However, the program rendered
last evening at the Methodist church
In this city by the Denver University
Glee Club was refreshingly different
from the formal order OF glee club
entertainments. 1t was different and
original in many respects. and there
fore it was immensely satisfactory.
The Denver University Club car
ries splendid orchestra: few glee
clubs do. The Denver University
Club has several young ladies among
its members: usually tho glee clubs
are composed entirely of young meL.
Again the Denver Glee Club has
dropped the mandolin club feature.
and this, In the opinion of many, is
a pleasing change.
The program was delightful and
interesting from start to finish. There
was not weak number. The only
criticism to be offered is that the
entertainment was too long; but that
was not the fault of the club: 1t was
the fault of the audience. as from
one to four encores were demanded
for every one of the sixteen regular
numbers.
The program consisted of orches-
trail selections. songs by the glee
club proper (seventeen male voices)
readings, vocal solos. violin solos
and quartet numbers.
The orchestra. consisting of eight
pieces, six young men and two la
dies, performed exceedingly we'll
The medley of national airs was its
star number. Every selection was
superbly rendered.
The glee club is composed of fine
voices. well trained. clear and strong.
Perfect harmony and delightful
blending characterized each of the
singing numbers. 1t was truly one
of the best male singing companies
ever heard in the city.
Miss Leno Z. Cooper. the reader
and ihpersonator, completely
charmed the audience with her work.
She is one of the best readers heard
here in several years. She is entitled
to high rank. Miss Cooper's humor-
GUS numbers and character delinea-
tfons were admirable. She has
wonderful control of her voice in de-
lineatlng different characters requir-
ing quick changes of voice, and her
facial expression is marvellous. Miss
Cooper was forced to respond to
many encores. She added great
strength to the program.
Miss Lisle Brownell has one of the
sweetest. clearest, contralto voices
imaginable. Clear. flexible. under
perfect control, rich III volume and
delicate in its delivery. Miss Brown
ellis voice marks her as a sololst of
magnificent qualifications. She sings
with remarkable ease. Her numbers
We're delicious.

was most successful in her rendition
She Is decidedly gifted In her hand
ling of the king of musical instru-
ments. Her playing called forth the
unalloyed admiration of her audi
ence. Her numbers were exquisite
! Tho quartet composed of Messrs
Duncan, Miller. Lisle and Green was
responsible for large share of the
evenings pleasure. Each member

Loves Old Sweet Song and while
Have You" were the quartets s
strongest numbers. The various en-
cores. all humorous, were enthusias-
tically received.
1t was a delicious entertainment
throughout, pronounced by many the
best glee club entertainment ever
given here. Surely hone have been
better
The audience was large; but it is
to be regretted that the big church
was not crowded to Overlooking.
