The Marshalltown Y. NJ. G. A. was
one OF the fortunate ones in being
able to secure the Vassar Girls for
one evening of it's entertainment
course. Here are some of the things
said about this great musical organi-
cation:
This company is the outgrowth of
an ideal. About ten years ago gen.
tleman Of some means and liberal in
clination conceived the idea Of educat-
ing double quartet Of girls for high
class concert work With ample means
and not impatient Of time, he selected
from the wide circle Of his acquaint-
aimee eight girls OF superior character
and musical ability and furnished
them means to complete their literary
and musical education, guiding the lat
ter in the direction Of their contem-
plated work.
The selection Of the personnel OF
company five years in advance Of their
first engagement, is something unique
in the history OF company organization
and gives the Vassar Girls a distinc-
ton enjoyed by no other. After these
years of schooling and special prepare
ton, the eight original girls appeared
in concert in an eastern city and their
success was instantaneous, and emf
nently justified the time, expense and
work required to perfect their musical
education make solo artists of each In
dividual and make them unit in
their ensemble work.
For five years, this company of
educated, cultured and refined young
women has honored It's name, the
Eight Vassar Girls, in a high class
musical event in the best advanced
vaudeville in the leading cities Of the
United States, and has demonstrated
as have many of the great artists OF
the world, that good, clean musical
event of superior quality, free from
amy suspicion of coarseness or cheap
ness wins appreciation and applause
on it's merits everywhere So great
mas been their success that practically
all of their time for five years has
been consumed in return date work in
twenty or thirty cities thru which they
made their first tour, such as New
York, Philadelphia. Buffalo, Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Cincinnati Chicago, Mime
apolis, st. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha,
Denver and San Francisco, where ever
increasing audiences have greeted
them.
After. prolonged negotiations we have.
by means of a guarantee of a fancy
salary, induced them to give a part
of their time to the Lyceum. Their
concert will be the. big event of the
year on those courses fortunate enough
to secure date. 4.
