Alice Nielsen, Lyceum.
Miss Alice Nielsen, who opens the
Topeka Lyceuna series next week, has
had a varied experience as a singer.
Starting as she did in a small way,
she has had probably the most varied
experience of any artist on the plat
form today. Starting as a juvenile
and later singing in church her first
work on the platform was in straight
comedy Then came light opera, then
grand opera, followed by concert and
oratorio work. One thing Miss Mel
sen seems to have kept in mind from
the start is the value of cheerfulneSS
and good nature. Of course these
elements are communicated to the
audience and the battle is half won
at the start.

movie way about the late news.
