The Association has contracted with
the Redpsth Lyceum Bureau for a
course of six entertainments, at the
agreed price of $500. The entertain
ments will extend over period of
about six months, and the time between
each has been as equally divided as it
was practicable for the contracting par
ties to agree upon.
The following are brief mentions of
the attractions In the order in which
they will appear at the City Opera
House.
On Oct. 18th the course will be opened
by the Lotus Glee Club and Mrs. Smith.
This club enjoys the distinction of q
European success, and the lovers of
good music can depend upon an artistic
treat. One of the most taking parts of
the Clubs program will be the numbers
assigned to Mrs. Minnie Marshall Smith,
whose readings and Rotations have
won for her unbounded praise from the
press of the country
Adrian M. Newans, an impersonator,
who has Interpolation of being an art
ist in the highest sense of the word,
will be here on the 21st of Nov. to make
US cry and laugh according to his will,
or at least to demonstrate his skill as an
impersonator.
The third entertainment of the course
will be on Dec. Goth. On that date Ed
Amherst OFT will deliver one of his
noted lectures, probably "Sour Grapes
or Heredity and Marriage He If
president of the OFT Schools of Express
sior, of Chicago, and is q recognized
authority on oratory, use of the voice
and how to gesture.
We believe that a unique treat is II
store for the patrons of the Society OF
Jan. 6, 1903. Germaine, the great magi
clan accompanied by talented company
is under contract to be here ut that time
Those who attend the Germaine enter
tsinment may reasonably expect 81
evening of bewildering and delightful
amusement.

slums. He is man who has don
something-who has done great dea
to better the condition of the poor O
the great city in which he lives. Som
features of his lecture excel everythin
else In the list of attractions. Hi
