Now the GIee Club
and u. D. C. Dance

dlll W ID Go WallgG
Were you feeling just trifle
sad, thinking that all the gala good
times were over, now that the
Charity ball was done-and the
Spring Festival passed?
Indeed not so!
Next before the footlights comes
the annual reception and dance of
Pelham chapter, United Daughters
Of the Confederacy, when between
500 and 600 persons each year
usually are guests.
This is slated to take place in the
Tutwiler ballroom the evening of
April 16.
And It's big feature is something
we all are proud of-the University
Glee club.
This makes the fourth year that
the Glee Club has been the magnet
to gather as many people as the
Charity ball, and old folks, young
folks, mothers and fathers, grand
parents and aunts are perennially
there.
Confederate Veterans, clad in
uniform, always give the touch of
pride and sentiment to the occa-
sion.
Tom Garner, whom most Of US
know, and who is director for the
Glee Club, has been getting an ova-
ton everywhere he has taken the
club this season, and one paper
sings out:
"There wasn't anybody in OUR
town bored when they heard those
chapsv'
Course college boys always at
tract-are always loved, and IT'S
said that when some Of the fellows
on the program set out to repre-
sent female folk, the laughter is
loud and calliope-like.
In addition, the numbers, which
will keep the audience patting its
foot-or wanting to-will, says
Mrs. Hubert Scruggs, be new and
varied. Mrs. Scruggs is the pres
ident of Pelham chapter.
There are choruses, popular mel
odies, and some old reliable Ala
oama songs that everybody loves
10 hear. Again, there are several
lolos sung by men with exceptional
yoices and
A we'll blended quartet gives
versions Of Rigoletto.
There are novelty orchestra and
Itringed instrument performers.
A soft-shoe dancer does stunts.
A violinist> or two is introduced.
And the infinitely popular Stark
Padgett is call there" with his or
iginal jazz compositions.
The event Is to be great public
one, to which everybody who loves
the Confederate Veterans, and who
is interested enough In their well
fare and in the erection Of monu-
ments to the deceased heroes Of the
South, to pay the fare and attend.
Strangers will find the setting
peculiarly and old-fashionedly
Southern.
Mrs. Robert Bell, vice president
Of Pelham chapter, has been Sc
lected as chairman for the event.
The decorations are to be all in
crimson and white. And that re-
veals strange coincidence.
The u. D. C. colors and the
University colors are the same. So
you can take your choice which
meaning Is dearer to you!
Alway+always the girls wear
the prettiest Of spring frocks to
these Glee Club occasions; and how
attractive will be the grand march
led by the Birmingham alumni
and alumnae.
For both men and women grad
yates of the university will take
part.
Guests from all parts Of Alabama
have written their intention Of
being present. From the surround
ing districts, groups Of folk Will
also motor in, while many Birming-
ham chaps who attend school at the
University will be here to visit
parents and root for the home
squad Of singers.
After the main U. D. c. program,
dancing will go on till it's long past
\ sleepy time.
