CRITERION MALE
QUARTET TUESDAY

Probably no form of musical enter
tainment is more popular or attract
i've than the male quartette, and in
the "Criterions" our committee has
secured one of the very best on the
American platform. Winnemucca
music lovers are very fortunate in
deed in having the privilege of hear
ing them.
The dearth of high class entertain
ments such as lectures and music af-
ford has been noticed by many peo-
pie.
Because they feel the need of such
in their own lives and know that
nothing is more conducive to a gen.
eral uplift of the community a num-
ber of the men of this town have as
sociated themselves together for the
purpose of bringing a few lecturers
and musicians here this season.
The course will consist of five num-
bers.
The opening number will be given
Tuesday evening, October oath, at the
High school. The Criterion Glee club
will furnish the entertainment This
is a male quartet with several years
experience together on the platform.
They consist of Alvin L. Wilson,
first tenor and piano soloist; Frank
w. Grover, second tenor and cartoon
ist; Cliff R. Cline, baritone and ac-
companist; Walter A. Wood, basso
and humorist.
The Criterion Glee club has made
an enviable reputation upon the con-
cert platform. 1t is composed of four
musicians, with beautiful solo voices
which blend perfectly They have
been associated together for several
years in high grade concert work,
and, with the aid of Mr. Growers
crayon sketches, Mr.. Woods charac-
ter songs, and piano solos by Mr.. Will
son, present a program of unusual
attractiveness and charm.
Their repertory is extensive and
varied, consisting of classical selec-
tions, both secular and sacred, folk
songs, popular ballads, pathetic and
humorous numbers and plantation
melodies.
The Criterion organization is
founded upon the basic principle that
the world loves good music-good
classical, good popular and good
musical selections-and feel assured
that the public at large will appre-
ciate and respond to an entertain
ment of such exceptional merits and
ability.
This Organization has made a fine
impression wherever it has appeared
if we may judge by the press COM
ments. For instance, Wichita, Kan
sas: Their programs are in no sense
conventional or dull; there is a sur
prise every minute. They sing all
kinds of good songs, always delight
fully and always in perfect taste"
Wichita Falls, Texas: "And how
they can sing! Every man is finish
ed soloist-not the ordinary kind but
the out-of-the-ordinary kind and their
voices blend perfectly"
The Enterprise, Livingston, Mont,
said: Thine and again the Criterions
were enthusiastically encored and
the entertainment of the evening sur
passed expectations The quartet work
was delightful and all the voices were
in thorough harmony
We all know that a good male quar-
tet can give as much delight for an
evening as can be given. This is es-
pecially true when they are full of
vim and life. The company we have
listed is high-priced attraction and
we have every reason to believe that
it will meet our highest expectations.
This popular entertainment is
scheduled for Tuesday evening, Octo-
ber "a.
