' ORPHEUS FOUR PLEASES

Celebrated Male- Quartet Sang
- Before Large Audiences in
"Y" Buildings.
V Although the coining of the Orpheus
Four, male quartet; wa?> delayed
one day, the anticipation made' the
realization more Impresalve and. pleaaI
ing. They arrived in cam^ late Friday
night and were brought direct
from the train to Y 103 and after
pleasing about 400 men there for a
half-hour they were taken to the Base
hospital where another audience was
waiting them at Y 282.
* The quartet was willing and ready
with any and all kinds of music and
that pleased the soldiers at Y 103 and
Y 106. Concerts were given Saturday
night to packed houses and the same
cordial reception greeted them and
1 Monday night they gave still another
concert at Y 104 and Y 105.
The soldiers appreciated every
number and among the best rendered
was "The Rosary." "The Barnyard."
and a take off on "Then I'll Come
i Back to You." The latter brought
' the house down every place and so
many of the boys have asked for the
words that Trench and Camp is giving
them in this issue. It is sung to
the same tune as the song by that
name.
