Took Large Audience By Storm
The Lotus Male Quartette and Minnie
Marshall Smith took a large and unusu
ally enthusiastic audience in the Menard
opera house by storm Wednesday even
ing They won their spurs in a
appearance before the Junior Nor
mal Wednesday afternoon and their
initial appearance brought them face to
face with many admirers and a notably
warm reception This warmth contin
ued throughout the entire program
every number was applauded to the
second and third generations It is safe
to say that no musical organization
large or small has ever given a McCook
audience greater pleasure The selec
tions were new of a high ordor rend
ered with an artistic finish and none
lacked the marked approbation of the
audience They were especially gener
ous in their response to encores thus
extending the regular program to more
than double its usual length Still
when the finale was announced it was
a matter of regret and surprise to all
The work of Minnie Marshall Smith
lacked not a whit of enjoyableness To
hold the average audience in recitation
requires cleverness and more than ordin
ary ability so much has ranting sot
the publics teeth on edge She met
every requirement Two and threo re
calls were the order As one expressed
it she was a whole show in herself
The Tribune feels that McCook is es
pecially fortunate in having the oppor
tunity of hearing the Lotus Quartette
and Minnie Marshall Smith
