NEXT WINTERS COURSE
Arrangements Completed for Great
Series of Events. Dr. Driver Coming
Back and DR.. OFT also to Lecture

The success Of course of lectures and
entertainments given in Barton the past
season under the auspices of the
school, proves beyond question that
when talent of the highest class is
secured and the matter properly
presented to our people, they not only
support the course but like it and want
it continued on that basis. Being
confident on this point, and desirous
of securing choice of talent and advan-
tageous datings, the committee has
arranged great series for next
winter.
About November first the course
will open with a concert by the
Maurer Sisters Concert company.
This quartette of dainty entertainers
come from South Bend. Indiana and
have been sensational success for
four years in the best courses of the
west. They are instrumentalists of
great ability, and offer solos for violin,
flute. cornet and piano. and all of the
different combinations such instrument
tation makes possible. They are
| clever singers too, and one of the
young ladies adds much to the program
with humorous readings and clever
impersonations and stories.
In early December there will be a
concert by the Music Makers, one of
the finest male quartettes on the
American platform. In their rendition
of classic songs, songs with action and
humorous numbers, they are inimita-
BILE. The first tenor, Mr.. Garrett,
furnishes excellent solos on the saxa-
phone and Mr.. Huff. the baritone, is
an impersonator and humorist. The
company is composed of cultured young
men of unusual talent, who have been
reigning success for five years in the
lyceum. One of the strongest instru-
mental features is their playing upon
large double myrimbaphone. a
chromatic instrument whose tone is
produced by striking felt hammers on
tuned grenadilla wood bars, to which
are attached aluminium resonators.
The effect is much like a great harr
and the Quartette play standard over.

and more popular novelties.
The committee are especially pleased
to announce Mr.. Montaville Flowers
in his enactment of Charles Dickens's
"A Christmas Carol" one of the gems
of English literature. No creator OF
portrayer of character has won such
recognition as Dickens, and Mr.
Flowers is also able in making eacl
character stand out with all of it,
individuality that the hearers interes
is held from the first and the vivie
heart story seems a present day
reality. Mr.. Flowers is by many
accorded the highest place amone

that this event will linger long witt

international Lyceum Association
composed of all the principal lyceun
artists, about eight hundred in mum

holiday time makes it most timely.
