SECOND LEGION CONCERT SUR
PASSES FIRST

n second of the Lyceum concerts
conducted under the auspices of the
Byron Pennington Croker Post, Ameri-
can Legion, was held in the High
School Auditorium on Friday evening
and the crowd attending outnumbered
the audience that turned out for the
first Of these concerts a few weeks
ago. The entertainers for this second
concert were 1.-THE Nipple Concert
Company" and included Azel A. Os-
born, violin and saxaphone player;
Chas. G. Skinner, cornet and saxa-
phone; Mrs. Earl Nipple, piano and
~saxaphone, and Earl H. Nipple, who
proved versatile in his handling of the
x%ylaphone, trombone, saxaphone,
drums and traps. AS the curtains
parted the orchestra struck up the
air Of Pride of the Navy March," and
then Mr.. Nipple introduced the various
members of his company to the au-
dience. For their first rogra num-
Der the concert company gave a Sc
lection from Verdi's al Trovatore."
For the c Mr.. Nipple showed his
skill at the drums and traps in a
novelty jazz number, "Drumology,'
in which every conceivable form of
drummer's effect were utilized. Mr..
Osborn showed his skill in a violin
solo, Reyfeld's Spanish Dance
Loudly encored, Mr.. Osborne respond
ed with Loves Old Sweet Song" This
encore was enhanced by a xylophone
accompaniment by Mr.. Nipple. Num-
Der four on the program was 1.-THE
Light Cavalry Overture" and the en-
core for this number gave Mr.. Nipple
an opportunity to use the trombone
to good advantage in a novelty num-
Der, Miss Trombone" Mr.. Skinner
now stepped forward in a cornet solo.
For his encore he duplicated his sue
cess of the first number with "The
Last Rose of Summer" Mr.. Osborn
again stepped into the limelight with
a violin solo. Under Mr.. Osborn's
lingering his violin brought out every
n of the rich tones of a famous COM
position. The trombone obligato
running through this number also en-
HANGED it's value to the audience. For
the encore the popular selection
"Tucky Home" was played well. A
trombone and cornet duet rendition
of Clark's Cousins" brought out the
bass tones of the orchestra. One of
the features of the evening now oc-
Cured in the rendition of Bucallosse's
Hunting Scene" This, a descriptive
selection, depicts the days of the old
English fox hunt, beginning with the
sunrise, birds singing, etc., and lead
| to kI-N,,-I T.. H. -a4.--- - IL l.-A
ers from the kill. AS rendered by the
Nipple Company the audience could
almost see the actual scene, and the
greatest applause of the evening was
given this number. The encore was
also a hit. This was ''The Whistler
and His Dog" Mrs. Nipple was now
the star and she gave a left-hand rem
dition of "Sextette from Lucia" This
composition is difficult to the skilled
artistic who uses both hands in the
playing. To do it entirely with the
left hand is a feat that is unusual to
say the least, and to do it as Mrs. Hip
pie gave it is wonderful. For her
encor she gave a comical pianologue.
A popular medley, arranged by Mrs.
Nipple, and including Nobody Lied
"3 o'clock in the Morning" and ala
bama Nanny" was next on the pro-
gram, and every foot in the audience
was set tapping to this selection. For
an encore the popular fox trot num-
Der, Stumbling" was given. At this
point the saxaphones were taken up
by the various musicians and a saxa-
phone quarter given. Mr.. Nipple now
had his xylophone brought to the
center of the stage and again scored
a hit with his solo rendition of LISTS
Second Rhapsody" Two encores were
demanded for this selection. The first
of these was 1.-THE Rosary" played
with four mallets, and the second was
"Pick Me Up and Lay Me Down." The
closing number Of the evening was a
medley of old southern melodies by
the entire orchestra, and as the ia
miliar airs were played the smiles of
memories could be seen creeping over
the faces of the audience. These
smiles fingered after the closing notes
had died out and the curtains had
come together once more, and as the
audience left the auditorium remarks
upon the success of the entertainment
could be heard coming from all
quarters. The success of Fridays
concert is almost a guarantee that
when the next concert takes place
there will not be an empty seat in the
auditorium. ~@sE-,
