We are informed by Mrs. F. w.
Preston that the guarantee for the
course is sufficient to announce that
the people of Union City will be en-
tertained by special talent at
Reynolds Opera House this season,
including four lectures and two
musicals, oGfning with the ira
gedian, Frederick Ward, beginning
in October and continuing to
March. The sale of season tickets,
however, will continue. T h e
prices are only $500 for a single
season ticket and $500 for two.
The price of single tickets is one
dollar. It will be seen therefore
that the season tickets are much
cheaper it the entire series is de-
sired. The course includes some
extraordinary talent worth gong
to see and hear. The course is CIV
en- under the auspices of the Re-
view Club, which would be greatly
pleased and benefited, to make the
season a social; financial, musical
and literary success, and the la
dies should be encouraged by all
means.
