GLEE CLUB FROM B’GHAM COLLEGE
----------------------------
   The Birmingham College Glee Club arrived Saturday morning from LaFayette—and were 
entertained in the homes of Roanoke till Monday noon. Saturday evening a social function 
was given in their honor at the elegant home of the Misses GRIFFIN.
   Monday evening the club was greeted by a large and appreciative audience in the school 
auditorium. A representative of The Leader was privileged to attend, and can testify to the 
high class of the entertainment given. The several numbers were generously applauded and 
repeated encores were responded to. John E. FAUST made a big hit with his Ford automobile 
song, as did H. H. BAILEY on his vaudeville stunts.
   Local interest in the performance was enhanced by the fact that three Roanoke boys—
John FAUST, Edgar GLENN and White HORNSBY—were among the singers, while Albert PENN, 
a former Roanoker now residing at Five Points, was the skillful piano accompanist. This 
interest was heightened when Dr. SIMPSON, president of the college, announced that seven 
members of the club—exactly half of it—were from the Roanoke district.
