frequently referred to as: THE big
concert Of the season." -four fine
singers and almost equally good in
strumentalists;;" has developed into
one of the leading organizations of its
kind in the country" and similar notes

character delineations, and comedy
talking sketches combined with real
quartet music are the features promi
1ent in the program.
