A rare treat, to the musical loving
people of Fort Pierce, is in store when
on Wednesday, April IA, in the I'm
provement Club Hall the Chicago Glee
Club will give one of it's famous con-
certs. This club only plays in the
large cities, Jacksonville being the only
concert given in Florida, until the ladies
by making liberal guarantee received
an engagement for one evening only.
The Chicago Glee Club is one of the
best and most widely known male
quartets in this country. The club
which consists of j. w. Turner, first
tenor, D. F. Thomas, second tenor, e..
T. Henry, baritone and C. H. Dixon,
basso, have long been associated and
each voice is adapted to the other,
making a perfect blend, and although
all young men, each one is a finished
musician. The volume of their voices
is wonderful, while the pianissimo pas
sages are fine and harmonious, holding
their audiences in breathless attention.
Their repertoire is extensive, embracc-
ing the best of all classes of music
written for male voices, and many OF
their selections have been especially
written for them. Besides the vocal
numbers, the program comprises sew
eral novel features, one of them being
in the form of a quartette OF slide
trombones. These instruments are now
conceded to be at the head of all wind
instruments, and the effects produced
by this club approaches in sweetness
and volume the quality and power OF "a
pipe organ.
C.. H. Dixon, for several seasons, has
been giving readings as part of the pro-
gram, and his work is in the line OF i'm
presentations. He faithfully portrays
his character types and he is especially
strong in readings from James Whit
comb Riley. He has thorough con-
troll of facial expression and makes a
study of each character.
The club also renders several humor-
Gus numbers which are original and re-
freshing. A special feature is the
signging of sailor songs in costume.
With the several features, the club Is
able to present varied and artistic
