THE AUBURN GLEE CLUB

NN F fat rest to many Birmingham It y people is the coming of the Au-
 burn Glee club tomorrow even ing. for they represent the singing ele- ment of the famous Alabama Tech"
 There are hundreds of the Auburn alumni in this city who will delight to honor the boys, and hundreds of others who only know Auburn as a great school of learning, who will be pleased to make acquaintance with this famous institution through the Glee club. still hundreds of others will attend the concert because of the warm comrade ship which exists between them and the personnel of the club.
 When the advance guard" for the club was here last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a number of the clever young men, and among them one whom I have known and loved from childhood, Eugene R. Johnston, the taI- ented son of our own MT. and Mrs. Richard F. Johnston of this city.
 From childhood this sterling young man, with all of his other intellectual resources has loved music. for Whcn he has a decided talent, but how could that be otherwise, when his lovely mother has given so much pleasure to Birmingham audiences in the days gone by with her beautiful voice, and his wonderful father such a charming per former on the violin? It is only natural that this clever young man should in- herit this talent from his parents and he has, and his scores of friends will have the pleasure of finding this out themselves when the Glee club appears here tomorrow evening.
 Many of the old time friends of Eu- gene Johnston's mother and father re- member how, as a little baby boy, Eu- gene sang in his pretty little high tenor voice the accompaniments to the "lulla- bies' that were sung to him by his faithful old nurse, Clara" showing at an early age that he had remarkable musical talent.
 Grown to young manhood now he has developed the beautiful talent which he has inrehited, and today he is a shining light in the Auburn Glee club a member of the quartet and one or the most enthusiastic and influential supporters of the big organization.
 As graduate of the South Highlands Grammar school and a graduate of the Birmingham High school, and a sopho- more at Alabama Tech" this nice Bir-' mingham boy has scores of friends who will enjoy hearing what he has 10 say about the Auburn Glee cluD, WHICH we are to have the pleasure or nearing tomorrow evening:
 "We think we have about the finest Glee club in the world" said Mir John- ston. when he was telling me about the spring tour now being made. "We have some very good voices, all more than mediocre, and a bunch of the dandiest fellows in the south"
 Continuing, he said:
 "This. the forty seventh successful season of the Glee club, marks it as the best year in our history. Our club IS larger than usual consisting of 30 men. We have numerous specialties, includ- ing our saxophone and vocal quartets, which have met with approval wher-

 "The Mandolin club which has made it a rule to accompany the Glee club on it's tours every year, consists of only four men this season, but they make music which equals, If not surpasses' any in our history. The soloists, Messrs: Hornady of Birmingham, walker or Birmingham, Justice of Prattville and Johnston of Sheffield are unusually good. and are sure to make large hit with the Birmingham audience
 "Practically every man on the club saw service with Uncle Sam, either here or lover there and the per sonnel includes 10 men who won their commissions in the service" said MT. Johnston, proudly.
 "The club has just returned from an extensive trip through Georgia, and so far this year has been a very success ful one, both financially and musically and is backed by wonderful display of college spirit.
 "Our tour has extended as far as Atlanta" said MT. Johnston, and our usual engagement at Brenau college, Gainesville, was fulfilled.
