BiACKFOOT HIGH SCHOOL Lee
TURE COURSE.

The management of the High
School Lecture Bureau wishes to an
nounce that they have secured tai
ent from the famous Ridpath Lyceum
Bureau for the winter season. There
will be five numbers in this years
course and these have been selected
with the greatest care as to quality.
There is not a single number on the
course of which there can be any
question as to ability and character.
The first four numbers are the same
standard as the Alex SkogOOrd Con-
cert Company of last year, and the
Ridpath Company have given the
management written contract to the
effect that any enc purchasing tic
ket to the this course, may receive
their admission fee at the close of
any entertainment, by merely stating
to the one in charge that the program
was not equal to the above mention
ed concert. The fourth and last num-
Der of the program will be given by
local talent and perhaps some out
side help. The idea that prevailed
this year was quality rather than
quantity, hence the four numbers
were made the very best that money
could buy and the fifth number will
give all chance to hear the best of
Blackfoot's musical talent in select
ions that are at once familiar and
classical.
Last year proved that Blackfoot
appreciated good things in the Ly-
ceum line and from the many ex-
pressions 1t has been clearly ascer-
tanned that nothing but the best
would satisfy them. Last years
course was brought at the end OF the
season when there was no choice in
talent, hence but two of the attract
ions were of the highest order. This
year the management IS paying more
money for the four numbers than
was expected for the seven of last
year.
In order to put this course in the
reach of all it has seemed best to
sell the tickets at the same prices as
last year. i. e., one dollar for school
children and one and half dollars,
for adults. The single admission tic
kets will be seventy-five cents for the
concerts and soc for the lectures.
However there will be seats reserved
| for those who buy season tickets so
as to secure them of good position
in the auditorium.
The first number will be given
November the first. The Kathryne
| Ridgway company will open the
course. Miss Ridgway is famous not
only in America but in every English
speaking nation as dramatic read
err. She is the best on the American
stage at the present time. She has
with her this year fine company of
musicians, each of whom is star in
her line. Many Blackfoot people
have heard Miss Ridgway and know
that this number alone is worth the
price of a season ticket. The second
number is Judge Alden. Here again
is the best America affords in the
lecture line. He has made good in
lectures where he had Byran, Graves,
Hadley, and Watterson as co-workers.
Then comes Ralph Bingham who was
recently selected Prince of American
entertainers at the great Winnona
meeting of Lyceum talent where were
met all the great men and women OF
the Lyceum platform. The fourth
number will be a concert by the Max
Bergen Concert Company consisting
of four talented musicians. Mr. Ber-
gen is with doubt Americas leading
baritone ana the other members of
his company are on par with him.
Prof. Rowden recommended this
company to the management as being
THE BEST.
You will receive but one invitation
to secure season tickets. When call
ed upon do not delay or bubble.
There is nothing that comes to Black
foot so good as this course and moth"
ing so reasonable in price.
