JEHU DEWITT MILLER

tainer. He has lecturcd as many as
ten times to some audiences, being re-
called year after year. We are to have

he visits chautauqua town. Mr..
his unique lectures here and II you
miss any OF them you will regret II
when your friends tell you next day
how good they were.
THE SCHUBERT QUARTET
The depth and harmony so prevalent
In good male voices Is more fully real
lied in the Schuberts than any other
quartet singing today, All are fine
soloists. we mean just that; they are
very much above the average soloists
and yet in quartet work they drop
their respective personalities for the
sake OF the ensemble effects, a thing
not all soloists can do. We believe that
the Schubert Quartet is the best male
quartet in America today. II we knew
OF n better one would try TO get them,
for none are more expensive than the
Schuberts.
THE swANEE JUBILEE SINGERS
sing songs OF the southland as only
colored singers can sing them. Some
one said that sit seems as though you
hear the laughter Of the cotton field
mingled with the SORROWS OF slavery.
when these culored singers sing The
breeze, melody, and the peculiar sweet
sadness which at times permeates
their music can hardly be better de-
scribcd. Come and hear the Swanec
Jubilee Singers and you are sure of a
pleasing hour.
DIR. JOHN z. d. JOHN
| DIR, John was for many years presi-
dent of DePauw University. He Is a
scholar of national reputation and an
authority in the lines which he Will
prescnt here. His lectures are deep,
his arguments are clear and his con-
illusions are wise. You need only to
glance at the list Of his subjects to see
the line OF thought and the possibll-
Iities they present. All of them lie
handles with hand of master.
| DIR. II. q. HILL
OF indianapolis, is one OF lndianas
powerful pulpit orators. Large ana Oh
GOOD address, he creates an impression
at the outset. In his impressive
moments he makes you forget all out
the subject in hand. DR.. Hill wouldht
be as popular as he is but for strong
sense of humor which makes his lee
lures 80 palatable. He's one OF the
men of the times and it's good to see
and hear him.
