FOURTH NUMBER
OF LECTURE COURSE
IN Evening of Improvisation with
NJ. Phidelia Rice at Kentucky
Wesleyan College.

Phidelia Rice will give a rendition
of "David Garrick" at the chapel of
X. W. c., on Tuesday evening, Feb
ruary ID, at o'clock.
Mr.. Rice gave "The Peaceful Val
ley" last year at the original Chau-
tauqua, Chautauqua, n. Y. one ev-
ening bsfore more than 5000 people.
At the close of the hour and half
rendition he was call led back twice
By the large audience. Two nights
later he gave 'David Garrick" and at
the close the Chautauqua Salute
was started in the audience and wild
iy taken up-a most unusual ova-
ton as Bishop Vincent usually starts
this salute from the platform and it
is given but a few times in an entire
season.
For example, during the past sum-
mer it was given in honor of British
Ambassador Bryce as he rose to
speak and 10 Wafer L.: i as lie
appeared with his orchestra of fifty
pieces. The ovation, therefore,
which Mr.. Rice received from this
large audience was one of the most
unusual ION record. This incident
should be enough in itself to inspire
interest in his coming to this city.
