Carolina Glee Club
i To Present Program
The University of South Carolina
I Glee Club which plays here April 19,
I will, according to all indications, present
a program of much variety and
amusement. Reports are that the
club this year is one of the best that
the University has ever presented.
The first part of the program is of
a light classical nature, ^'made up
mostly of ensemble work by the entire
club. The songs are of a nature
that wiU be pleasing to all. The
group of negro spirituals are said to
be especially good.
Robert Jones, the well known young
baratone of Marion, S. C., is again
with the club and in the first part
will sing a group of semiclassical
numbers, while in the last part h6
sings Gene Austins latest number,
I "The Song I Love" and "Sweetheart
of all My Dreams."
Oliver Edwards*- another of the
soloists has a very pleasing ,tenor
I voice and sings two groups of songs.
' Rhettman Salvo, the piano soloist
of last year, is again with the club
and offers a group of solos that are
I worthy of a professional, so perfect
I is his expression and technique.
J The" "last part of the program is
lighter in nature than the first, but
in entertainment value it will surely
appeal to everyone.
I Those masters of harmony, the
"Riggins brothers" with their own
string accompaniments open their
part with the latest popular tunes,
among which is "Dream Train" one
of the, most beautiful numbers of "the
past few years.
There are numbers of other special
acts in this last part which no one
can afford to miss. Freddie Rumph,
the black fac</has a new act that
is a "wow." It is entitled "Selling
Whoopee."
| The program from beginning tg
'end? is fine, full of spice, fun, entertainment
and appeal.
