MUSICAL CLUBS WESTERN TRIP

During the Spring vacation the combined Musical Clubs, augmented by a few specialty act performers, made a western tour of fourteen concerts. This trip was the most ambitious and at the same time the most successful yet attempted by the clubs. At all places they scored a marked success, and many a.time received ovations such as have never before been accorded these or- ganizations. All the reviews of the concerts gave the Musical Clubs high praise.

J. W. Embree '21, in a dance act, was the star of the specialty actors. R. P. Bird '21, G. D. Beattie '21, and H. J. Cleary '21, won great applause with a collection of popular songs. A new feature of the program was the instrumental trio consisting of G. A. Hamilton '23, violinist, G. D. Beattie '21, cellist, and D. E. Cobleigh '23, pianist. , Their leading selection was a ballad recently written by Hamilton. One of the most popular numbers of the concerts was the violin solo by E. H. Rubens '23.
