Third Number In The Columbian Club
Lecture Course.
Edward P. Elliot, Impersonator.
January 80, 1900.


A form Entertainment which Au-
dubon people have never had before,
will be introduced by the ladies, Tues
day evening, January 30, at the Pres
byterian church. Mr. Elliot will APP
pear in Christopher, Jr., a three-act
comedy and one that has ten charac-
tiers. We believe this number will be
one of the most entertaining and sat-
isfactory in our course. Mr.. Elliot
comes to us highly recommended by
the press, pulpit and public; he is
said to rank favorably with the far
famed impersonator, Leland T. Pow
ers. He is versatile, pleasing, original
and magnetic, and cannot fail to de-
light those who will hear him. Do
not allow anything to keep you from
attending this novel entertainment.
Tickets may be procured at j. f. Rus
