RARE MUSICAL TALENT
 COMING 10 BRINK.EY
Will Appear at Auditorium
 Monday Evening.

Miss Elma E. Smith, the we'll known imitator, and Miss Mabel Helen Rogers, the harpist, will appear here as one of the numbers on our ly ceum course. Their program Is the combined effort of two finished artists and will please everyone from the chil- dren to the grownups.
 Miss Smith is an imitator of birds. animals, and above all, of little chil- dren. She has q childish figure and appears on the platform wearing curls, 6 little bobbing skirt, baby socks and slippers of a small girl. She has ex- cellent control of her facial expression and depicts the emotions of her child fish characters on her face.
 In the story of Bad Boy, Jacky,' who is being tried in fairyland for his cruelties to his pets, she initiates the birds and animals, translating their testimonies into the human language. Probably the most wonderful bit of imitation she does! is in the story a two-days-old baby would tell if it
The Brinkley argus., 1917-11-30

could talk The cooing, and aimless movements of hands and arms are present, together with the snuffling and rubbing of eyes. Miss Smiths true imitation of the baby cry in this num- Der has made her famous, both on the vaudeville and lyceum stage.
 Miss Helen Rogers is an exception al harpist. While the harp is at least one of the oldest instruments, if not the oldest, there are very few mas ters of this difficult instrument. David, the early court harpist, soothed the tempestuous breast of King Saul, but few have chosen to
The Brinkley argus., 1917-11-30

emulate him in soothing the mental tempests of these sorry times. There has been some very beautiful harp music written, and when executed by master of the instrument, 1t will make anyone forget his troubles.
 It might interest you to know that the harp has 45 strings and seven pedals, which permit of 21 pedal ac- tions, and makes it possible to produce six distinct tones on each string. These facts, together with the high cost of the instrument, has not crowd ed the field with real harpists.
 You can't afford to miss hearing these artists. Why not secure your tickets today?

DOES THE BABY THINk2

At one time or another you may have looked Into the eyes of cute little youngster some few days old and wondered what the little stranger thought of you and its surroundings in this earthly vale. Just as you ar rived at the conclusion that possibly it couldn't think at all as yet, its tiny clinched fists shot into it's eyes very much as If 1t wanted to rub away an impression too much for It's little un- (lerstandlng. If you have witnessed this, the imitation given by Miss Elma B. Smith will strike you as the truest thing you have seen in years.
