Laughter and Rapture FIJI the Seattle

Evidently the fame OF the Stanford Man

Giee Club is growing. for there was. II any
thing. larger and more enthusiastic au-
dlence at the Seattle theatsr last nlgAt 10
hear the clever young men of the TWO or
CARNATIONS than on the night OF their first
appearance The upper boxes were niled
With members OF the two baseball teams
that had played In the afternoon, and the
house was gay with the colors of the
Portland Athletic Club. the University of
California. the Stanford University and
the Seattle Athletic Club. There were
flowers galore. which were most gracefully
received by the deserving performers. All
the numbers on the programme were given
with much heartiness and finish. In par
ticular should be noticed the two exquisite
violin solos given by Mr. Charles f. Par
cell, Wing Tee Wee" and the following
encores, and Grand Aria" by Mile Cal
Hope Cardinale Charles X. Field. Of
Stanford, who provoke! tumultuous ap
plause.
Estudiantia," by Lacome. was the first
piece on the programme. and was rendered
with spirit by the two clubs together. They
were encored. and then appeared Mr.. Russ.
with the University of California Glee
Club, and sang 'Predicaments," Yale
song, in a rnirth- provoking way. AS an
encore three verses on characteristics of
Chicago. Tacoma and Seattle girls were
rendered. which made the audience laugh
rapturously. Next came very sweet Sc
election by the mandolin club, entitled. La
Czarina," by Came which was heartily
encored. and another delightful selection
was given. Then came Rosebud Fair"
by the glee club. in which the merit OF
the bass singers came out prominently.
An encore was given 10 this also.
The fifth number was the most finished
work Of the evening, Mr.. ParcalPs violin
recital. This gentleman proved himself
the possessor of unusual talent. His
notes were fun and sustained and his
howing excellent. He was perfectly at
his ease on the stage. As an encore he
played a piece that displayed TO admirable
advantage his mastery OF technique. He
also was the recipient of floral gifts.
Next came the wing Tee Wee song.
by the glee club, which was all too short
and the singers were called out again and
again. They sang of the Everett girls
hand, the Whatcom girls foot and the
only name of the noun tain-Ra inier. On
their third appearance they accorded the
audience one OF the most dignifled bows
ever seen on the Seattle stage and then
withdrew. though the cheering was pro-
longed for several minutes.
The mandolin quartette next appeared
and gave a finished selection entitled,
I'm Fruehling." The performers were
Messrs. Wells, Graham, Code and Sewan
After this came THE Owl and the
Pussy Cat" by De Koven. which the glee
club sang cleverly. and then gave as an
encore, II Never Kick My Brothers
Sims" etc.
Then the Stanford club played the Pc
lish Dance, by Scharwenka, which was
given very artistically. and after an en-
core was followed by "Schneider's Band"
in singing which the glee club showed its
careful training.
Mr.. Fields wonderful impersona ton
was the next thing on the programme,
and the audience grew uproarious and
cheered the clever artist to me echo.
Nothing more amusing of its kind has
been seen on the Seattle stage. The per-
former received something over n bushel
OF roses, TO say nothing OF bouquet OF
choice Washington turnips.
The German Patron" by Came, fol-
lowed, played by the mandolin club, and
after 1t came rattling piece as encore.
Then the glee club sang "A Cradle
Song" and Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup" In response 10 the plentiful ap-
plause-
The evening closed with medley by
the united clubs and every one declared
that the concert was grand success.
