PROFESSOR AND MRS. GEORGE
MORRISON HIGHLY ENTERTAIN
BROTHER AFTER TIVE LIVE
YEARS ABSENCE.

Joy III
AS are found in the pleasures of
earth"
The surprise sprung by Prof. and
Mrs. George Morrison of 255S Gilpin
ST., is proof beyond doubt that
MERIT WILL ALWAYS TELL, and
those whose good fortune 1t was to
be present last Monday evening Mt the
home of the Morrisons, can declare
that from midnight to the wee small
hours of the morn-"Joy reIgned su-
preme" in the entertainment of their
older brother, William, his wife and
mother-in-law. Enthusiastically, the Nor
rison boys Gas they are generally
spoken of have been famous in the
Midwest for many years, and the cit
others have always contributed their
share of praise for their efforts; but
they had to launch out to be taught
the lessons of the school of experience,
and having thus achieved, they have
made great impressions at all points
Of musical America. To give II de
tailed account of what transpired at
the beautiful home of Prof. and Mrs.
George Morrison would be ito gild re-
fined gold or paint the lily" Gas the
poet puts iD but George, as we call
him, is never lacking in anything his
ambition and aspiration offer, to pres
ent the best and most that within his
power lies, so that in the impromptu
celebration of his elder brother and
family, he Ito use the famous New
York expression) "strut your stuff
Miss LiZZy" and from the chorus of
commendatiOn of the brothers, the un-
usual genialty and hospitality of Mrs.
George Morrison and her mother Mrs.
Eva May, they cannot help from being
termed true representatives of our
people in art and everything pertain
ing to their intellectual and social de-
velopment. But the hosts actually
paled into comparative insignificance
when music, games and cards winding
ments which made us feel-"It was
well we lived in the days of Prohibit
tion or else"-that the enjoyment was
added to and the George Morrison or
chestra of Denver climaXed the situa-
ton with "Auld Lang Syne" in man
ner never to be forgotten, for the "Old
lore" was much in evidence from clas-
steal, to sentimental to jazz, to (who
said when the lights went OutD spe-
cial early morning permit when one
keeps within the boundaries of the
law. Time and only time will bring
back to our memory the day when our
fathers, yea our parents catered to u.s.
and the only result from the enjoy
ment engaged by their friends in the
splendid manner of entertainment can
be-that the old established family of
Morrison Bros. from Boulder Frat. to
Denver progressives must be i'm
pressed that ere long we are bound to
reach that goal by which recognition
will be given for talent. Mr.. Nor
rison's brother and family cannot help
from taking with them to their home
in Los Angeles the-beautiful reminis-
cences of Denver and the associates
and friends they met, and Mrs. Basket
mother of the Morrisons cannot but
be impressed with the fact-'That
success comes to those who walt" Be
sides the usual jolly companions of the
hosts and social set of Denver, the fol-
lowing out-Of-tow guests were: Mrs.
Alice T. Basket (mother of the Nor
risons), Mrs Reona Allen and Jack
Morrison of Kansas City, Mo-, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Q. Hanks of Washington,
d. c., the Misses Fields, Hunter and
Grant, Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Thorn
ton of Joliet, Ill. Mrs. Smith (mother
of Mrs. VIM. Morrison) of Los Angeles.
