PRINCETON GLEE CLUB CONCERT
One of the largest and most distinguished
audiences that has ever attended a glee
club concert in this city gathered last even
ing at the Lafayette Opera House, where
the orange and black of Princeton Cniver-
sity was very much in evidence. All The
boxes were occupied by society people and
practically all the debutantes of the season
were present. Princeton alumni Were on
hand in force. and when the glee club APP
peared and sang odd Nassau an open
ing number the house was completely 1lled.
In point Of numbers as well as musical
efficiency the glee. banjo and mandolin
clubs this year are far ahead OF any
Princeton musical organizations of former
years. The program was well arranged
and there was not a number it that was
not encored several times. College songs
medleys and musical selections of a more
serious character Were given in just about
the right proportions, while the work of
the mandolin and banjo clubs was of a
really high order of excellence The SOLO
lists. Mr.. A. G. Mari. Mr.. W. f. Mountain
and Mr.. F. o. Ludlow. 'cellfSt, each made
distinct nit. AS concluding number the
three clubs combined gave The Triangle
Song, beloved of Princeton men In most
ing cheers for their loyal friends in Wash
ington and three more for Old Nassau.
wATKIN-MILLS RECITAL.-versatile
that the programs of Mr.. Watkins-Mills
have so potent an attraction for so wide a
circle of students. OF extensive range and
great fiex1bility, his voice seems equally
adapted to the very heavy roles of ora
torio and the lighter demands of sentiment
tai music. Few, if any. of those who have
ever heard him in rectal, can forget the
distinct impression made by this master of
singing, so truly does he sing himself into
the hearts and minds of the audience, and
so thoroughly does he enter into the spirit
of the selections which he interprets. In
dications of his position in the local music
world are in evidence at Mr.. Guzeman's Of
flee in Droop's Music House, where the sale
of seats has clready progressed far beyond
all expectation.
YALE COLLEGE GLEE CLUBS.-Quite
the social event of the season seems the
local appearance of the combined musical
clubs of Yale, January 4, at National
Rifles Hall. The students promise to pre-
sent such program as has never before
peen onered by an organization of college
men. The clubs comprise, as heretofore,
the pick of the university musicians, only
TINS year they claim to have had better
material to pick from than ever before and
are therefore swelling with importance and
pride over the prospective recurrent glory
to 'Old Eli
Few of our collegiate institutions can
boast so fine lot of young men or so rare
q quality of esprit de corps as actuates the
Boys from Yale" and the large number
OF local alumni may be depended upon to
make their holiday visit a memorable one.
Each year finds 1t So and 80 is no excep-
ton. apparently. Mr.. Guzman has the sale
OF seats at Droop's Music House.
JOHN BLA1R'S CLASSIC PLAYS.-At
2:l3 tomorrow afternoon. Mr.. John Blair
Will present the second of his series of
modern classic plays at the New National
Theater. The interest aroused by the SPLEEN
did production of FL Gran Galeoto has
manifested itself in an increased demand
for seats at this performance, which has
been received with great critical favor in
Boston and in New York.
