Fourth Annual Concert.

The Mems Glee Club of Catholic Uni
versity presented its fourth annual con-
cert and dance last evening at the
National Press Club. The club is under
the leadership of DR.. Leo Behrendt. a
faculty member of the university, and
sponsored by the university.
The club shows distinct evidence of
having been we'll tutored, and each
selection is different in it's own way.
The program, which at first glance
might appear rather heavy, was I'M
usual in that it chung closely to the
classics, while many glee club programs
carry light, airy vein through their
entire course. The audience realized
the more classic quality. and seemed to
appreciate it.
The program opened with the singing
of the Alma Mater and was followed
by Billiards. Sword of Ferrara,' which
was given in a dashing. vigorous man
ner.
Vincent Walter, soloist of the evening,
rendered two selections, Giordani, "Caro
Mic Ben" and Mother of Pearl" His
singing was displayed to best advantage
when he sang in soft, touching tones.
DR.. Otto Rambler presented several
selections on the piano, among them
Rachmaninoff's prelude in G Sharp
Minor and "Andante movement from
Sonata Pathetique." His playing was
well receives.
The club then presented severai num-
bers, among which Sullivan's March OF
the Peers" was especially we'll rendered.
The guest of honor of the evening was
Michael MacWhite, Minister of the
Irish Free State.
