SPLENDID
LYCEUM
COURSE
SECURED
BY Y.M.C.A

1t may not be known generally by
the public that months ago, during
the booking season, splendid series
of Lyceum attractions was secured
for Canon City. The better class Of
entertainments are always secured
thru well known Lyceum Bureaus
who route their attractions thru the
territory in as economical way as
possible, thus giving opportunity for
every town which takes pride in the
community uplift to secure the best
attractions. Thus the young people
of our community and citizens gener-
ally may, during the fall and winter
months, hear the best music, art, pub
lie speaking, and entertainment,
which is always clean and uplifting.
Scarcely town with any pride or am
bition along these lines can be found
on the map these days but what con.
ducts either Lyceum course during
the winter and fall and a Chautauqua
during some one week in the summer,
or both. In fact nearly every town
has a Lyceum course, whether they
have Chautauqua or not. This could
not be said of the west few years
ago, but the western towns are com.
ing to the front in these matters, the
same as all over the Last, and it is
with no little pride that we have
selected an unusually good course for
this season.
AS the attractions appear from time
to time, announcements will be made
of their particular kind of program

1t is much desired by the committee
in charge that these dates be protect
ed in planning your activities for the
year, taking the dates of these enter
tainments' into consideration. Each
number is going to be well worth
while and will be without doubt the
very best of public performances that
Canon City will have the opportunity
of hearing this season.
Orders for tickets are now being
taken at the following places: Palace
and Corner Drug Stores, Felters and

The prices will be the same as usual
while the standard has been raised

is concerned, as you will notice by
looking over the folder that has been
placed in your hands
The committee stands back of all
advertising appearing from time to

that nothing will be misrepresented.
The committee also requests that
