86 MALE QUARTETS Whitney Brothers Quartet This fine organization, which is composed of four brothers, is quite well-known to patrons of the various Lyceum courses, and the brothers have thousands of admirers, especially throughout the Middle West. It is rare to find in one family four gifted sons, and rarer still to find four with voices so placed that they can assume the several partsin a male quartet. The Whitney Brothers sing both classical and popular songs in a most artistic manner and in their concerts give an entire evening’s programme without other assistance. 31723 (1) Excelsior—Up-to-Date (2) Fishing 12 5635 Hail Smiling Morn old English Glee Spofforth 10 5628 Sally in Our Alley Carey 10 31724 The Cheerful Wanderer Mendelssohn 12 5629 The Little Red Drum (Poem by Eugene Field) Gibson 10 Orpheus Chorus of Upsala, Sweden Solo by A. Wallgren, Baritone 52006 Can It Comfort (Kan det tréste) Kjerulf 10 The Swedish people are celebrated for the fine singing organizations which flourish everywhere in the villages and towns, and Swedish chorus singing is considered the best in the world. A fine example of the beautiful work done by these societies is here offered. No more exquisite pianissimo effects could be imagined than are produced here by the Orpheus, while Mr. Wallgren exhibits a rich and cultivated voice in the solo. Peerless Quartet 5481 Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming Foster 10 The Peerless has given a very fine rendition of this beautiful old serenade 5603 Medley of Popular Airs 10 The medley includes “‘ When It’s Moonlight, Mary, Darling,’’ *‘ When the Sheep are in the Fold,”’ ‘‘ Tennessee Tessie,” ‘‘ Sweetheart Days.”’ 5562 Old Black Joe Foster 10 One of Stephen Foster’s widély known songs, which has been translated into many different tongues and sung in many different lands. The Peerless has given a vigorous and yery musical rendition of this beautiful old darky song. 5652 Rainbow Medley 10 Three songs of present, popularity in a most attractive form. The numbers used are: “ Roses Bring Dreams of You;” “In Dear Old Grandma’s Days’’ (which introduces ‘Swanee River’’ and ‘* Dixie’’), and ** Rainbow ’’—the arrangement of the latter song being an unusually clever one. Peerless Quartet with orchestra 5701 The Day of the Game From The Fair Co-ed Luders 10 A rollicking, rousing (and possibly somewhat noisy!) record of the sounds heard at the college game. The breezy atmosphere of the field has been caught and faithfully recorded — the songs, cheers, rooting and hooting which seem indispensable parts of an intercollegiate contest. A lively record which is bound to make as big a hit with the Victor public as it has with the audiences who have heard the number in Elsie Janis’ new production. §392 Women From The Merry Widow Lehar 10 A lively concerted number from this famous success.
