Among the other specialty vaudeville acts was a piano duet by Donald Frothingham '27 and S. L. Kelcher '27, who played together all last year and gave several performances. A total of 80 men took part in this concert, probably one of the most successful ever undertaken by the Instrumental Clubs. At the close of the program the clubs gave a dance, supplying their own jazz orchestra under the direction of J. H. Wright '25. The clubs traveled to Worcester in Gray Line busses provided especially for the purpose, where they were the guests of the Worcester Clubs for dinner...

And Isolde expires on his body, chanting the famous Liebestod. Hardened operagoers are in the habit of arriving in time for Wagner's soul-stirring prelude, and then marching out. They reappear for the great love-duet, and go out again. Finally they slink into their seats-just in time for the Liebestod. But let it here be said that this last performance, featuring Herr Curt Taucher as Tristan...
...musical season, but no revival could be less important than this because no one has ever been enthusiastic about L'Amico Fritz. It is harmlessly sentimental - a country maid throws violets (violet song) and cherries (cherry song) at an Alsatian landowner, and the landowner joins in a final duet: "lo t'amo, t'amo, o dolce mio tesor...
