STAR ENTERTAINMENT COURSE
OFFERS GREAT VARIETY

That "all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" is a truism as old
as human experience. Entertainment
is a necessity in life and a variety of
entertainment is very desirable.
A varied and high class list of en-
tertainment is offered the people of
Canon City, in all probability the best
ever offered, by the Y. M. c. A. Star
course during the coming season.
There will be music-the kind one
likes when tired with the days labors
some of 1t classical, some popular,
both instrumental and vocal. In the
second number of the course, which
occurs November 18th, Slayton's Ju-
bilee Singers will be the attraction.
Eight colored singers arrayed in
dresses and suits, which might well
have been born amid the cotton fields,
will sing the old melodies and hymns,
which, even today, may be heard in
the South. Original Black Patti"
will probably sing Away Down on
the Suwanee River" and possibly,
Annie Lauri for an encore.
The Transcontinental Trio will
amuse and entertain with a varied
and unique program. Mr.. Cutter, the
singing humorist, goes from grave to
gay, from patriotic and soul stirring
sentiments to those of side splitting
comicality; from tender touches Of
pathos to boisterous jollity. He has
always been effective and has never
failed to carry the entire audience.
The Brockton, Mass, Times says:
"Mr. Cutter had his audience in roars
of laughter with his humorous patter
and funny songs"
Chicago Evening News says Of Miss
Drake: Miss Maude Brake is a
reader and impersonator Of rare abil-
ity and worth. She delighted the
audience last evening with a presen-
tation of "If We're King" Her strong
and charming personality won her
great success"
The. Los Angeles Times reports
Helen Goff as follows: The real hit
of the evening was the solo of Helen
Goff. This young lady combines a
charming personality and beautiful
voice with an artistic temperament.
The audience insisted upon encore
after encore, and seemed reluctant to
let her go after she had sung four
songs"
Probably the Dunbar Male Quartette
and Bell Ringers furnish the most
varied and unique and altogether en-
toyable program OF any similar Or
ganization on the platform. A first
class male quartette with a reper-
toire including songs for every taste
needs no special mention. They are
always enjoyed. In addition to their
vocal quartette, the same four-C. C.
Robinson, Ralph Dunbar, Harry c.
Dunbar and Leon Felgar play upon a
set of 100 English handbells. Ralph
Dunbar is especially feature in his
cello solos. 1t is said "he has enough
music in him to make an entire quar-
tet." Harry Dunbar Is a reader and
50 successful that 1t is unusual for
him not to receive special mention in
instrumental trio, cello, piano and
flute will be sure to please you.
Montaville Flowers, coming in April.
is fittingly chosen for the last He
gives a program entirely different
from the previous six. He is a mon
ologist, a character delineator and i'm
personator. He is a whole play in
himself-he takes all the parts and
acts them all in such a realistic way
that one forgets that Flowers is the
only person on the platform. Ben Hur,

Venice, Les Miserables, The Little
