| ship of the Philharmonic CluD, ana the
city schools. The purpose Of the
course is to bring to our city talent
that will at once be educatiye, enter
tanning and uplifting, and at the same
time provide a fund that will go toward
/ fitting up the gymnasium in the high
school. All surplus funds raised will
be in cnarge of Mrs. j. r. Pennington
and Miss Daisy Nichols. They will see
that the funds go for that purpose.
The following six great attractions
will appear:
The heldaffer-SKiOinsky company,
composed of three artists. Madame
Riheldaffer is recognized by both press
and public as one of the greatest Amer
ican sopranos. She has been soloist
for the famous Thomas Orchestra of
Chicago, and at the Liszt Centennial
| hald in Carnegie Hall in Pittsburgh
she appeared as the soloist, where her
ovation was tremendous. The platform
probably has no artist who reaches
he soul of the hearer as Madame
Riheldaffer Alexander Won Shbinsky,
the great Russian violinist, compares
favorably in technical and interpreta-
| tive genius with Wieniawski and SarO-
safe. He is highly endorsed by DR.. Karl
! Muck and has appeared before the
royalties of the German court in Pots
dam. Clarence j. Velie, accompanist
and pianist, is the third Of this great
group of artists and is in every way
worthy as an artist.
Senator James X. Vardaman, was to
appear earlier in the year Conditions
here made it impossible for him to be
here before this time, SO his date has
been postponed till later date or If
= it is impossible to secure him for a
| later date. another number will be
placed in his stead that viii meet
with the approval of the committee.
senator Vardaman is one Of the unique
agures in American politics and is
probably one Of the most thrilling ora
tors in the United States senate.
The Slhuman Quintet is probably
as well established in the hearts Of
the music-loying public assany musical
organization in America. They stand
at the head in their line and need no
introduction to music lovers.
The Metropolitan Grand Quartet
will be musical event in our city.
These four men can sing-both indi-
vidually, in solo, and collectively as
quartet Each voice is great voice.
| Each has had extensive experience IN
part singing so that their voices blend
almost perfectly and splendid ensem-
Die effects are the result.
Madame Evelyn Scotney, the great
coloratura soprano of the Boston Op-
era Company, will probably be the
great musical attraction of the year.
She is a protege of the great Melba
and sings one-half note higher than
Tetrazzini She is one of the few wom-
en- capable of the role Queen OF the
Night" in the Magic Flute" Mr..
Howard Edward White, also of the
Boston Opera Company, is worthy CO.
singer of the great Scotney.
Frederick Warde is the last Of the
| great galaxy of old line actors. He is
probably the greatest living Shakes
pearean scholar. His lectures are
Shakespeare and His Plays, The Wom-
en- of Shakespeare, The Wit and Wis
dom of Shakespeare's Fools, etc.
The pupils of the high school are
selling the tickets as are the ladies
of the clubs. Get a season ticket and
save money and help the gymnasium
and at the same time be one of the
number attending thebest series OF
entertainments ever brought to Ard
more.
The offer of free tickets to school
children applies only to high school
pupils and not to the grade pupils.
Word has just been received from
Dallas that the manager of the Dixie
Lyceum Bureau, appreciating the fine
spirit shown by the citizens OF Ard
more. has agreed that the Grand Op
era Artists shall come in the place
of Senator Vardaman, on Nov. 3. The
Grand Opera Artists consist of Nine
Cara Sapin, contralto, Louis Besserer
violinist. Beatrice Holbrook, pianist
Rafael Diaz, tenor. Madame Sapin
was brought to America on a five
years contract by Oscar Hammer
stein: Rafael Diaz accompanied Nine
Tetrazzini on her 1913 tour of the Unit
ed States. 1t is a great addition to the
course here.
