very difficult matter to make W nuti-
cal programme. the numbers OF winch
were contributed exclusively by the dubs
and their ensemble, work. separately and
together solos, duets, etc, were all gems
that would have graced any concert pro-
gramme. But with all the merri llqnt ADD
glec there was a tinge Of badness irirnng
through the entertainment, caused by he
reflection that IL was the last ent sgtaim-
ment which these two musical organizations
would give under the leadership OF Mr.
w. y. Mason. who has brought both organ
cations to such high plane OF perfection,
Boh clubs regret very much his deter
min0tion TO leave Houston and their regret
is shared generally by The music loving
element of the community.
