Robert Lane Hands Out
Inside Done OF Glee
Club
BY ROBERT c. LANE
An Alumnus of Mercer,

4 1t is earnestly requested by those
in charge of the Mercer Glee and
Mandolin club performance tomor-
row night at thh High school auditor
ium that the program as announced
be read by the readers of the Times
Recorder. In reading the program
one should notice the arrangement
of the various numbers, but first of
all the numbers themselves should be
scrutinized
Every music lover simply enjoys
good quartette. 1t will be noticed
that the Mercer Quartette appears
three times on the program. 1t is
composed of men with trained and
cultivated voices, and the number of
times they appear on the program
gives the audience ample opportunity
to encore them until their supply of
quartette music is exhausted. 1t must
be remembered that college boys can
pull quartette stunts that no other
clan can afford to pull.
"Uncle John Faulkner" the reader
with the club, is in class to himself
| Uncle John presents a most pleasing
appearance, and was once upon a
time slated to become minister of
the gospel, but destiny took hand
and by the sign on the wall "Uncle
John" will in all probability be
come public reader in chautauqua
Next on the program comes the ia
nous "Nuts." They are known by
their comrades as 'Tzzy" and "Small-
poX," but to the ordinary public,
they are known as Oscar Weaver
Burnett and Ned Warren. These
two individuals have been playing
the role of fools all of their lives,
and because of the fact that they
PLAYED as fools together last wear,
and also the further fact that it is
natural for them to do so, their
part on the program will be doubly
enjoyable.
There is another quartette that
does not appear on the program as
| published, because this number has
/ been added since the last perform
| ance. 1t is a real musical quartet,
made up of four musical instruments,
namely a piano, saxaphone, clarinet
| and banjo. This should be a fea-
ture on any Glee club.
Now comes the Mandolin club,
which has been the main hit on the
club for the past two years, and ev-
cry member of last years club is
with the present club. If they were
travelling by themselves they would
deserve the price of admission. The
features of the club are "Dardan-
ella" and my Gal" There are
eleven members of the Mandolin club
and every member is more or less a
jazz baby.
The three feature songs Of the
Glee club are Rings" ''Dear Heart
and "Let The Rest of the World Go
By" H. P. Fleming is the soloist
with the club. and has received much
attention by the Macon music lovers,
where he has sung for the last few
years.
Every number Of the program is
designed to be full of glee and laugh
ter. The High school auditorium af-
fords a clean and comfortable place
| for such an entertainment. The ad-
mission prices are 75c and soc. War
tax will be paid by the management
