater had put the MM ford songster In his heart. If the art of Mr. Stevens can be com pressed within a phrase one might asy: "He sings with rare, most un usual, appreciation." The fifth and final group of songs Included "Stenka Raiin," Cossack ballad. "Deep Rlrer," "Shortnln i Bread," "The Last Round-Up' and Bella of St. Marys,' cot forgetting! an Interpolated number 'TMs la a Great Country." being the confea-1 I07ia ef an easterner coming to Ore gon and particularly to the Medford ! and Klamath Falls section. The I amuaing words were the work of H. N. Butler, one of the Medford Oleemen. and the solo waa done excellently by Fletcher Fish. Mr. Fish mlcht have sung verses sit ntght. and not weaned the audience, had Mr. Butler's supply of lyric held out. Mr. Fish haa a fine enunciation and you could under stand what he waa singing about and. In comedy tinging. we all know, one must get the point of the Joke. Mr. Fih poMfwes a real art for get ting his work -across," and seemed to enjoy the song, with relish, as much as hl listeners did. Apollo Keal Artist. Special reference should be made of the arttsfy of Sebastian Apollo, whoee Invaluable avnaUnce as accom panist haa done so much for the finished wpt of the Medford Olee men. He a master of techntqtie and put a touch of real genius Into everything he does. He waa partlcu- j larly happy In his two solo selections, which delighted the audience. Mr. Apollo la an InstrumentatUt of a high order and the Oleemen are fortu nate to have such an artist In their work. In rendition of the program, which reflected both variety of selection and mush-al beauty, the Oleemen won hearty approbation ,.om the audience. The Oleemen sang with flm-neaa of exvresslon and masculine vigor. In choruses that appealed, and that won many new friends. Mr. fctoven. ex perienced operatic singer and actor that he la. waa ever the able and tal ented conductor who alwara had hi mus'.cal lorce In hand. Surely he is a macnetle, colorful dtrwtor. In deed. It's hslf the show to see mm durct. be la so full of spirit snct contagious enthusiasm as '.ic .mt for the best effects in his efforts tr fill the air with melody rrora his men Mr. Steven I knows the knack of put ting fire, theater, drama, into every place the men sing and If, by chance, a piece la so unfortunate as not to possess those precious qualities, why then. In the language of the day. It la Just too bad, because Mr. Stevens puts them la anyhow. That's good showmanship, and showmanship Is the big thing today to win the world over, whether one la selling peanuts on the street, governing nations, or directing mile choirs. Yes sir, and lady, ahowmamshlp. Tou either have It or you don't have it. And Mr. Stevens haa it, artistically much. Clearly the Medford Oleemen have earned the title of being a real aaset for Medford, whether from a musical, cultural or civic point of view. It Is a splendid organisation for the com munity, permitting as It does, a chance for expression for a Urge number of uncultivated, but natural, singing voices. Such a choir Is a mass effort, and as such, aliowa the par ticipation of a large number of per sons. Under an Intelligent director, such as Mr. Stevens, hsppy results are bound to come. Appreciation Voiced. Between groups of sings short speeches of appreciation were made by W. E. Mahoney, mayor of Klamath Falls and Oeorge Cunning of Klamath Falls Chamber of Commerce. Paul Jackson of the Pelicans also spoke in a grateful way for the aid given by the Medford Oleemen. After the concert the Klwania club of Klamath Falls entertained the Medford men and women at a sup per In the dining room of the Wtl lard hotel, at which there was meat and drink and much hospttsllty. all given with a prodigal hand. Mr. Jenkins (this time in the role of toastmaater) did the Inevitable and obvious thing as might have been ex pected! In such a gathering of unof fending and Inoffensive visitors, to- wit: he called the meeting to order antt proceeded to call' upon people to make speeches who did not want to make speeches. You know . . . Any way, Mr. Jenkins made a charming speech of" gratitude to Medford and Its people, assured them that nothing waa too good for them from Klamath Falls at any time, under any circum stances, for any purpose. He called successively on W. 8. Bolger, W. A, Or tea and R. W. Frame, representing Medford and all three men came back with clever, Interesting, friendly, ap- propria to and short responses. They acquitted themselves splendidly. Nei tber could Mr. Stevens escape the unbridled toastmaater. Poor chap, he had already done his bit, but he couldn't duck. Toaatmasters, all toast- masters, should be choke n when they are four years old. Some day a patient. long-suffering people will rise up and have at them. ... Did Themselves Proud. This Is written In the cold, gray dawn of the morning after and yet It la quite Judicial, even though you may not think so. It waa a great community ahow In every way and the Medford Oleemen. as well as the Medford Chamber of Commerce, did themselves proud la their kindliness and nelghborllness to the city over the mountain. And In return let It be recorded that Klamath Falls used all Its available supply of laurel wreaths, flowers and medals In deco rating Its Medford friends who tried to do their boy scout good deed yes terday. So the whole evening proved to be a pleasant powwow of peace, a grand get-together party of neighbors, a happy Southern Oregon lore feast, a delightful mingling of men and women who should know, and there fore, love each other better. It looks as though tt would be the first of many auch community good-will : parties that must surely btnd Klam-1 ath Falls and Medford together closer than they have ever been before.
