The Chicago Glee Club stands
among the best male quartets of the
country. The club may be classed
with the older organizations, as 1T
has been constantly before the pub
lie since February, 1899. Few changes
in membership, voices perfectly adj
apted to the parts assumed, and an
artistic musical temperament have
produced very. high degree of ex-
celence. The repertoire of the club
comprises the best of all types of
part-song music, and its programs of
male quartets, trombone quartets,
Characterization, vocal and horn So
los, present such variety and merit
as to please every auditor.
Mr. Dixon has been giving imperson
atoms with the club for several sea-
sons. He presents all of his char
acters in makeup, taken from life,
wholesome, refreshing. real, never
overdrawn or exaggerated. His
"Hoosier," an original sketch, illus
trated with poems by James Whit
comb Riley, and Squire Hawkins
Story" are conceded to be among
the very best bits of Characterization
on the platform.
The Trombone Quartet, first intro
duced to the Lyceum by the Chicago
Glee Club, and used only by them, is
one of the most artistic and pleasing
novelties before the public. The
trombone j: conceded to be the
king of wind instruments, and the
effect produced by the four, quite ap-
proaches in sweetness and volume
the quslity and power of the pipe-or-
gan. With these instruments, supple
menting the male quartet, the club is
able to present varied and interest
ing evening.

The seven instruments, three vio-

The most wonderful genius of
Miss Katharine Ridgeway has CONF
PEELED the recognition and admiration
OF the public to such degree that
she is now the most sought-for at
traction in the lyceum world. AS a
dramatic and humorous reader she
stands at, the head of her profession.
Her readings arouse her audiences to
the highest pitch of enthusiasm, SO
complete is her control over the emo
lions of all who sit within the sound
of her voice. Miss Ridgeway is al
ways vivacious and thoroughly charm
ing. Moreover she has broad literary
culture, perfectly modulated voice.
and forensic ability of the highest
type She speaks SO clearly and
me.odiously that every word seems
to have musical value. AS treated
by her an old poem reveals new
beauty and richness, and new read
ing brings into ones life new friends
and experiences, not soon to he for
gotten. Her dramatic readings are
marvels of power, portraiture and in
depreciation, astonishing by the skill
with which she ranges the gamut Of
human emotions, and at times thrill
ing the pulse like the beat of gal!op-
ing hoofs. When she turns her at
tention to humorous productions her
manner of rendering them is irresist-
ible. For pure, hearty fun, with
plenty of human nature and good
character drawing, you could find
nothing better in years journey.
The growth of her popularity has
been phenomenal. Wherever she has
been heard there has been an iacreas-
ing demand each year for a program
containing more OF Miss Ridgeway's
work and fewer interludes. To meet
this she has consented to give enter
tainments in which she will have the
assistance of but one other artist, a
pianist, thereby allowing larger scope
for the exposition of her own inspir-
ing art. One feels. in Miss Ridge
ways interpretations wealth of ex-
perience, breadth of culture. and
thorough knowledge of this splendid
humanity of ours. whether 1t be the!
seventeenth or twentieth century hui
mainly. Add to her genius as a read.
er and Interpreter of character, and
ETC., and to her wonderful voice, the.
attraction of most engaging person
atty, and some idea may be gathered
of the charm of her work.

A good lecture course during the
winter season is one of the very
best entertainments that a town
can secure. 1t is educational as
well as entertaining and its general
influence cannot fail in working
good for the community. For a
number of years Manchester has been
enjoying these winter entertain
ments. They have been of high
class and the community has been
benefited in proportion to the pa
tdonage it has extended. The asso-
citation has been busy selecting a
course for the season of 1901
which is said to be one of the best
all round courses yet selected.
The course has not yet been bought,
but the following numbers have been
selected as a tentative proposition
to be submitted to the people. II
the course appeals to them and suf
ficient season tickets are guaran
teed to pay out on the numbers II
will be secured.
Below will be found complies
and comprehensive description o
each number, which you should al
read. If you expect to attend thu
lectures, secure a season ticket a
this guarantee is what is necessar
to secure the course.
We hope there will be a heart
response and that our .past recor
for high class entertainments ma
be maintained.
