Ipworth League Have First ella SIS
Entertainers for this Winter.

HPWOrth League lecture
course has become one of the in,
eVisutions of Morris. We look for it
each winter, and depend on it tc
furnish high class entertainments
Ihe course has received such cordial
support from he people of Morris
aud has been SO ably managed, that
better entertainments have been
furnished year by year. This year,
much better entertainments have
oeen contracted for than ever before
as will be seen from the brief
mention hereafter.
The course is in charge of a COM
mlttee consisting of Geo. W. Beise,
Walter Borrill, F. r. Putnam and
M. A, Hanson. AS has been tie
custom in the past, season tickets
will be sold, and also reserved
seats for che season, only a
limited number of the latter being
sold. The committee will begin the
canTass for the sale of season tickets
IN few days.
On November 18th, the course
opens with Leonora jackson, the
distinguished vicliniste, Sibyl Sam
MIS- the American prima donna
soprano, assisted hv Chas. E. Clark,
baritone, and Alex Mac Fadyen,
pianist. Miss jackson returns to
America after an absence of three
years in Europe, where she has been
adding new laurels to her already
brilliant career. Her success has
been truly phenomenal. Such is her
power to inspire great audiences,
such her genius and marvellous
mastery of the violin, such the in
comparable charm of her personality
and sweet music that she has taken
Europe and America by storm.
Queen Victoria decorated Leonora
jackson with the Victoria Star.
The Prussan Government awarded
her the Mendelssohn State Prize at
Berlin. She has appeared on pro.
grams with Paderewski and the
greatest celebrities, and as soloist of
the most renowned musical societies
(Leipzic Gewandhaus, London Phil
harmonic, Paris Colonne Orchestra,
etc., where no American violinist
had ever before been engaged. Her
American tours, as we'll, have been
veritable triumphs. At Los Angeles,
Cal, for example, the grammar
schools were dismissed and over
1000 children welcomed the gifted
artist to their city. She has been
engaged by the leading musical
or carnations aud clubs from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and America
is justly proud of her, for she has
a nieved a place of honor "among
the worlds most noted violin artists
and "a name that will live in musical
history"
Miss Sibyl Sammis is one of those
rare artists whom one hears none too
often. She is the possessor OF al
highly cultivated voice of wide range
and power, her execution is fluent, |
facile and smooth, and her articnla-
ton perfect. Miss Sammis is not
only endowed with great musical
gifts, but with personal magnetism,
happy disposition. and charming
face and figure. As Sam cones says
'She is a combination of cyclone and
nightingale"
Pitt Parker, the crayor wizard,
will be here on December 9th.
Pitt Parker is one Of the few who,
departing from beaten paths, have
successful established their reputa
tions for originality and merit, by
appearing for the same organiza-
tions for Ia number of consecutive
seasons. His personality is of the
non. irrita BILE sort, aud his character
is unassailable. His humor is clean
but refreshing as mountain stream
iu his native state, and while he
seldom fails to appreciate the deep
significance of passing events, his
touches Of humor reveal the optmis-
tic spirit. His skill as a chalk artist
is of such character that many
refer to him as ''the crayon wizard,
and indeed, he is more than car
toonist. He rapidly, yet accurately
creates beautiful colored scenes by
methods all his own, sketches with {
either hand. makes two different
pictures at the same time, draws
