LYoEuM COURSE FOR CUSTER.

LYCEUM COURSE FOR CUSTER.
The people Of Custer and community
will have the opportunity to enjoy one
OF the best Lyceum courses the coming
season that has been offered to any com
munity. This is the Mutual Lyceum
and Chautauqua System, of Chicago.
The first number will be the Losod's
Russian Quartette on Thursday, Novem-
Der 22nd, at The High School Audi
torium. The Imperial Russian Quar-.
tette, two ladies and two gentlemen Of
the Russian type, all of them true artists
will not suffer in comparison with the
best offered in this city or surrounding
cities. Their instrumental and vocal
efforts are brilliant and masterfully rem
dered. The bright military costumes Of
the Quartette make an imposing APP
pearanCe.
The second number, Miss Sumayeh
Attiyeh, (date to be assigned later is a
native of Syria, Turkey, and comes Of a
talented parentage which her family
traces distinctly back 4jO years. Her
father was government official, a man
of station, while her mother was excep-
tlonally brilliant and well educated
one of her achievements being the
translation of the book The Last DAYS
Of Pompei," from English to Arabic
Miss Attiyeh was educated in an Ameri-
can Mission School in her native coun-
try and came to America seven years
ago to continue her studies. The official
standing of her father gave her entree
to many places which brought to her
scenes and customs which were not per-
mitted to the average person. Because
OF this and an exceptionally full knowl-
edge of her people she brings to the
platform a wealth of information and
incident regarding this interesting peo
pie, which is at once rare and pleasing
She appears in her native costumes
which are very beautiful and novel, one
of which is over one hundred years old.
The personal acquaintance of things Of
which she speaks, her native personal
charm, and her complete abandonment
to a faithful protrayal, places her in a
class by herself, and makes her read
ings and talks valuable number for
any course.
The third number, Saturday, February
10th, 1918, The Ionian SerLaders com
posed of four women who sing, read and
play skillfully both in ensemble and in
dividual selections. This is a very fine
entertainment and conceded to be one
of the best Lyceum numbers on the
road and where this high ranking or
ches;ra has appeared it has been called
back year after year. This will be a
rare treat that no one who is capable of
enjoying the harmony ofmusic will want
to miss.
The fourth and last number, Robert
S. Seeds, of Birmingham, Pa. Mr.. Seeds
is a Lecturer of nation wide renown,
and comes to US very highly recon-
mended by the Press, Lyceum and
Chautauqua Bureaus. This number was
to have been the opening number of our
course but owing to the serious illness
of Mr.. Seeds it was found necessary to
postpone his lecture to later date.
