The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1909-10-09
A Feast of Entertainment.

The citizens of this city are to be
favored with first class Lyceun
course of lectures and entertainments
during the present season. They will
be given an opportunity to enjoy sew
eral intellectual treats and luXuries
and they should be most generously
patronized on the long winter nights
The several parties who will come
here to entertain should receive the
most cordial welcome and those who
are getting up this course should re-
ceive the greatest of encouragement
The course is not gotten up nor
maintained as a money making
scheme. nor will the season tickets
be sacrificed at cheap price. The
main object of the promoters of the
course is to secure the very best
talent that is available and this is
expensive. 1t is always better to pay
good price for a good thing than a
low price fer poor thing for by
doing so one gets the satisfaction
that money can bring.
will be furnished by the Central
Grand Concert company which con
sists of four of the most notable and
talented artists in the country. Max
imilian Dick. the violinist, has re-
ceived the highest honors from the
musical centers of Europe and occu-
pies an unrivalled position among
American violinists. The othr mem
bers of the company are Adams, the
violonc ellist; Knowles, the contralto
and Kwaner, the Pianist and their
prominence in the musical world re-
quires no introduction for them. This
one number is actually worth the
price of a season ticket.
Another one of the series of enter
tainments is entitled THE New Zeal
anders" The members of this com
pany come very highly recommended.
| They come from country that has
sprung magic-like from heathendom
to model of civilization. They pre-
sent a standing commentator of the
great work of the Missionaries. The
members of this company were at one
time cannibals and are artists in the
way they tell the story of their prog
ress from cannibalism to culture
through the medium of song, story
and picture.
The most literary number of the
course will be given by Edward p.
Elliott, the Shakesperian scholar, who
will inaugurate his nineteenth year
by treating the most profound sensa,
ton of the modern Theatrical world
''The Servant in the House" This
allegory, it is claimed by some, stands
second only to Pilgrims Progress. v
1t is certainly a great play for the
man who thinks he is saint as well
as for the man who knows he is a
sinner.
Another rich treat in store will be
the presence of J. Adam Bede, the
great humorist of the United States
House of Representatives. Mr.. Bede
is at home in literature and politics
and as Idaho Springs has leaning
towards political affairs, its citizens
will be doubly interested in his lee
ture on "Our Nation; it's Problems
and Progress 1t will be replete
with solid literary thoughts as wei
as with wit and humor.
1t is seldom that community is
favored with such variety and higf
order of talent as will be character
istic of the numbers of this course
1t would be literary and musica
crime not to have the house packet
each and every night. 1t would show
a lack of appreciation on the part o
the intelligence of our community no
to make these events of the Creates
Importance and concern. The dates
will be announced in due time. Per
sons will visit among the people as
far as possible to secure subscrip
tions for season tickets and they
should be met with the glad hand an'
earnest welcome.
