C oRvALLls LYcEUM COURSE
Splendid Entertainments PROM
ised-What They Are.

Ihe OBJECT OF the Corvail1
Lyceum Course is most decided
ly not to enter the theatrical fell
as some have supposed. Tha
form of entertainment is very
thoroughly provided for by ths
efficient management of th'
opera house, and nothing in ths
least resembling such an attrac
ton has been engaged by tht
management of the lecture
course. 1t is simply an attemp
to give to the citizens of Corval.
lis and vicinity the opportunity
10 hear few first class lectures
and musical entertainments at Z
moderate cost. In other words
it is an attempt to bring to our
city certain cultural features in
,the form of entertainments such
as are usually found only in much
larger cities.
To this end, there has been
engaged for this season, two OF
the most noted lecturers to be
found at present on the American
lecture platform, two splendid
high-c1ass musical attractions
and one highly interesting lee
ture on the wonders of electricity,
which will be illustrated by some
most remarkable experiments.
The first entertainment on
November 13, will be by the
Lulu Tyler Gates Co. which con-
sists of Lulu Tyler Gates, reader;
Miss Edith Adams, violoncellist;
Graham Smith, basso cantante
and w. E. Snyder, pianist.
"Of Miss Gates little need be
said. The remarkable charm of
her personality, the strength and
richness of her voice, her enthu-
siasm as an artist, and her high
appreciation of the best things in
literature, all contribute to in
sure her unbounded success as a
public reader.''
Miss Adams was a pupil of
Robert Hansmann OF the Royal
High School of Berlin and later
of the great virtuso Himrick Kie-
fer OF Munich "where she won
for herself the honor of being the
best pupil of this greatest 'cellist
of his day. Graham Smith,
basso cantante, possesses parti-
cularly sweet and powerful voice,
with a wide range" "Mr. Sny-
der taught and studied four
years with Hahn, four years with
Sherwood, and two years with
Theodore Leschetizky and Prof.
Robert Fuchs of Vienna.
