y This Season Beginning On
Z December 5rh.

Tic liRn OClOOl has tdfkCH RC VI
the Lecture Course for this season and
has arranged for series of exception
ally fine entertainments. Several OF
these attractions have been booked
independently Of any bureau so that
better quality of talent has been secur-
ed tnan can usually be afforded. Also
because of the better rate received,
there will be six fine attractions in
stead of the five usually booked. The
price OF the course tickets however,
will remain the same.
Manager Adams OF the Temple Thea
tre has booked no big attractions for
the winter and Lecture Course is al
most necessity TO furnish high class
entertainment for the public. 1t is
benefit to any community and every
one interested in better town ought
to get behind it and boost.
:? On Tuesday, Dec. 5th, the Course
will be opened by the Chicago Orches-
tral Sextette, strong company OF ex-
perienced musicians, giving high
class popular concert, Of great variety.
The company includes male quartet,
soprano soloist, contralto, reader and
in the orchestral numbers uses the vio-
lin, saXephones, cello, trombone and
piano. No other company can surpass
it in playing either classical or popular
music and the vocal numbers never
fail TO please the most critical. This
one number is worth the one dollar
which the entire course ticket will cost.
DR.. John Merritte Driver, whose
lecture is usually secured only on pay
ment of fee of $50 will be the at
traction on Dec. 18th. DR.. Driver is
the successor of the famous Dr. Frank
Crane of the Peoples Church, Chicago,
and has degrees from several large
universities in this country and abroad.
He returns to Europe on the tenth OF
January for a study of the war condi-
tions and we are fortunate to get him
for this number.
On January 9th we have return
engagement with Byron w. King, the
veteran lecturer who made such a hit
on the course last season and who is
better known than any man on the
lecture platform today. He can enter
tain with humorous as well as serious
thoughts and is famous as a reader of
humorous verse. He never fails to
leave an impression of being a master
in his art and a keen and witty philoso-
pher of life. Many East Jordan people
would pay dollar just to hear King
again.
THE attraction on Jan. Is will be the
Kuehn Concert Company, party OF
four artists giving program of instru-
mental and vocal Mr.. Kuehn, leader
of the company, was for many years
the first violinist for the Thomas
Orchestra of Chicago. He is native
of Germany and was for some years
the concertmaster of the Hamburg
Philharmonic Orchestra. The cellist
with the company is Mr.. Nicoai Zedeler
who will be remembered here as hav-
ing appeared with the Schumann Quin-
tet two years ago. He has been solo
cellist with the metropolitan Opera
Company of New York. The vocalist
of the party was characterized by Opie
Read, the author, in these words There
is no sweeter voice on the American
platform, which means the platform of
the world.
On February 26th We will have the
Operate Quintette, representing a
program OF collections from standard
operas and operettas. The five people
making up this company are sent out
by the Ithica Conservatory OF Music
and have pleased large audiences all
over the country. 1t is of the same
high class as the other concert numbers.
The course will be closed on March
l4th with lecture by Frank Dixon,
one of the Redpath Bureaus most able
and most popular men, man OF long
platform experience. Mr.. Dixon has
sfeeial message along the line Of civic
pride which should be heard by every
citizen. He is brother OF Thomas
Dixon, author OF the Birth OF Nation
and other great plays and novels. Mr..
Dixon has as great reputation as
lecturer as his brother has as an author
and we are fortunate to secure him for
tie number.
The price for season tickets for the
entire six numbers is only $1.00 for
adults and 75c for pupils of the schools
This is the biggest bargain that lecture
course patrons were ever offered anc
the attendance should be larger thar
ever. Don't fail to buy when called
upon by the students Of the high school
