The following from the Wheeling
Intelligebcer shows how the Giee CLUB
was received in that city:
The West Virginia University Glee
and Mandolin Clubs, with the added
attractions in solo numbers % Miss
Elizabeth Hartigao, mandoliniss, sqd
MT Sydney Lloyd Wrightson, bari-
me, WIRE greeted by an arpreciative
and very enthusiastic audience at the
Court Theatre, last evening The
program was delightfully."- delivered,
the Mandolin work, with Miss Hsrti-
gan, soloist, and Mr. Ross Spence, ty
.eader of seconds, was effectively in
terpreted, and each renditiou was
heartily encored. Miss Hartigan-
whose former appearance in this cias
won for her many admirers, was en-,
Enthusiastically welcomed last night,
and deserved applause, and demand
for encore rewarded her splendid work.
The Glee Club was never heard to
better advantage in this city than in
its excellent performance throughout
last evenings concert. =. The precision,
attack and expression, In ca b rendi-
ton, was the subject of the highest
praise, making its work noteworthy,
and rejecting credit upon the conduc-
tor, Mr.. Sydney Lloyd Wrightson, now
dean Of the College of Music at the
University.
The gem of the first part OF the pro-
gram, was the singing Of Rudyard
KipliDg's Stein Song, in which Mr..
Wrightson took the solo part A repe-
tition OF the song was demanded.
After the intermission, at the re-
quest of many friends for solo from
Mr.. Wrightson, Professor Spence gra-
ciously introduced the singer, who ia
cetiously responded, saying that they
were on the road, to Introduce the
College ppf Music, not TO make money,
which Ne assumed his hearers recog-
nized, 10 scanning The house, and that
he hoped their work would please so
well that on their next visit they
would see larger audience. When
the applause subsided Mr.. Wrightson,
who is a favorite pupil OF William
Shakespeare, the most eminent OF Eo-
glish Instructors, sang exquisitey
1.-THE Voices OF the Night" His
voice, magnificent baritone OF large
range, he uses very artistically His
delivery is dramatic, coupled with
temperament and brilliancy, while his
pianissimo work as displayed in the
demanded beautiful encore number
30 That We Two We've Msying,p was
superb. Mr.. Wrightson's renditiuns
were genuine treats, and no more fin-
ished singing has been heard 10 this
city. He received an ovation and will
be heartily greeted on any subsequent
visit. The University OF West Vir-
ginia is TO be congratulated upon this
acquisition to its faculty, and Mr..
Wrightson is to be congratulated upon
his fine work as conductor, as evil
denced through the Glee Club per-
Torrance yesterday.
The second part OF the program
followed, closing with an expressive
and thoroughly enjoyable rendition Of
Dixie, an ensemble treat. The per-
sonnet combining to make an alto
gether delightful evening, follows:
