GREAT MUSICAL EVENT
TO Be Held on April 18 and 19 at
Greenwood Renowned Singers
Greenwood Has Guaran-
teed Large Amount.

~ The Choral Festival which is to be
held in Greenwood on the 18th and
10Th OF April is exciting no little in
terest locally. 1t is thought that
large crowd will go from here to take
advantage OF the great opportunity
offered to hear some great singing by
some equally as great artists The
railroads will grant low rates, and the
schedule is so arranged that those who
intend going to Greenwood in April
may do so at little Inconvenience, in
asmuchas practically all of the three
performances may be taken in, allow
ing the busy men to return home
easily in time for opening business.
From all that can be learned, the
Choral Festival in Greenwood will be
a great event for this section, and the
people of that little city have at
great expense to themselves, secured
some well known artists to sing there.
They are busily engaged making prep
arations for the great event, and the
three concerts-which will be given as
follows: Wednesday night, Thursday
afternoon and Thursday night--will be
we'll attended. People all over the
section are contemplating attending.
And it is we'll, too, for not often
does the opportunity present itself Tor
lovers Of music-and by great artists.
too-to hear and attend an event Of
such magnitude.
The chorus which will sing will be
composed of one hundred and forty
five we'll trained voices-a fact, in it
self, which will prove a great drawing
card. Then, in great measure add
ing lustre to the musical event, are
the renowned singers from the west
who have, at great price, been Sc
cured to sing at Greenwood. 1t costs
no little outlay of money to induce
singer of national and worldwide rep
utation to sing, and the people OF
Greenwood realize this fact.
The seat sale was opened last week
in the store OF S. c. Hodges to whom
all letters should be addressed In
order to secure the choicest seats in
the house a great number have already
been sold but those in charge are
urging the people to secure seats at
once, so that those who attend will
get the best places. The prices OF
admission are only seventy FIVE cents
for each performance while the sea-
son emitting the holder to the
three performances for only two dol
lars. This is regarded very moderate
for the high class of singing to be had.
Greenwood congratulates herself
upon securing some OF the most re-
uowned artists in the country. Among
the number are Genevieve Clark VIII
son soprano, Harriet Frahm, contralto
II. Aug. Smith, tenor and Gustaf Hol-
quist bass. With the grand chorus
of 145 voices these will present such
an rray>of musical talent as has new
er before been seen in this section.
All of them will come to Greenwood
in April with reputation we'll earned
with voices we'll known and appreciat-
ed; and on Thursday night, the 10Th
which is Artists Night-will delight
a large audience which has already
signifed it's intention of coming. S.
C. Hodges OF Greenwood who is in
charge of the tickets and can furnish
any information, states that the seat
sale has been more than gratifying
and that the only way to secure the
best locatiins in the auditorium is to
write for them now.
