ofit?
The Metropolitan GIee Club is COM
posed OF four men, each an expert from
bonist and skilled vocalist. Their quar-
tettes, solos, duets, and monologues will
entertain you to the limit.
The Floyd Featherstone Novelty COM
pany has an equipment of musical lnstru-
ments worth 100000. The Washington
Times says: "Featherstone gets musicout
of ordinary boards and is the only person
appearing before the public who performs
on the banjo with the true darkey method
as we'll as the scientific"
The LABEL Concert C)mplnT is COM
posed of three ladies', who are artists OF
the highest type. Each one is an expert
in her class and are guaranteed sure
cure for all your troubles.
Hal Merton IS everyoody's fayorite.
He does things that make you take no.
tice IRON the beginning OF the programme
till the end. 1t IS impossible TO empha-
size his work too highly. He keeps you
awake and in a most jovial frame OF mind
from the start, and when he stops you
wonder how one man can deceive an
other in full daylight as Hal Merton, the
magician. does.
DR.. Sears has two lectures, and both
abound in wit, humor, philosophy. He
is an all-round entertainer, and ii you
don't feel better after being with him an
hour, you must be strange individual.
Don't fail TO hear him.
Col. Gearhat has made more people
happy than probably any other man on
the American platform. He makes man
feel as if he had place in the world and
tells him how TO fill it and at the same time
get The most out OF life. His work in the
is worth the entire price OF
the season ticket, and Shepherdstown is
to be congratulated that Col. Gearhart is
10 be the platform manager.
