The Pierian and Glee Club Concert.

Sanders Theatre was filled to overflowing last night on the occasion of the concert given by the Pierian Sodality, the Glee and Banjo Clubs. The overture, "Italians in Algiers," by the Pierian, was tremendously applauded, and with reason. The piece was excellently rendered, and showed that much care had been taken in its preparation. The Glee Club followed with some college songs-"Schneider's Band," "Imogene Donohue" and "Man in the Moon"-all of which were most enthusiastically received.

The Banjo Club then gave the "British Patrol," and their playing was remarkable for the correctness of time and the absence of discord.

The Glee Club gave the "Serenade" and "The Jolly Musician," and as before were encored by the audience. The "Waltz from Serenade" by the string instruments of the Pierian was well executed. Mr. Longworth, '91, concluded Part I by a very fine exhibition of violin playing. His work was remarkably skilful and finished, and he gives promise of becoming a very strong player.

The Banjo Club opened Part II. of the programme with the Armanini waltz, which called forth an encore. The club is an addition to the "popularizing element" in these concerts. The "Little Tycoon Waltz" is a very pretty bit of music and won its hearty encore. The "Bill of Fare," a quartette by Messrs. Honore, Shippen, Howard and Willard, was the hit of the evening, and was very drolly sung.

Mr. Lewis' "Vacation Song" is a composition of merit and we do not think the Glee Club did as well as they might on it.

The playing of the Pierian in the "Bolero" shows what faithful work has been done in that organization this year-it really was a remarkable performance and Mr. Whipple is to be congratulated.

The "Bird and the Rose" and "Tailor Courage," two very bright songs, were then sung by the Glee Club-they were given with great finish and spirit and were warmly applauded. Next came the Pierian who played the familiar "Lachner March" which we heard from them last year. Resolution and strength were its dominant qualities.

The Glee Club then closed the concert with a number of songs. "Alexander," a very handsome adaptation of an old melody, was first given, Mr. Bullard singing the solo. A quintette consisting of Messrs. Honore, Shippen, B. Carpenter, Howard and Willard then sang Mr. Carpenter's latest entitled "Der Jungling" -a very pretty air and jodel. Next came a new arrangement of several old drinking songs not on the programme, and finally the piece of the evening-"The Blue Danube Waltz," which was sung in splendid style.

As a whole, the concert was a great success, financially and musically. We would suggest, however, that if the leaders of the different clubs would deny their friends a few of the multitudinous encores it would work for the better.
