1t is impossible in a few words to
adequately present this list of talent.
"A brief statement may, however. help
to explain what and who they are.
The course will he opened Oct. 16
by Schildkret's Orchestra. This or
ganization has been In the Lyceum
field for sixteen years and still re-
itains its popularity. This orchestra
was brought to this country during
the Worlds Fair and played in Chi
cago at that time. They have played
for the best society all over the coun-
try. Mrs. Marshall Field and Mrs.
Potter Palmer always engaged them
when they not on the road.
They played for Thomas Upton at
the Chicago Athletic Club, and they
have played for Miss Roosevelt at
Washington, D. G. Mr.. Schildkret is
a composer himself of no mean abil-
ity.

to excel her sister or not may be
doubted perhaps; but If she APP
proaches in any sense the popularity
of Miss Rfdgeway, that, in itself, VIII
be recommendation enough for the
company.
i Mr.. Sylvester A. Long is a new
man INF the field, but so able that
there are no open dates in his time.
His popularity rivals that of Thomas
Brooks Fletcher, the young lecturer
who peased Mitchell people SO we'll
two years ago. Up until the year
1904 Mr.. Long was in the teaching
profession. A lecturer then, as a
side issue, the demand for his SER
vices on the platform became SO
unanimous that he has, since 1904,
given his entire time to platform
work.
The record of Ex-Gov. Frank J..
Han1y is too we'll known all over
