II Was a Success.

The first number of the Lyceum
course was given at the Paramount
Theater last Friday evening, the hall
being fill to its capacity, due in a
measure to the efforts of the Woman'S
Club, of Columbia, who put forth
every effort to make the start of the
Lyceum Course a success. The pro-
gram started little before O'Clock
and for an hour the audience was de-
lightfully entertained with the harp,
readings and songs. The two ladies
who make up the Lotus Club appear
ed and they were at their best, rend-
ering such numbers as are enjoyed by
cultured audience. The performers
were frequently encored, and they quit
the stage, knowing that their efforts
were highly pleasing. The next num-
Der will be January 9Th, at which
time Hon. Ben Lindsey will deliver a
popular lecture.
Miss Hamilton is an artist of great
versatility, being equally charming in
child representation, and both popu-
lar and classic songs. Her voice, a
clear sweet soprano, of easy range,
probably was at its best, in the French
group; though her songs of the south
and her modern selections we're equal
ly enjoyed.
Miss Lawrence is a harpist of unus-
ual ability, and her Accomplishments
added much to the songs. Her talk
on the harp was most interesting and
instructive to all.
