VANDERBILT aLEE CLUB.

On Monday night the Vanderbilt Glee club will be at O'Bren's, and will give one of their extra fine entertainments. The evening will be devoted to musical and vocal selections of high order, and the prediction, judging from the favorable press notices. is thatthere will be some fine selections rendered, and they of a high order.s The Nashville Mirror says:
 'Society turned out in body last night to hear the annual concert of the Wander bilt Giee, Banjo, Mandolin aud Guitar clubs at the Nendome theater. Society was well repaid, for never betore have col lege boys furnished better entertain meat or one more nearly approaching perfection. It was an enthusiastic audience, too, and justly so, for every selection deserved the liberal applause it received. The vocalists were in excellent voice, and evidenced care ful training us well as natural talent. But the Banjo, Mando and Guitar club created the utmost enthusiasm, being repeatedly encored. The most expressive piece of the instrumentalists was Vanderbilt Echoes,' medley and chorus arranged by MT. Allen. which took the house by storm. As an encore they played beautiful Span ish serenade, La Tipica.' The Love and Beauty Waltz and the encore it de- handed, 'The High School Cadet March, were also gems of the first water"
 1.-THE BURGLAR"
 Christmas afternoon and evening at O'Brien's opera houee "The Burglar,' ' under the personal management of c. Win Perkins, will be the great holiday attrac- tion.
 It is Il positive fact that more ladies and children have been entertained aud de- lighted with "The Burglar'' than with any other play of recent years. This Is but natural, for not alone Is "rhe Burglar' of a decidedly healthy tone, but combines all the sentimental qualities which never fail to win an audience. The character of little Editha is so beautifully and charmingly conceived that even men feel as If they would like to stand upon the stage for moment just 10 hug her. And little Lottie Briscoe has fully met the requirements of the author. The young romantic actor, w. R. Ogden, assumesthe character of the burglar, and the opportunity that tue part offers has been met by ths actor in most ! effective manner. The entire cast is usually good. Enjoy your Christmas din- ner and take 'The Burglar in for your dessert.

 "A Trip 10 Chinatown" has been seen here before. It was produced at the acad- emy last year and took the town by storm. It Is full of amusing situations, the lines arc good and the sp.cialties introduced ex- cellent.
 Frank Lane, who made such 8 hit last season as Welland Strong repeated his suc- cess. He is delightful comedian and acts as naturally as a bird flies. His songs were much enjoyed, especially the one entitled "She Was Right,'' which is new and received a number of encores. The other gentlemen of the cast played their parts very well.
 Tine ladies of the company are not as good as those here last season, but they were pleasing. Mrs. Guyer, the widow, was quite effective, aud her maid, Flirt, took with the audience. Miss Georgia bryton bright little woman, who at once makes friends with the spectators. The same programme tonight and at the Wednesday matinee.
