Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-02-05
U. OF P. GLEE CLUBS
Gave a Good Concert 10 a Small
 Audience.

I
 gathered in the Buckingham Music
 hall last evening to hear the concert
 rendered by the combined musical
 clubs of the University of Pennsyl- vania. There were not more than 200
 present. Although the concert was
 rather enjoyable, the hall was So cold
 that the chills ran up and down the
 backs of the audience. The heaters
 were red hot, but evidently the frigid
 air was coming in through the crevices
 of the windows. At any rate, no mat ter how it found its way, it was
 there. The members of the clubs when
 they were not playing, walked around the hall in an effort to keep warm.
 The opening number was selec-
 tion by the Glee club in two parts,
 Alma Mater," and Red and Blue." It was fairly well rendered. It was a typical U. of F. song and the Glee club made the hall ring with it. The number received an encore, as did the other selection during the evening. The Banjo club next put in an appear ance, renderingg the Zita selection, "Salvery Days" It was tuneful southern melody and was well liked by the audience. For an encore the club rendered jamboree which sounded like "Mauriaucci Down at Coney Isle"
 Daniel F. Luby, in his bass solo, T Love You So," was well received, but it was in his next selection, Good Night, Little Girl, Good Night" that he was at his best. Luby has pow erful voice and controls it we'll espec- ially in the lower tones.
 The Mandolin club on it's first en- trance gave sextette from Doni- zettis Lucia" It was tuneful num- Der. The Glee club followed with "Huzza," and for an encore rendered a little of everything, ending their encore with selection from Ut Hap pened in Norland.' In Southern Jollitication," the Banjo club was right at home and played itself into the good graces of the audience.
 The Mandolin club opened the sec ond part with a number from John- son called Pickles" It did not go very fast, but the audience wanted more and the club willingly respond ed to the encore. The Sunshine quar- tette was next heard. They sang the chorus of several popular airs, in- cluding, Much Obliged to You" Dreaming" q Just Can't Make My Eyes Behave" and "Budweiser."
 "A Peace Disturber" was the name of the next selection by the Banjo club. It was nothing more than Percy From Omaha" as rendered in this city by Miss Emma Carus. The college boys had the ma and pa pas sages down pat. The conclusion of the number was very amusing. The Episode Oriental" most suitable for the mandolins was given by the Man dOlin club and was followed by "Marchen," from Komzak, Op 135. The "Oskalooaaloo" Indian dance was not as warlike as similar numbers usual ly given by the collegians, but it was pleasing. The finals was a march song Flight for Penn," by the combined clubs. At the conclusion, the Penn rah, rah, rah yell was shouted, also the three big rahs for Waterbury It was a well selected programme, but there is a chance for much improvement in the work of all the clubs.
