Troubailours Plcase.

byron louDauOurs gave little
over four hundred Grand Junction
people two hours of very enjoyable
music at the Congregational church
last night. The length of the pro-
gram was made greater by the num-

musicians.

made. they were garbed in Central
American costumes - white with
scarlet sashes and somberos. They
carried their orchestra equipment
and with an overature opened the
program which developed into var

mental, with occasionally a number
standing head and shoulders above
the rest in excellence.
The identity of the members of the
company has not been divulged eth
er in advance literature nor on pro-
grams. Chas. r. Byron being the on
ly one the audience recognized. He
was the accompanies and pianist.
The overature was followed by a
pleasing saxophone solo Alice

A tenor soloist, one of the best
singers in the company, gave song

Funny Proposition"
When the exquisite melody of the
harp, violin and cello were blended
into trio number, the climax of the
concert seemed to have been reach

You Truly" carried the audience in
to dreamland of pleasure and gent

encore and again were carried along
a billow of sweet harmony.
A saxophone quintette, with the
bass saxophone big enough to swal-

pleasing and was received with loud
applause. Sweet and Low" was the
response of the troubadours and fol-

which the suits were changed to the
toreador costumes. the company gave
the Toreador song with the baritone
