AUDUBON TO HAVE
ECTURE COURSE
FIRST NUMBER OF SERIES OF
GOOD THINGS TO COME ON
MONDAY, OCTOBER ri.


Anyone in doubt as to the advisa-
bility of supporting good, wholesome
entertainment during the war has
only to turn to the chautauqua his
tory of this past summer and study
the vast amount of good they have
done in the communities visited.
Patriotism has been aroused as
never before. A vast amount of val
liable information has been brought
to the audiences, the music and en-
tertainment features acted as balm
to tired and worried minds. Moth
ers pining for absent sons have been
cheered, faltering sons have seen
their duty and answered the call to
arms.
These wholesome lectures~and ep-
tertainments are going to be needed
even more during the fall and winter
months. Our boys will be taking an
ever-increasing part in the great
cause of humanity lover there" and
the stress will grow more intense
Winter will make outdoor distraction
practically impossible and the people

relaxation.
To meet this need the local lyceum
committee has arranged for an un-
usually attractive course as briefly
described below.
The Olson Sisters are no novices in
the entertainment and musical world
for they have been pleasing audi
ences all over America for the past
eight years. We have had some splen-
did trios on the local lyceum course
in years past, but nothing superior
to this organization. AS smiles are
needed greatly in these trying times,
they will put much humor in their
program, and every number Will be
timely and good. Three real sisters.
they have grown up together and
form a musical unit that has thar
mony" for its middle name. This
number will be given at the High
School assembly room, Monday eve
ming, Oct. 81.
Nov 19-Maud Darlington Booth,
little mother of the prisons" as she
is lovingly known to the bowman
outs" of America, will deliver but
three addresses in Iowa this season,
and we were indeed fortunate in Sc
curing one of them. Mrs. Booth has
done a wonderful work for mankind
and her story is full of heart-inter-
est to all. There is not woman in
America today more beloved and
honored. The good she has done
can never be reckoned. She is Won
derfully appealing speaker, with a
fine voice and command of words.
Aside from the interest felt in her
personally, and her great work, she
| is a delight simply as lecturer, This
number alone is worth the price of
a season ticket.
Dec. 18th comes the Saxaphone
Siv, a splendid orchestra and saxa-
phone sextette organized by that
| past master of the musical art, Be-
| humir Kryl. In fact, the six men in
| the company are from his big chau-
tauqua band of the past summer, and
the sextette was one of the big
musical novelty features of the sea
son. Mrs Pearle Hughes, a noted
contralto soloist, will be featured in
the program as both soloist and plan
list. This organization is a fitting
successor to the Bohemian and Ru
manian orchestras OF the past two
seasons, and offers in the saxa
phone sextette a distinctly new fea
ture, in addition to the straight or
chestral numbers.
