GREAT COURSE.
Nothing Succeeds Like
Success"

Inc l0cal puDnc Is SuDScIlDlhS
most literally for season tickets, and
from present indications, this will be
the banner year for large audiences,
and from the excellent course select
ed, every audience this season will
be more than pleased with the at
fractions.
The course will open in October
with the Elmer Smith Musical Com
pany. There are four artists in this
company, the same artists who were
such a success during the season Of
1867. No press report of Miss
Smiths work, seems to describe her
strongest point; they all declare she
must be seen and heard to be fully
appreciated. There are a great many
of our patrons who like magic and
mystery, all who like this form of
entertainment, and those who do not,
will enjoy an evening with Marc, the
Prince of Magic, and his Saxophone
quartette. This company carries
$500 pounds of excess baggage, and
have the most gorgeous stage set
ting of any similar attraction on the
road. Besides being a past master
with magic, Marc is a finished mu 81
clan, and plays solos on the Teri
guitar and the "Coggletpeg;;" he is
also an A No. l cartoonist, and his
art seance" is most delightful.
Our patrons will be glad to know
that Mrs VIM. Calvin Chiffon will
appear on the course this season.
When she was here three years ago,
the first half of her program was
from the works of Thomas Nelson
Page, and all declare, as she gives it,
a full evening with Page would be
none too much.
One of the strongest and best male
quartettes, brass quartettes and bell
ringing combinations is found in the
Parlan-Newhall Company. This is
without question the most versatile
four-people combination now before
the American lyceum public. We
have been trying to secure a date
from them for two seasons. Mr..
Montaville Flowers, in interpretive
recital from masterpieces, will prove
one of the features. of the whole
course. In a repertoire Of seven
program s. Ben-Hu seems to be the
most popular, and is the one that
made Mr.. Flowers famous. We have
been asked to have him give Ben
Hur, but in matters of this kind we
usually ask for the most popular pro-
gram, and leave the selection to the
artist who is to appear. The four
attractions mentioned above are well
worth the price Of the season tickets,
but these very attractive numbers
and four other attractions, making
eight in all, will be sold for the small
sum of 81 co, to those who procure
season tickets. Think Of it just
moment, these artists of national
and international reputation, sold
and the seats reserved, for the small
sum of 25c per number. We had a
letter from a bureau in Atlanta a
few days ago in which the writer
said, this course would sell there for
So per single ticket, and SIS for
double ticket, like hot cakes. 1t is
well worth this price, but the man
agement has put the price of season
ticket at 25e per number and
will maintain this uniform price.
Single tickets for these attractions
will range from soc to $1.O0 per at
traction, and we advise all who want
to enjoy these superb attractions to
get season tickets. This is the most
expensive course we have ever had,
and we hope our many friends will
appreciate our efforts in their behalf.
