DenisOn is to have lecture course
this year, which will be conducted I'M
der the auspices of the Denison high
school. as was the case last year. SUI
perintendent of Schools c. f. Humph-
rey. together with other members of
the high school faculty, have undertake
en- the responsibility and with the CO.
operation OF the students there is lit
tie doubt but what it will be success
full from a financial standpoint Season
tickets are now being sold and with
the high class talent which has been
secured there is little doubt but what
there will be enough tickets sold to de-
fray the expenses.
The course this year is made up of
seven numbers, consisting of lectures
and fine musical entertainments. Last
year there was considerable complaint
over the fact that many of the num-
bers were given on Wednesday and
Saturday evenings. This difficulty has
been overcome for the course this year
has no entertainments scheduled for
Wednesday or Saturday evening, thus
permitting the business men and
clerks to attend the entire course.
A few words in regard to the diff
ferent numbers will not be amiss at
this time. The course will open on
Monday evening, October 4th. with
musical entertainment of the highest
order Alberto Salvi, harpist: Mar
o,,:< I'LL, ;c% Low
Hedstrom, soprano, will compose a
trio of rare ability. Salvi is an ltal-
ian musician of note. His playing is
a revelation and critics and musicians
generally who have heard him are
amazed at the power, brilliancy, tone
quality, tinesse and artistic tempera
ment he displays. Marguerite Austin.
the violinist. was the favorite pupil
Of Caesar Thompson. Her playing is
mature. forceful and authoritative, her
personality appealing and sympathet-
ic. Florence Hedstrom, the soprano,
has risen to a high position in the con-
cert field through the wonderful pow
er of her beautiful voice and her fine
musical equipment. Both press and
public have been generous in recog-
nizing the gift of this charming young
artist as is attested By her many fiat
tering press notices and return en-
gagements. The opening number Of
the course promises to be exceptional
ly fine and one that no one can afford
to miss.
The second number on the course is
also musical number and will be Civ
en- on Friday evening, October Goth.

by Antonio Sala, viOloncellist; Mignon-
ne Meeker. sopranist. and Lois Brown.
pianist. Antonio Sala is but twenty
one years of age and has already be-
come 'cellist at the Spanish court, a
coveted honor that is sought by many.
but bestowed upon few. 1t is seldom
that a musician of this character can
be secured on lyceum program and
Denison is to be congratulated upon
securing him. Miss Meeker has an
established reputation of the first
quality in the concert field and is a tai
ented sopranist. Lois F.. Brown. plan
list, has just returned from Germany.
where she spent five years in study
and touring the principal cities. She
is musician of great ability.
The first lecture will be that OF Ar
thur Walwyn Evans, the WEIGH humor
ist He is relative of David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer
of Great Britain. and is now pastor of
one of the largest Congregational
churches in southern Ohio. No man
on the platform today is in greater de-
mand than DR.. Evans.
Mrs Fenetta Sergeant Hoskell,
reader. will appear on Tuesday eve
ming, November goth, and promises to
be one of the best numbers of the
course. She is a dramatic reader of
ability and her readings from Dickens
have been received enthusiastically in
the leading cities and countries Of the
world. Her repertoire includes more
than twenty diversified programs.
On Friday evening, December 18th,
Denison people will have the oppor-
tunity OF hearing DIR. G. Whitetield
Ray. the explorer, author and lecturer,
known to scientific men as "fThe Liv-
ingstOne of South America TO the
literary people he is known by his
book, Through Five Republics on
Horseback"
The Apollo Concert company is the
evening, January 18th. The company
is made up OF Mrs. Alta II. Wells, Miss
Gladys Harding, reader and vocalist:
Mr. George Shuts, Mr. Arthur Wells
and Mr.. Walter Stuebe. This will be
a musicale of very high character.
The closing number of the course
will be Sidney Landon. well known to
Denison people, having appeared here
previously. He will present character
studies of great literary men and will
be- treat for all.
The course this year was secured
at a great expense in order to present
the best in talent. Had it not been
for the high school taking up the mat
ter DenisOn probably would not have
had lecture course this season and
we sincerity hope that people will show
their appreciation by purchasing tick
cts.
