ncnt Course.
The patrons and friends of the Shep.
herd College Lecture and Entertain
mpnt Course will be glad to learn that
the programme for 1909 is the most
ambitious that has yet been offered.
While it does not provide for "a great
er number Of entertainments and lee
lures than heretofore-not 30 great a
number as last year, in fact-it is IN
doubtedly superior in personnel to any
course that has ever been offered here.
This fact becomes the more patent
when it is remembered that this year
course will cost the Shepherd College
Lecture Management fifty dollars more
than even last years superb course.
On account of the higher-priced talent
and for the reason that it kept the
management hustling to come out even
last year, it was decided to advance
the price of the season tickets from
Sl.5O to $1.75. Single admission,
tickets will cost so cents, children g
tickets 25 cents.
tn Programme consists OF tue fol-
lowing numbers
The Broomell- Reed Company, Sep
TENDER %.
Mr.. Frederick Wardc, the eminent
tragedian, in December.
The Lyceum Grand Concert Com
panY, January.
Dewitt Miller, lecturer, February.
Fred Emerson Brooks, post-humor-
list, March.
Each of these may be said to be a
star number in its line. There ia not
one cheap attraction. The course Is
we'll balanced, too. Our patrons re-
member well the Broomell' Reed COM
panys excellent performance here last
year. Miss Broomell delighted her
hearers and spectators with her match
less readings, while Miss Reed charm
ed them with her delightful harp
playing. The management felt that
our patrons wanted this company for
return engagement this year and so
they were secured. Frederick Warde
is remembered as one Of Americas
foremost tragedians, and Is recognized
as one of the foremost Shakespearsan
students in this country. The man
agemsnt pays a larger sum for his ap-
pearance here than for that Of any
other talent that has ever appeared on
its programmes. The LYcsum Grand
Concert Company promises to excel all
musical entertainments ever gwen
here. 1t is an all-star company. De-
Witt Miller is so well known as a
platform orator and lecturer that he
needs no introduction to our public.
He is undoubtedly one of the best and
most popular lecturers in the land.
Fred Emerson, too, needs no introduc-
ton to those of our people who are OF
literary bent, for his poems have de-
lighted Thousands, and he is even more
popular as entertainer than as poet.
He delights his audiences wherever he
goes.
The management feels confident that
its efforts to give its patrons the very
best that the country affords in THE
line of entertainment will enlist the
hearty cooperation Of the good peo:,
pie Of this community generally, and
hopes that enough ticket pur-
chasers will be found to ensure it
against financial loss.
Season tickets will be offered for
sale by students of Shepherd College
and also by Remnants and Hills
pharmacies. The ticket board will be
put up at Remnants Pharmacy FRI
day noon. -,
Don't forget the Broomsll. Reed
Company, Monday night, beginnin 6
at 8 o'clock.
