‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
Within the past year the Stanford Glee Club has established an enviable reputation. It has sung to audiences aggregating almost twenty thousand people. It has appeared with the three greatest symphony orchestras on the Coast. The singular honor of being the only organization of its kind to appear with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra was conferred upon it. In the Southland it established an enviable reputation for Stanford when it sang at the Pasadena Easter Sunrise Concert at the Hotel Huntington. In San Francisco music lovers showed their approval of the organization by giving it seven curtain calls at a special Sunday morning concert at the California Theatre. L. H. Behymer, Maestro-Impresario of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and probably the greatest musical manager of the Pacific Coast, recommends the Club as follows: "Stanford's Glee Club is the best of its class I have ever heard in my musical career."
This success is due largely to the type of program that the Club offers. Breaking away, for the most part, from the time-worn college Glee Club rah-rah program, the organization presents selections from the greatest of modern choral numbers. It caters to the taste of true music lovers and endeavors to raise the standards of male choral work in the West, thus doing for the Coast what Harvard has done for the East. For its popular concerts it has prepared a program of lighter numbers and carries with if soloists, stunt men, and a complete college orchestra. This orchestra, by the way, is the envy of all professional musicians who have heard it. The sophisticated audience of the Hotel Ambassador in Santa Barbara gave them encore after encore and the management endeavored to sign them up with a vacation contract. Stanford Illustrated Review.
