Notwithstanding that the Kansas
University Glro club was not booked
10 appear IN Albuquerque; and that
the people OF Albuquerque had but a
few hours notice that II would rem
der n concert here, the Elks' theater
last niwht was packed 20 standing
room when the layhawkers began
their program. The *. y. bunch APP
peared under the auspices Of the
Santa re Reading Room association.
They gave q program that proved to
be so fine that many people. who have
attended all the santa Re circuit glee
club attractions. during tho hast two
years. aid not hesitate 20 say that the
ISansana had all asgregatlons of a
similar kind backed of the boards
when II came 60 putting on a classy
show. The nGturalness and simplicity
OF the X. u. hoya appealed greatly TO
the audience ana there was appar-
ent throughout the evening close
bond Of fellow feeling ana friendship
between the entertainers and those
being entertained Tho program was
divided into two parts. In part one
the Kansans appeared IN immaculate
evening dress and we're very dignliied.
The selections by the club. quartette
and by individuals. during the first
part OF the program we're extremely
well rendered. "A Perfect Day" by
Mr. Smith and club, a Nearest
Thou" BY Mr.. Black and club and
Loves ola Sweet songs" by q quar-
tet were perhaps the best numbers
During the intermission between parts
one and two Mr.. Sewers. a most tale
cnted elocutionist. gave a reading
IN Texas. Down on the Rio Grandc,
which was remarkably we'll done, be-
ing more realistically rendered be-
cause OF an accompaniment by Mr.
Hates. the pianist. And speaking al
M Hates as a pianist and all round
good feliow--he In there all the way.
AS an encore Mr.. Sewers gave hu-
morous selection, Good Night Char
lie, which compelled the boys IN the
audience 10 kick themselves mentally
as they remembered similar occur
rences; and which caused the girls 70
blush violently.
In the second part OF the program
the X. T. lads rom7ed on 70 the stage
In regulation collegiate attire--black
sack coats and white pegged top
trousers with a six inch cum. Il was
evident that the Iayhawkers felt re-
lieved az getting away from the spik-
cd coats. stlff shirts and white gloves;
and the audience too. felt a triile
more az east II was during the sec
ond part that the boys manifested by
words and actions the college spirit
and were successful IN having tho con-
tarlon spread 70 the audience md cs-
tabiishing things on an altogether en-
thusiastlc basis. Players and audience
entered into the spirit Of the game
and caught the swing Of things quick
IL. When Mr. Musselman and the
club gave "IInogene Donohuo." all
bets were declared on. And when n
Only Had n Check From Home"
was done by Mr. Rhodes and the club,
there was a fratornal feeling all over
the house. "In the Garden" by Mr..
Black and the club: PLATTER a Man,
by Mr.. smith and club. and shadow

program was brought 10 an end al too
soon with the Jayhnwker yen and a
boost for the santa Re.
All In all the X. y. attraction was
a classy one on through. The man
who Supervised tho selection OF the
songs knew what he was doing, ana
when he selected the members OF the
glee club who were 20 make the trip
over the circuit he used the best OF
judgment.
