THE COMING LECTURE COURSE.

|
AS was announced some weeks ago il
the Opinion, we are to have another ex
cellent entertainment course this winter
A brief sketch of the attractions together
with the dates on which they will appear
follows:
October 21st. On this date the COM
mittee is pleased to announce that they
will present The Pilgrim Girls, with Miss
Janet Chesney as Reader. The Pilgrim
Girls is a ladies orchestra of six pieces,
and from the reports which we received
from Boston. Worcester, Salem and Rut-
land we judge that they are an exceeding
ly fine organization and that they will be
an excellent number with which to open
our Course.
November 21st brings us the famous
Floyds, the Magicians As a rule magi-
clans are not particularly popular here,
but this trio is so far ahead of the ordina-
ry magicians that there is really no COM
parison. At Nashville, Tenn, they have
what is considered the largest and most
expensive entertainment course held any
where in the United States, and the
Floyds are the only company that was
ever asked to give their entertainment
twice in the same season at the Nashville
Course. This should be sufficient proof
of their ability.
December I'd. We have with us what
is perhaps the most famous musical or
ganzaton in all New England, the fam
Gus Schubert Male Quartette and with
them will come Catherine Cole, one of the
best lady readers in this country Little
need be said of the Schuberts, for any
one who has ever heard them will tell you
that they rank second to none as a male
quartet With favorable weather they
will draw one of the largest audiences
that Bradford has seen for some time.
Januaryt20th. This date will bring us
The Masquers, company consisting of
1valoo Pearl Eddy and Edna Mary Rog
ers. They present character work which
is without equal, and they offer plays COW
ering a wide range of subjects; in fact, the
program of The Masquers is 50 varied that
it holds the undivided attention of the
most fastidious audience.
February goth. The Neapolitans. 1t
is with pardonable pride that the Com
mittee announce that they have procured
for the fifth number of our course, the
famous Neapolitans. This company, con-
sisting of eleven Italians; is by far the
largest and most expensive attraction
which has ever been brought to Bradford
In any entertainment course; in fact, il is
only because this company happens to be
making a tour through this section that
has allowed us to prevail upon The White
Entertainment Bureau to secure them for
this date. Signor Arturo LAMBERT, the
director of the Neapolitans ranks among
the best conductors of Italy, and he has
been prevailed upon to come to America
for this tour. There are five fine soloists:
Flute and piccolo, violin, cello, tenor and
soprano, who will add to the orchestral
and choral parts of the program.
March 5th. On this date we have our
sixth and last number of the Course. The
Hazel Dell Chandler Co., consisting of Ha-
eel Dell Chandler, reader, Vera Lurline
Marsh, pianist, Herbert Wellington Smith
basso, and Elmer Crawford Adams, vio-
linst. Miss Chandler will be remembered
as the reader with The Festival Artists
last winter, and all who heard her were
unanimous in their opinion that she was
one of the best readers they had ever
heard. The other three artists in the
company will, in their different depart
ments maintain the high standard set
by Miss Chandler. This company is ex
pected to provide fitting close to the fin
est Entertainment Course which Bradford
has yet known.
The Committee very much desire to sell
225 season tickets, which is twelve more
than were sold last year, and we sincerely
hope that all who can will purchase these
tickets, as the committee will not hesitate
to guarantee the patrons of the course
their moneys worth. The season tickets,
to the entire six numbers, will
be sold for $500, and up near the 200
mark have already been sold. Won't you
help boost the number up a little farther?
