College boys are always interesting,
but when they band themselves TO-
gether and sing the dear nonsensical
college songs, which are far more anus
ing than anything a famous comedian
sings, and far more stirring than
battle hymn, it isn't in nature not TO
applaud; and applaud they did, the
people who crowded the PeO-
pies church last night to hear
the Harvard Glee, Banjo and
Mandolin clubs. They applauded
every member, and as soon as the little
ShyneSS they started out with wore OFF,
they encored every number and threw
In little entirely eXtraneouS applause
TO make good measure. 1t wasn't that
the clubs sang and played marvelously,
for, truth to tell, they didn't, but just
because they were college boys that
every one of their efforts scored hit.
First on the programme was the giee,
Johnny Harvard" and, of course,
everybody clapped when the band OF
young men. each with a carnatiOn III
his button hole and an expression of
vain dignity on his face, marched out
upon the platform. Their leader, Sid
ney Farwell, belongs to st. Paul, and
that fact brought out additional proud
applause. How Can ] Leave Thee?"
followed Johnny Harvard" and
sang the solo, "a Hundred Fathoms
Deep" with an accom- paniment by the
clue. Mr.. Bruegger's voice is of good
quality, and well trained. AS an en-
core he sang to the air of The Last
Rose of Summer" the story of little
Johnny, who ate the quicksilver off the
back of the mirror, quoting JOhnny's
mothers remark that 1T was a chilly
day for Johnny when the mercury went
down." Tom. Tom, the Plper's Son."
a glee, was encOred, and the club sang
an altogether bacchanalian Rhine wine
song.
The banjo clubs first number was
Strauss polka, with waltz encore. The
club received fiowers-crimson ones, of
cOurse-and one floral piece in the
shape of a crimson banjo. Each of the
clubs was presented with flowers during
the evening. Simple Simon," with
additions Mother Goose never dreamed
of brought back the glee club. Faint
Heart Ne'er Won Fair Lady" was sung
by Mr.. WhitehOuSe, with chorus by the
club. So taking was this recital of
cOllegian's unfortunate love affairs that
as an encore Mrs. Cragin's Daughter
was given.
In 1.-The Hoodoo," which was great
faYorite with the audience, the Harvard
men explained how their defeat by
Yale was due to the presence of hoo
doc. The solo was by Mr.. Berry, who
gave also "0ld Man Moses" The club
sang about boy and a teacher and
tack.and The Phantom Band" The en-
core to the latter was the familiar "Sni-
der's Band," sung, and well, too, as
patrol. March ROumania," and
bOlerO from the Mandolin club, ended
the first half of the programme.
Fun in De Cotton Fields" the first
number of the second part. was played
by the banjo club. The quartette,
Messrs. Dole, Berry, Farwell and
Bruegger. sang Rosebud FAIR and
"Boreen." the latter the story of very
wicked black woman who played poker
and smoked cigarettes, admired the bal
let. and in short was fearful example
to college boys of the depth of wicked
ness. Recalled, the club sang Every
Day'll Be Sunday BY and By" with in
quiries of Julia" as to the health
funny way. The next glee was 1.-The
Pope" followed by wing Tu Wee"
and ''Holsteiner's Band" THE Moon
sinner" by E. IL. Abbott, '93, was the
encore.
An Andalusian waltz was played by
the Mandolin club with rhythm and
swing that set half the audience beat
ing time. The Three Glasses" by the
Glee club, was followed by Romeo and
Juliet" in which Mr.. Buegger's really
beautiful bass voice sang Juliet's
lines, and Mr.. DOle's tenor notes
told of ROmeo's woes. Versatile
Baby" all excruciatingly funny
song in which the baby is realistically
initiated ended the programme. Then
all the Harvard men in the audience,
under graduates. alumni or eX-students,
gathered at the platform and sang Fair
Harvard" After that they yelled in a
way to raise the rOOf-yelled for Har-
ward. for st. Paul, for Shepard Stone,
for SidneyFarwell and for goodness only
knows what all. 1t was, fit ending to
a college boys concert, and was heartily
enjoyed by all the audience. Sidney
Farwell is an excellent director. and
has a smooth and pleasing baritone
voice, which, with Mr.. Buegger'S bass,
is the best solo voice the club has. AS
musicians they are not at all wonderful,
but as a college glee club they are emil
nently successful, and are always sure
of applause. In the audience were:
