CAMPANARI
ON OCTOBER %
WOrId-RenoWned Tenor to
Sing in Wichita.
GREAT MUSICAL WINTER
Is in Store for Wichita
SteindeI on October 2.

Campanari the worlds greatest tenor
viii appear in Wichita Tuesday evening,
October q. Yesterday Colonel Toler tele-
graphed the final arrangements to New
York and the engagement was made.
Campanari. who stands with the fore
most in the line OF great vocaIists is of the
great Grau Grand Opera company. Like
Nordica and Media. he gives an annual
concert tour. This is the first time he
has been secured in this section, and this
was made possible through the success of
Paderewski and Nordica in Wichita, those
two events establishing Wichita, in the
minds of musical agencies, as an attrac-
tiCn center. Campanari's vocal ascen-
dancy is known the world over. in Italy
and Germany and in the Americas alike
His appearance here will be the signal
Of an outpouring of the music-lovers from
all southern Kansas and Oklahoma,
probably equalling that at the appearance
OF Nordica and Paderewslx. He will
share the winter, musically with Schu-
mann-Henck, who comes in January
the city entertaining two Of the world s
greatest stars. as it did last season.
In a musical way the coming is TO be
the most notable winter in the city's his
tory. Properly the musical season opens
on October ,, when the Bruno-Steindel
company appears at the Toler Audito-
rum. Steindel who was brought from
Berlin by Theodore Thomas, is the
greatest 'cellist in the world. He is ac-
Companied by Madam Marguerite Wun-
derle, a renowned harpist, being soIoist
for Thomas orchestra. Mrs. Steindel
and Clara Trimbie. vocalists of note,
make up the quartet.
The Bruno-Steindel number appears in
the Lyceum course. Speaking of the sale
OF tickets for this course, Colonel Toler
said last evening: THE sale of tickets
for the course has been unsatisfactory.
The aggregate number of season tickets
sold is proportionally small have come
across the reason for this small sale by
careful inquiry. Wichitans seem to think
quite generally that the course is a cheap
Lyceum course. l would like to explain
why and wherein this is not true. In the
beginning I understood the frost that com
monty meets the ordinary Lyceum attrac-
tons. There are in the Lyceum course
ten attractions, season tickets selling for
$3.50, or at the rate of twenty-five cents
per entertainment. IN New York city
there are lyceum agencies and musical
agencies. The lyceum agency will furnish
a line of ordinary attractions complete
fer a comparatively small sum. They
can do this because the attractions are
not new and are cheaply secured. There
are also in New York musical agencies,
which are distinct. These are managed by
people who watch closely for new and
notable musical personages. particularly
in Europe. They make engagements for
these artists and when a sufficient pat
I onage is secured, these artists tour the
country. They are not commonly lyceum
attractions. They must be secured by
special inducements and higher prices In
order TO make the lyceum course here
doubly attractive, 1 kept down the number
Of regular lyeeum attractions and added
five of these especially engaged musical
They are of the highest
order. They are The Bruno Steindel com
pany; the Mabelle Crawford company;
Arthur HOFFMAN, the pianist: the Spier-
ing Quartet; Elector Clifford, the soprano.
These were secured at separate musical
agencies and are not in ordinary lyceum
courses. They cost too much In addition
to these five attractions are five others:
Governor Bob Taylor. Jacob Riis and
Father Francis Kelly, lecturers; and
Katherine Eggleston and Nontavina
Flowers. interpreters. 1 worked hard and

superior series and 1 believe that when
the difference between the ordinary
course and this specially arranged one is
the sale Of season tickets will
be more satisfactory"
