Tb4 lending of the Central Grand
ConcS~ company to US In the spring
will eoknplete the five attractions or
iginailT planned for Meeker. This
company was scheduled to appear
hsrs early in December, but through
unavoidable circumstances it was
compelled to cancel the engagement.
The Gertrude Goodwin-M Miller Con-
cert company, scheduled to appear
here ON the 10th of this month, is
conceded to be one of the best musi-
cal attractions on the Lyceum circuit
today. This company has appeared
In some of the largest opera houses
throughout the country, and 1t has
more than given satisfaction. Follow
. few press extracts:
Through her marvellous insight
into literature, and her equally mar
vslous presentation of 1t, the art of
Miss Gertrude Goodwin Miller touch
o. life in . way to make 1t deeper and
sweeter. There is no reader before
the American public today who has
greater dramatic power than Miss
Miller. Add to this talent charm
Ing personality, fine intellect, a
splendid voice and that rare magnet,
10 quality which 10 not to be taught
In schools, and you will understand
why 1t is that she never fails to cap
tivate her audience. Miss
Niller's advent into this field has
created . greater stir in the literary
and dramatic world than anything
that has occurred in the memory Of
tbs present generation. In her por-
tfaysl Of human emotions, from the
ndat brilliant gayety to the deepest
- ", she II wonderfully realistic
1hd effective. Her interpretations
Rise shove the level Of mere enter
tainment, and have . creative snd in
forming quality which il not found
In other work Of the kind. She makes
the readers art seem greater than the
actors, for without the help Of elab-
crate stage settings her characters
materiAlize before US; they love,
hate, rejoice and suffer a. We do.
And since these characters are the
creation Of one brain there is q per-
feet balance and proportion that one
sometimes misses when = drama Is
presented by . company or artists,
however eklll0O.
Miss Ailler's supporting company
comprises three remarkable artists.
Miss Edna Bents, the pianist, Is
genius that is quite impos-
sible to adequately describe. Music
is a. . part Of her very life, and to
hear her scholarly interpretations,
either OF the old masters or her own
compositions, 10 . treat both rare and
Mr.. Rak Hammer, the
Scandinavian tenor, although only
short time in America, has been an
emphatic success here. He has one
of the greatest voices on the concert
stage. Backed by his magnificent
physique, Mr.. Hammer has . most
powerful voice, but one SO beautiful
ly trained that there is no trace OF
the hsrshness or unmusical quality
so often heard with robust tenors.
His Interpretation Of the songs Of the
North, such - the splendid Greig
are second to none. Then
as fitting associate Of these artists
ID Mr.. Josef Konecny, the Bohemian
violinist. He has had years Of study
under such renowned teachers as Ko-
clan and 9avecik (teachers Of Kebe-
lik). This young Bohemian wizard
plays himself into the very hearts
and souls Of bis listeners.
