After play- ing Debussy's "Claire de Lune" and Mac Dowell's "Polonaise, E Minor" Schuman received the applause that he deserved. Later on in the evening, after rendering Bach's "Allegro, F Minor" and "Troika en Traineaux" of Tschaikowsky, Mr. Quality sent PA Shuman, to everyone's delight, played as an encore the "Eighth Prelude" of Chopin. The Glee Club also had a pleasant sur- prise for their audience. A ripple of merriment went over the hall as the Club sang the "Angling Rhymes" of Williams. The audience thought the selection was to the head over before it really was and started to applause only to be surprised by a musi- cal interlude and a chorus-conclusion. George Hoffenberg, assisted by Mal- colm J. McRae, accompanist, entertained the audience with three violin numbers: Kreisler's "Liebsleid" and the "Indian Love Call" of Friml-Kortschak, with of the "Among My Souveniors" as an encore. In the second part a very sharp contrast was evident, between an encore of the Collegians and the majestic Latin num- bers that followed. Special thanks are due Robert E. Bruce, who so ably accom- panied the Glee Club on the organ. The religious numbers not only were rated class highly by musical critics but also pleased the audience. The majestic dignity and sacred tone in which they were sung proved that the already evident ability of the troubadours was as versatile as it was excellent. Authorities on sacred music who were in the audience asserted that these Latin numbers were indeed ex- tremely well rendered and were very im- pressive. Favorable comments have also been received from other critics especially as to the classical nature of the program and the manner in which the concert was YEARS ago, P.
