"The best quartet ever heard here,"
Is the way tho majority of tne people ,
attending last night's entertainment'
by tho Hotnrlan quartet characterized '
tho concert. It was certainly a mu-,
Ical treat, and many who attended
last night will attend again this even-1
Ing.
Each member qualified as a soloist,
and was forced to respond to en-!
chores, and na a quartet their rendl-j
tlons were grand. Time after time,
the musical four wore called back,
and they responded with numbsrs
mining the gamut from "Heidelberg"
and "My Rosary" to "TIpperary."
Many would have been content to
listen to the quartet all evening, but
tho variations on the program were
warmly received. Resides n beauti
ful tenor solo by Mr. Wetzel and bass
selections by Mr. Bowman, dialect
numbers by Dr. Grover convulsed the
audience, and his banjo selections, In
cluding one of his own composition,
kept him busy playing enchores. In
his "Planologuos' Mr. Drown com
pletely cnptlvated the audience. The
ouchores woro so persistent that it
looked as though he was billed for
tho rest of the evening. He has a
sparkling humor nnd wonderful mu
slcnl tnlcnt, and his reading with,
piano solo Interpolation Impressed!
