be carried on again this year under
the Ministerial Association at the
Gennett. The management feels war
ranted in saying that at no time in
the history of the lecture course in
Richmond were prospects more fiat
tering for a great lecture course. The
manager has spared no pains in the
effort to obtain six of the greatest
platform attractions before the
American public. 1t is the most ex-
pensive course ever brought to Rich
mond
The first number is by the Ernest
Gamble Concert Company on No
vember 1st
Every member of this party of ar
| lists is chosen for his individual mer-
| it and for his value to the program
as whole. There is no star and there
are no supporting members. The uni
versal verdict of the best critics in
| over five hundred appearances, in
twenty-five states and Canada, has
pany is the most evenly balanced con-
cert party extant.
The company consists of Ernest
Gamble, basso; Mr.. Sam Lamberson,
pianist; and Miss Vienna Leone Page,
concert vioIinist
The second number is December g.
and is given by Bob Taylor. Taylor is
now u. S. Senator from Tennessee.
His lecture on the Fiddle and the
Bow is one of the most widely cele-
brated in the country.
He is more than a genius in his
way, and today stands alone as the
great portrayer, upon the lecture plat
form, of the beauties of nature, and
delineator of the humber character,
His is heart of melody and a tongue
of gold
The Whitney Brothers Male Quar-
tette will come January 3rd
1t is rare to find in one family four
gifted brothers; rarer to find four pos
sessing the same gift; rarer yet to
find four brothers with voices SO at
tuned that they can assume the sew
eral parts in a quartet; rarest of all
to find four whose team work" ena-
beauty, harmony, symmetry, balance
and high appeal as that of the Whit
ney Brothers. One of the brothers is
an accompanied of distinction; anoth-
er is one of the best readers upon the
concert platform. The Whitneys COM
pei laughter or tears at will, delight
the ear, warm the heart, in an even
ing that is unique, artistic, complete
Their program is deservedly most
popular. 1t abounds in mirth and yet
all that these brothers do is invested
in an atmosphere of refinement, dig
nifty and beauty.
On January 10Th Willis L. Moore. |
chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau
and President of the National Geo
society will give his cele-
brated lecture on storms and phe- |
nomena of the air. The storms he |
tells about are scarcely greater than |
the storms of applause with which |
his lectures are invariably received |
He is magnetic and inspiring His
voice, his style, his language, his per-
sonality are irresistible. Wherever he |
is known the people flock to hear him |
in thousands, unwilling to miss any
ly persons attend his lectures under |
protest, prepared to be bored, but |
they always come away with the en-
thusiastic declaration that they never
spent a more delightful evening in |
their lives
On February 10, DR.. Frank Bristol |
Of Washington, ID. c., VIM. McKin-
ley's former pastor, will give his lee
Lure on Brains.
He is justly reckoned among the
most brilliant, scholarly, and fasci-
mating speakers before the puSs<c,
in the pulpit or on the plat
form, and his eloquent addresses won
for him long ago a distinction and a
favor perhaps never before attained +
n America by so young a speaker.
DR.. Bristol is simple, earnest and
htforward-qualities without
which no orator. however brilliant his
style may be, can ever attain perma-
lent success.
