MDSICAL CONCERT HERE
Large Audience Hears Quartet
Sing Friday Night. Best Quar
tet Ever Heard at Elon.
SEVERAL GOOD SOLOS
The Criterion Quartet of New York,
consisting of H. Denton Bastow, tenor;
Frank Mellor, tcnoi’; George Reardoji.
baritone, and Frederick Thomas, basso,
accompanied by Miss Katharine Gog-
gai:s, piauiste, was heard last Friday
night ill the Whitley Auditorium buihi-
iiig of Elon College in the initial num
ber of the concert course of the Music
Lovers’ Club. A large and most ap
preciative audience was present, and
from the very first moment of the open
ing number. “Twilight,’’ by Buck, was
thrilled by the exquisite beauty of
tone, perfect phrasing, and blending of
the voices.
Each member of the quartet gave so
lo numbers. Frank Mellor, the tenor,
sang “Rodalfo’s Narrative’* from
“LaBohema” by Puccini, and for an
encore sang “Duna” by McGill. It
would 1)0 difficult to comment adequate
ly upon Mr. Mellor ’s singing. His voice
is of that rare type and quality which
one thinks of as silvery and bell-like
in its clearness.
The Bai-itone soloist, George Rear
don, sang a double number, “Smilin’
'ritrough ’' by Penn and “Volga Boat
man’s Song’' by Bromberg, adiling
much to the joy of the latter b.y des
cribing its origin. He resi^onded to an
encore by .singing “The Crow's Egg,”
a liumorous sketch song, whicIi was
much appreciated, S.‘specially by ttTT
children present. His fine baritone
voice lent itself admirably to these
three songs,—the tenderness and al
most pathetic characters of the first,
and the dramatic and stirring nature of
the second.
Mr. Bastow, tenor, also sang a double
number, “Blind Ploughman,” by
Horseman and “Young Tom Odevon,”
by Russell, and also an encore “Banjo
Song,’’ by Perry. His voice has all
the fine quality of a tenor and in ad
dition, breadth of tone.
The bass soloist, Frederick Thomas,
sang “Rolling Down to Rio,” by Ger
man and an encore “A Man’s Song”
by O’Hara. Only a ricli deep bass
voice can bring out the tones in these
songs in their fullness, but Mr. Thomas
has a most remarkable range and has
Riiiplo depth and to spare.
Miss Katherine Goggans of Ashe
ville. N. C., was accompanist of the
evening and her work at the piauo was
artistic and in sympathy with the solo
ists. never overbalanced. She played
“Aiabesque” by Debussy, and was
heartily applauded, but merely respond
ed with bows. Her work both as solo
ist and accompanist was very fine.
The entire program wa?» well chosen,
with delightful variety, and the quartet
was most generous in responding to the

BETA OMICRDN BETAS
ENTERTAINED TUESDAY
Hike and Camp Supper Afford Enjoy
able Outing.
The Beta Omicron Beta girls were
charmingly entertained on Tuesday af
ternoon by their honorary members,
Misses Hil[ .‘uil Fisher. The event was
a camp supper given at “God’s Room”
an ideal picnic site near Elon.
About four o’clock the enthusiastic
guests, with the hostesses left with
utensils and provisions. They were
joined by ^fesdames L. M. and C. M.
Cannon. A jolly bunch it was who
winded their way through the woods
stopping here and there to make pic
tures and singing between times.
No sooner had they reached their des
tination than wood was gathered and
bonfires made. In a short time the air
was filled with the odor of boiling cof
fee, broiling steak, toast, and roasting
corn, which increased greatly the al- •
readily growing appetites of this ener
getic group. To this menu was added
sandwiches, homemade cake, candies
and fruits.
After each had done her share of
eating, the bonfires were built up and
everyone joined together for a general
good time. Various games were played,
jokes were told and songs were aung.
Those rendered by Miss Fisher were
especially enjoyed. As the time for re
turning drew near each guest was given
an attractive souvenir in the form of a
balloon.
The fun was not over till they ar
rived and the campus and each went,
her way declaring the event had been.;
