191T CIARLA GLEE CLUB SEASON 1915-1916 AS REFLECTED BY THE NEWSPAPERS “The rapid progress made in the rehearsals of the Glee Club seems to confirm the hope that this will be the best season that the Glee Club at Muhlenberg has ever had.” If we may consider the above excerpt from the Muhlenberg of December 8, 1915, as a proposi- tion, then the following excerpts taken from newspapers of various towns in the Glee Club itinerary will serve to demonstrate in how far a mere hope has become a reality: “The material of this year’s club is of exceptional merit. The musical numbers are high grade, full of vigor, new and unsual. The members of the Quartette possess well-trained voices and are excellent actors.” — Sellersville Herald. “A number of solos were rendered during the evening. A piano solo, “Hungarian Rhapsody,” by Dalton F. Schwartz, being worthy of special mention. A delightful violin solo was also given by Russell J. Baker, which brought forth much applause.” — Scranton Republican. “The program was varied in its character, the rendition of which was highly classic in its type. Mr. Mader delightfully entertained with several bass solos, which displayed a wonderful voice of which he has perfect control.” — Wilkes-Barre Record. “ Friday night ' s concert is regarded as one of the best ever given in Lancaster by the Glee Club. The second part of the program was a playlet, entitled “The Love Bug,” which was pronounced as the feature of the evening. William G. Wahl kept the audience in a continuous uproar by his jokes and antics.” — Lancaster Intelligencer. “The popular organization has been heard here in past years, but never to better advantage than on this occasion which was marked by the presence of a large and cultured audience which attested its appreciation of the high character of the music in no unmistaken manner.” — Lebanon Daily News. “This year the club will sing in twenty-two different cities and towns. They could get twice the number of engagements, for wherever they appear they are always desired again.” — Allentown Morning Call. The following excerpt, also from the Scranton Republican, forms a fitting conclusion to this brief survey of the Glee Club successes: “Under the directorship of Harold K. Marks, assisted by Carl A. Erickson, ' 16, the Glee Club has reached a degree of excellency that it surpasses any up to this time.” 153
