MORROW BROTHERS QUARTET ENTERTAINERS WHO ENTERTAIN
IT IS SELDOM that four brothers are found with voices endowed by nature with a large enough range to do effective male quartette singing. The Morrow Brothers are the latest generation of a musical family. All of them have been trained from infancy in music, both vocal and instrumental. Their ensemble singing has been developed until it has attained that rare harmony and blend which is the result of years of training together. The Morrow Brothers have an original and varied program consisting of ensemble singing, instrumental music, solos both vocal and instrumental, readings, and costume character impersonations. Their entertainment has something for every individual taste. They will prove an attractive number on any course.
THE PERSONNEL OF THE COMPANY
F. E. MORROW, First Tenor, Manager and Mellophone.
C. E. MORROW, Second Tenor, Cornet, Reader and Pianist.
R. R. MORROW, Baritone and Tenor Horn.
E. M. MORROW, Basso, Character Impersonator, and Baritone Horn.
PRESS AND PERSONAL COMMENTS
COWDEN, ILLINOIS.—The Morrow Brothers Quartette played to the largest and most appreciative audience that has ever greeted any company or speaker at the M. E. Church. Each number was a gem in itself, and drew forth applause from everyone. Their program consisted of orchestra selections, brass duet, cornet solo, readings, vocal quartettes, solos, and a perusal of the Cowden Screwdriver, which furnished much amusement. Probably the vocal selection that pleased us most was Love's Old, Sweet Song, which was sung so softly and sweetly. If we were to make special mention of what was most pleasing, we would be compelled to speak of each selection separately. While the voices of the four boys were particularly good, that of the bass singer was something wonderful, and when he dug a hole in the bottom of the sea, while singing Davie Jones' Locker, his tones were deep, full and clear all the way down. This quartette will receive a cordial welcome at any return engagement.
The Cowden (Illinois) Reflector.
RAMSEY, ILLINOIS.—On Monday evening last, the Morrow Brothers Quartette entertained at Hayes' Opera House. It was their second appearance in Ramsey, and a full house showed that their first visit was well remembered. Their program was excellent, and varied so that everyone found something to enjoy. They entertained, and in a way that everybody laughed, grew reflective, laughed again, and went away feeling that the evening was all too short. They can surely count on the largest and most appreciative audience that the town can give, any time they return to Ramsey.

MOROCCO, INDIANA.—The Morrow Brothers entertained at the Baptist Church Saturday night. Their program is so varied that no monotony exists. It consists, not only of vocal quartettes, duets and solos, but instrumental music of different kinds, monologues, etc. They are a bunch of clean, clever and social young men.
The Morocco (Indiana) Courier.
STEWARDSON, ILLINOIS.—The Morrow Brothers Quartette is absolutely fine.
REV. STOREY, Pastor Christian Church.
WARRENSBURG, ILLINOIS.—It was our pleasure to have with us the Morrow Brothers Quartette on Oct. 19th, 1912, in an evening of entertainment which was clean, unique, and entertaining. The Morrow Brothers conduct themselves as fine gentlemen, and their appearance on the platform has a pleasing effect on their audiences. They gave variety in their program, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, and humorous readings.
W. O. ROUSH, Pastor M. E. Church.
STANFORD, ILLINOIS.—I am glad to give a word of commendation in behalf of the Morrow Brothers Quartette. They gave their entertainment in the Opera House on the night of Oct. the 12th, 1912, to a good sized audience; and from beginning to close they held their audience with their delightful music, every bit of which was clean and wholesome. They do not present anything but the cleanest and best. I am sure they will please you.
REV. W. E. OLMSTEAD, Pastor Presbyterian Church.
BROADLANDS, ILLINOIS.—I take pleasure in speaking of the sterling quality of the Morrow Brothers as shown by them in the entertainment given at Broadlands, Illinois, on the night of November 13th, 1912. The peculiar character of their musical genius makes them a quartette of rare high rank. Not immoral; but is flavored with virtue. Will make you laugh and loosen your old hide to let a good moral soak in. Hear them!
ANDREW L. SIMMONS, Pastor M. E. Church.
PLEASANT PLAINS, ILLINOIS.—I will say of the Morrow Brothers Quartette, that their entertainments are of the highest type; none go away dissatisfied, and they are of such a nature that no Christian need fear to attend them.
REV. W. CALVIN SHAFER, Pastor Presbyterian Church.
WINDSOR, ILLINOIS.—The Morrow Brothers gave a very good musical entertainment at the Opera House Monday night. The brothers are good singers, some of them very clever impersonators, and they are good instrumentalists, thus giving quite a variety.
