of the Delightful Entertainments

Found Such Popular Favor Last

Are Likely to Be Here.
Are Likely to Be Here.

The entertainment course project
which WAS so successful last season,
under the guidance of Claude f. Smith
and Isaac Singer, two of the town s
most alert, enterprising young men,
will make another bid for public favor
this sea son.
The Brockway bureau and the Red
path bureau will both be sought for
the best entertainers and lecturers at
the disposal of either.
There is an array of talent from
which to select. but those who are re-
sarded and recommended as likely to
please Carbondalians most are the fol-
lowing:
Among the musical offerings. and
these are tho best among the Brock
way bureau talent, are the Boston Sex
tette, the BrOckway Grand Concert
company, with the celebrated Miss
George Bentley as pianiste; the South
wick Concert company. This organiza-
ton is managed by Mr. Southwicli, who
was the first manager of the Academy
of Music in this city, who, it will be
recalled by Carbondalians opened that
amusement place with no less a cele-
brated actress than Julia Marlowe.
The "Roney Boys" of Chicago, is an
other musical crowd, that has heaps OF
press notices and is warmly recom-
mended by the bureau managers. There
are six lads. whose musical voices are
said to be almost phenomenal. The In
perial Bell Ringers are another attrac-
tion that is always in demand. There
is wonen's military band, which has
made a sensational hit wherever it has
appeared This is IL new number.
Among the lecturers are Robert ].
Rurdette, the humorist. THE Burling-
ton Hawkeye man. whose sketches
have entertained and delighted tE"u-
sands of readers the past quarter Of a
century; Benjamin Chaplin, II young
man. who gives what is pronounced II
malVelously realistic impersonation of
Abraham Lincoln.
These are the principal numbers
which are under consideration. The
course will be decided upon in few
days ana viii he made public.
