Glee Clubs Applauded Joint Concert Combines Talents of Mixed Group
By JEAN JONES
A variegated program with numbers ranging from patriotic music to the popular semi-classical scores of Sigmund Romberg characterized the program given by the combined men's and women's glee clubs last night in Hoch auditorium.
The first group of numbers opened with the singing of the National Anthem by the combined clubs led by Joseph Wilkins.
Then Hene Peabody directed the women's glee club in the "Pledge to the Flag," (Malotte) a short invocation of somewhat ecclesiastical tone. The men's club returned with "This Is My Country," (Jacobs-Ringwald). The first group closed with the two clubs singing, largely in unison, Jack Laffer's "Onward Kansas." This number was particularly stirring and gave the groups an opportunity to produce plenty of volume.
Men Presented Second Part
The men's glee club, led by Joseph Wilkins, took over the second part of the program. Their renditions of "The Creation," (Richter) a solid piece of choral writing, "John Peel," a hearty English hunting song; and "Land-Sighting," (Grieg) proved conclusively that fine workmanship, pleasing tone qualities, and satisfying volume are not dependent on a large number of men in the club. Howard Sutherland's baritone solo in "Land-Sighting," was particularly well received.
The third group consisted of a blithemese quintet of songs by the women's glee club, directed by Irene Peabody. Three folk songs, "Morning Now Beckons," (Czechish) "The Eagle," (Russian) and "Three Captains," (Czechish) were presented with suppleness and grace. Chaminade's "Evening Prayer" with solges by Maxine McGrannahan and Norma Lute had pleasing chime effects. "Goosie Goosie Gander," an old nursery rhyme set to music in the style of Mozart, contained a large amount of contrast. Marjorie Dickey capably handled the brief alto solo.
Comedy Numbers Were Fifth Part
Comedy Numbers Were Fifth Part
A series of comedy numbers entitled "Victory Garden Plots" occupied the fifth spot on the program. In "Planting Popular Tunes," Virginia Gsell, Esther DeBord, Betty Gsell, and Marjorie Dickey sang "Manhattan Serenade" and "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody," arranged by Thela Lehman, 42. Next "Blustery Blowing Blasts," featuring the Jayhawk Octette with a personnel of Jack Dodds, Glenn Lessenden, Matias Heuertz, John Hayne, Alan Martinek, Howard Sutherland, Clark Hargiss, Joe Stockard, Joe Nelson, and Jack Hines, showed the variety of musical sounds that can be produced from water-filled bottles. The calliope effects of "In the Good Old Summertime" were popular with the audience. In "Dising Dizzy Daisies," the women's glee club interpreted musically the idyll of two bicyclists, Everta Smith and Mathias Heuertz. The Jayhawk Octette returned to burlesque "Rigoletto." Jack Dodds portrayed the uninhibited Thespian.
Two Clubs Joined In Finale
As a finale, the two clubs, led by Joseph Wilkins, joined to sing two rousing excerpts from Romberg operettas, "Your Land and My Land," and "Stout Hearted Men" and the current number "This Is Worth Fighting For," (DeLange and Stepe). In line with tradition, the concert

His 'Eye' Starves ★★★ Tailor Appeals
Chicago, (INS)—Ferdinand D. Casanave, blind merchant tailor, sought from his rationing board to day 1 to 1 to 1-2 pounds of fresh ground beef daily for his seeing-eye dog, "Slim," which he claimed means to him "the difference between independence and dependence."
"Slim", a German shepherd dog obtained from the Seeing-Eye institute at Morristown, N. J., developed malnutrition some time ago and was put on a fresh meat diet, and veterinarians said the dog would become ill without the beef, Casanave said.
Casanave has been blind six years
Meat Packer Too Has Meatless Diet
Chicago, (INS) — Like everyone else in the nation, Oscar F. Mayer, one of the country's great packers, went on a meat ration yesterday, his 84th birthday, without any inconvenience to himself.
"I don't eat meat, not even my own products," Mayer chuckled. "I prefer poultry and fish. I never expected to see the day, however, when there would be a meat shortage in Chicago."
Mayer cooked his own birthday dinner, a saddle of moose which he brought back from a hunting trip in Canada last fall. He was also found in a chef's apron, roasting a turkey for his family. Cooking is Mayer's hobby.
Guests at Mayer's birthday dinner included Oscar G. Mayer, president of the Mayer Packing Company and Edward Collins, a son-in-law who is a distinguished concert pianist and composer.
