tribut0r to our literature has SO vivid

bells as has Edgard len Poe In his
poem entitled The Bells"
The feature which characterlzes the
programs OF the Dunbar Quartette is
the absolute blending of their selec-
tions into a complete whole. There is
II consistency in these programs which
has distinguished them among all the
Lyceum and Chautauqua attractions
Of the last double decade. No feature
will be- remembered longer than the
beautiful chimes and harmonies which
are introduced in their sacred selec-
tions. Their original transcription in
which are heard excerpts of beautiful
songs sung by the players accompanied
by the bells will be counted by many
the most beautiful music they have
ever heard. The young men introduce
Il sufficient amount of humor to leaven
the program properly and to sustain
