THE REDWOOD GAZETTE.
BY AIKEN E. SCHMAHL.
THURSDAY. JULY 20, 1897.
STAR entertainment COURSE.
EpWorth League to Have Six Good
Cards During the Season.

The entertainment committee of
the Epworth League of the Methodist
church are contemplating the arrang-
ing of star lecture and concert course,
to consist of six entertainments, the
first one to be given as soon as the
theatrical season opens, or rather as
soon as the musical combinations are
formed and leave their homes for the
places of rendezvous.
The star course is to be made up
from attractions exclusively under the
control of the Central Lyceum Bureau,
which concern has agencies in various
cities in the United States, and some
of the attractions will not only be new,
but if brought to Redwood Falls will
be treat that Redwood Falls could
hardly expect to enjoy and will reflect
great faith in the people of the city
and adjoining country on the part OF
the entertainment committee of the
Epworth League.
According to the plans of the COM
mittee it is proposed to have three
concert companies and three lectures
to fill in the course.
Among the concert companies is
Chas. E. Perry's Clara Schumann
Ladies Orchestra of sixteen pieces, in
Guiding five violinists, two base viols,
three comets, three fifers, and base
and snare drummer. They give high
class entertainments, and the instru-
mental work of the company is pro-
nounced as good as that of the great or
CARNATIONS of Sousa Gilmore or Thorn
as. Every member is an artistic capable
of doing solo work. The orchestra has
been in constant service for the past
three years, touring in nearly every
State in the Union. It has an unusual
ly extensive repertoire, including
works of Beethoven, Mendelssohn,
Wagner, Bach, Chopin, Handel, Rub
instein, Schumann, Schubert, Gounod,
Verdi and others. 1t plays classical,
popular, mixed and sacred concerts.
Its press and personal notices show it
to be one of the finest organizations
extant.
Another one of the organizations is
the Ollie Torbett Concert Company.
This company is not new to most
readers, as it has appeared in and
around Minnesota on frequent occas-
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-07-29

ions. It consists of Ollie Torbett, F.
Erickson, G. Froholm, G. Smith, E.
Shill, G.. Kindlundh, and Miss Lucy
E. Mawson. Miss Torbett is violin
ist and Miss Mawson pianist. There
is hardly any need of commendatory
words regarding either. They occupy
the front ranks of their professions.
Two seasons Miss Torbett divided
honors with Clara Louise Kellogg and
has travelled from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. It was of her that fascinated
Chicago Inter Ocean critic wrote: Gas
an angel face, wrapped in a golden
halo of tenderly entwining curls, and
bending over her favored instrument,
this young girl presented picture to
move one to thoughts of living beauty
in face and form, in full harmony with
her own sweet music, so rich in melo-
dy, so rare in the mastery of technical
difficulties. The five male members
of the company make up the Lutte
man Male Quintette.
The third attraction is the famous
Park Sisters combination, playing
with mandolins, guitars, zithers, etc.
They are widely known and their
regulations as musicians are clearly
established. During the past few
years they have been spending part
of their time in Europe, where they
have had the honor of appearing be.
fore the royalty of the country. In
this country they have appeared at
entertainments of the last two Presi.
dents prior to the present.
A fourth combination that viii
probably appear is that of Fred. Emer-
son Brooks, known as the "California
Poet and Owen A. Smily, one of the
leading high-class parlor entertainers.
This combination is advertised as one
of genius and song. Brooks portrays
passion, feeling, dialect, character and
initiates sound of animals about the
farm yard. Smily is at home at the
piano or as a tenor, baritone or sop
rano up to high G.
Of the actual lecturers Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr:, the famous New York
preacher, author, orator, and reformer
is on the list-the successor of DR..
Talmage as the preacher in the Acad-
envy of Music, and of whom Sam Jones
wrote HE is live wire" Mr.. Dixon
has seven lectures, all of them good,
and the local committee will probably
have the choice of the seven in case
Mr.. Dixon is secured.
The other lecturer is Rev. Thomas
McClary of Minneapolis, who has
lectured at different Chatauqua gath
erings, and in various cities through
out the United States.
