tremely popular with the audience.
 Tn this part of the program there were two groups by the Glee Club. Tn the first Professor Bouvier's adept handling of the singers was par ticularly noted in Brothers, Sing On and Sailing Home, the Ringwald arrangement of the latter offering the club soloist, John J. Mcdonald, Jr, a fine chance to display his considerable talent.
 MT. McDonald's efforts were also noteworthy in the second number of the second group another Ringwald arrangement, this time of Liszt's Dream of Love. Stebbins' Song of the Sea was also splendidly sung.
 The sprightly and familiar airs from Victor Herbert's Mademoiselle Modiste completely enthused the audience as the second half of the program began. It was followed by Bizet's Agnus Del in which the tenor work was carried by George Curley of Boston, son of former Governor James M. Curley. In the same group was heard the vibrant song of Mana-Zucca, I Love Life, in which the voices of the Glee Club really reechoed through spacious Buckingham Hall.
 The first solo of the evening brought strong round of applause for Everett E. Hewitt's adept and scholarly playing of the familiar Czardas. MT. Hewitt's violin work was so much appreciated that he returned with an encore, offering Ri,nsky -Korsokoff's Song of India in inuted but appealing fashion.
 Tenor Soloist
 MT. McDonald's long awaited ap- pearance as tenor soloist was 8 com- plete frlfillment of all that had been said of him. He opened with Victor Herberts Thine Alone and followed with Bartlett's, A Dream, the latter particularly bringing out the fine qualities and strength of his voice. As an encore he dis played even m ore tonal quality, If this were possible, with a very fine number, the signature melody Of the Firestone radio program = In My Garden.
 America My Wondrous Land was & spine -tirgling finale for the con- cert, exceptionally fine work in the percussion section of the orchestra being noted.
 William K. Rutledge proved a fine accompanist throughout the pro- gram. Professor Bouvier accom- panied the two soloists.
 Singing of the Alma Mater song with the audience joining in con- cluded the program.
 Dancing was enjoyed later in the evening, the music being furnished by The Crusaders, directed by Albert R. Dwyer of the class of lo4l.
