The full announcement of the
Star course of entertainments is given
in our advertising columns this week
1t will be seen that the committee
has added an extra entertainment to
the course, giving six instead of five
without any increase in the price. The
aim has been, while maintaining the
high standard adhered to in previous
seasons, to present a wide variety
which will appeal to the entire com.
munity. Following the opening OF
the course by May Parkers Little
Pickaninnies," with musical numbers
there will be three concerts of vocal
and instrumental music and lectures
by two of the leading platform men
of the day. 1t has been the aim OF
the committee in past seasons to com,
mand public support and confidence
by presenting entertainments of the
highest order, and this program shows
equal effort in this direction. 1t is
desirable on all accounts that patrons
of the course should buy season tick
cts, both as a matter of economy for
themselves and for the assured sup
port an advance sale gives the com
mittee. Advance tickets are on sale
at the association rooms. The ex
change for reserved seats will begin
at o'clock on Saturday morning OF
next week, at the rooms.
