The University of Georgia Glee and
Mandolin club, which is on a tour vof
the state, will appear at the Opera
House in Americus Monday night,
March 24, under the auspices of the
War Camp Community Service. No

will be admitted for 35 cents, while

The Georgia Glee and Mandolin club
left Athens Thursday on its annual
tour of the state. On the schedule are
the following cities, visited in the or
der named: Madison, Milledgeville,
Macon, Americus, Columbus, Albany,
Barnesville, Rome and Gainesville,
After the club has returned to Athens

mencement.”
On the program for this year there
is everything that a music lover could
wish. The repertoire includes songs
ranging from old melodies to the lat
est ragtime, including a comedy-skit
by the long and short of the club. Hu
mor, wit, sarcasm, pathos, melody,
dancing, jazz and ragtime are all in
termingled together in one continuous
performance. Fun, frolic and foolish
ness are mixed with beauty, melody
and harmony in an artistic manner.
“Skippy’ ’Conyers is leading the
Glee club, while “Billy” Hooper is the
boss of the Mandolin club. “Fess” Dot
tery is still at the helm of the or
chestra, and has produced one which
is up to the standards of former years,
if not surpassing them. The famous
“Georgia Four” is still with the club
and their selections this year promise
to win much applause. The “Geor
gia Stringed Trio” has taken the place
of the famous “Georgia Quintette” and
has fully come up to the record of
their predecessors Then, too, there
is the double quartette, a new asset to
the club, which has proved a great
success in the rehearsals. Slade and
Tysinger are handling the “skit
scream" to perfection and with Shef
field strumming the guitar and A1
Johnson tickling the ivories there
should not be a show on the road in
comparison with this one.
The club left Athens in their private
car at 5:00 p. m. Thursday and going
direct to Madison over the Central of
Georgia, where the first show of the
1919 club was given. Professor In
gram, of the State University faculty,
is accompanying the club on its trip.
Last Wednesday afternoon a dress
rehearsal was given before the faculty
of the Uinversity and their wives, and
they approved of the performance
thoroughly. This is an ancient cus
tom in order that there may be noth
ing done which has not the hearty ap
proval of the faculty.
Everything has been done this year
to please the people of the state and
the student body of the University
hopes that the state as a whole will
thoroughly enjoy the performance
which they promise will come up to all
