SollS Ill CllduGduuud WOTk anu one
season lecture course work they
have delighted audiences with their
masterful handling of pleasing
programs. 1t is a different CON-
pany. The most pleasing of all
combinations seems to be violin,
singer and reader. To repeat con-
stantly such a company is firing
and the towns begin to complain.
10 make a radical change brings
dissatisfaction, because the new
does not measure up to the old.
10 find such a company which is
also different will appeal to our
patrons as it did to US. The in
PRODUCTION of the cello adds cello
solos and orchestral trio effects de-
llghtful in the extreme. Here we
may have chamber music or scores
from the brightest popular music
of the day. Here we may have
combination work, the redeeming
feature of all concert companies,
in addition to all the variety which
may come through the readings,
the songs, the violin and the piano.
The strength of this company lies
in its trio work. 1t is not inciden-
tai or put up that way to sell.
Their trio work is professional and
runs the gamut of musical compo-
sitions, pleasing all, from the
critic to the novice"
Last but by no means least in
the lecture course, we have the
Meistersingers Male Quartette on
the evening of April 1st, and judg-
ing from the newspaper and per-
sonnel comments, they have rem
dered the greatest of satisfaction
wherever they have appeared.
The Lyceum Bureau has the fol-
lowing good words to say for them:
This we'll known organization
is presented for the season 1911
- with a new addition in the way
of Organ Chimes. Organ Chimes
are an expensive, fragile, PROPOSE
ton hence little used in lyceum
work but their IS no other instru-
ment, novelty or standard, which
will compare with them In fact,
they compare favorably with a
whole orchestra or pipe organ,
SO beautiful is the tone, so reson-
ant and full is the volume and so
many are the notes which may be
sounded at one time. Each note
struck gives four full tones so that
when played in Male Quartette
by eight hands, making thirty-two
tones each time note is struck,
the beauty of the music may be
imagined. So great have these
beautiful chimes impressed certain
Catholic dignitaries of Europe
that a Papal decree has declared
them standard and entirely suit
able to be placed in any Catholic
church. The result is, they are
played in monasteries and churches
all over Europe. The set carried
by the Meistersingers is a forty
nine note set, the largest made.
The singing of the boys with the
chimes will be an important fea-
ture of the program. AS for the
Quartette we need say little. They
blend beautifully, all have trained
voices and they have remarkable
range from low G to high D."
Feeling that a lecture course
would furnish some diversion from
the ordinary run of entertain
ments, both from an educational
and amusement standpoint, the
promoters of the course feel that
they should have the hearty sup
port and cooperation of the pub
lie, and the motives which prompt
ed their actions coming from a
loyal and purely unselfsh source,
should be awarded with the ut
most consideration by our people.
Take as a whole, the FIVE num-
bers of the course offer a splendid
chance for amusement, educational
uplift and a change of diet to the
