The lYCEUM COURSE
IS NOW COMPLETE.
The Civic League Announces the
Course for the Season of 1873
14.-Very Strong Course.

The Lyceum Course for the season
of 1894 promises to be the most at.
tractive that has yet been offered.
Too much credit cannot be given the
ladies of the Civic League for their
splendid effort in securing this course
for Welsh. All the numbers are high
class and come at high prices. Every
number is elevated, refined and cul.
tured. Too much cannot be said of the
cultural value to a town of a high
class Lyceum Course.
The people of this vicinity are FORUM
ate in being permitted to patronize
this seasons course, and the ladies OF
the Civic League will no doubt find a
loyal and liberal support from all the
people of the town.
The first number will be presented on
November 5th and will be given by the
Chicago Glee Club. This number con.
sists of male quartet and for Is years
has been before the public so that to.
day it is one of the most popular quar-.
tets in the country. Mr.. Dixon, mem
Der OF the quartet, presents all his
character representations in makeup
His characters are taken from life
wholesome, refreshing, real, and never
overdrawn or exaggerated. One Sc
lection, his "HooSier" from the pen OF
James Whitcomb Riley, and some
other original portrayals are acknoWl
edged to be among the best bits Of
Characterization on the platform.
The second number will come abou'
January first and will be the Boston
Musical Club. This company consists
of four male and four female charac
tiers, and their work is concert operi
and minstrelsy. This is said to be
very attractive feature and comesto u
with the very highest endorsement.
| The third will be in the mySteriou
art of legerdemain. Brush the Grea
will be here about February 23rd
Brush the Great is possibly the great
est artist in his line on the platform
His performance is mysterious, excit
ing and pleasing. No course is com
plete without magic artist, and tn
League made happy selection i
getting Bush the Great.
The last number will be presente
some time in March. Edward T
Elliot will be with us then. Elliot is i
the very front ranks of America
lyceum lecturers. He has been TO
twenty-five years on the stage. He
neighbor and friend Of that creates
of all entertainers, James Whitcom
Riley. He has done as much as an
other one man toward raising tn
Lyceum to its best and highest attain
ments. Mr.. Elliot stands for tn
Lyceum as the moral and intellectua
: substitute for the theatre. He take
some play that has been a great SUI
cess and credit to the stage, and a
ranges it into concise story told /
the characters. The characters al
acted out, made real living people, r
wigs, scenery, nor costumes are en-

play in genuine vividness. You hear
