A GREAT ENTERTAINMENT
Varied Programs ever Heard
In the City.

The Dunbars are all right There
is no question but what the entertain
ment given by this remarkably strong
organization of young men at the Con
ninth number of the lecture course
was one of the best and most popular
musical entertainments ever offered
the amusement lovers of Grand juno
tion.
The lecture course management Sc
lected well when they chose the Dun
bars. They made n great big hit with
Grand Junction people and many last
night expressed the hope that they
will come this way again next season.
Harry Dunbar, Ralph Dunbar, Mr..
Robertson. and Mr.. Folgar. are
the members of the Dunbar male
quartette and hand bell ringers Each
gentleman is the possessor of Won
derfully varied share of talent In the
musicsal line.
Never was an audience more en-
never was local audience so liberal
in it's applause. Each and every Sc
lection rendered, brought forth reg
ular ovation and encore after encore
was demanded every time. Five and
six recalls were made several times at
the conclusion of a regular number.
The young men responded readily
and graciously to these almost end
less demands for encores.
Quartette selections, renditions on
the hand bells, numbers by the flute
and cello and plano, humorous read
ings and solos made the program
spicy, ever changing and did not give
room for single dull moment. Every
number was good, It would be hard
to tell just which were the best The
Dunbars are high class entertainers
in every sense of the word.
The opening number was the ballad
''The Old Brigade" rendered by
the quartette. 1t is one of the strong
est quartettes ever heard in the city.
The four voices blend together beau
tifully. Mr. Folgar. the bass and Mr..
Robinson, the tenor, are hard to eq-
ual. The Southern negro lullaby and
other cute little ditties given as en-
cores to this number were really ex-
quisite.
Then came the first number on the
bells, Nevin's glorious "Narcissus." "
This number awakened the highest
admiration from the big audience.
The seventy or more bells were ar
ranged on tables in the high pulpit,
and the manipulation of these hand
bells in perfect time, admirable uni,
son requires the greatest skill but
these natural born musicians are
yeritable masters of these sweet tom
ed instruments of the most delicate
music. For the encore the bell CHM
es from Faust" were played. This
rendition was absolutely divine, i'll
was more than inspiring. No num-
ber during the evening was more
thoroughly enjoyed. The reproduc-
ton of the organ peals mingled with
the chimes of the great bells was
marvellous to the extreme. As sec
ond encore the grand old hymn.
How Firm a Foundation" was rem
dered.
Selections on the flute and cello
with piano accompaniment came newt
Ralph Dunbar is master hand with
the cello and Harry Dunbar knows
we'll how to bring forth all that is
beautiful from the flute. The Hun
earian Dance" was the first selection
followed by a melody of Southern
airs and a light fantasy as encores-
The clear and sweet tenor voice OF
Mr. Robertson charmed the audience
with the solos "All For You" THE
Four Leaf Clover" and the Southern
lullaby.
one of the most powerful numbers
