Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 July 1920 — RICKETTS GLEE CLUB [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

RICKETTS GLEE CLUB

* This company, under the leadership of Chester L. Ricketts, holds perhaps the record for Chautauqua service. From the beginning of the circtrit Chautauqua the name of Ricketts has appeared each year on a program. This could hardly have been done if there were not intrinsic value, and the true instinct of the musician and entertainer upon which to build. The Ricketts Glee Club brings a program sparkling with novelty. Beyond the ordinary offerings of a male quartette, these young men add ’cello and violin duets and solos, saxophone music, comedy sketches, monologues and character numbers in costume. A company that really excels in snappy versatile programs of melody, music and mirth. Dr. John H. McLaren of California, lectures both afternoon and evening, following the entertainment of this company.
