Dow City is to have a splendid five
number lyceum course this season.
This will be good news to all lovers
of clean and educational entertain
ment.. The proceeds of this cause will
be used to purchase apparatus for the
school playground. Every one who is
interested in the development of chill
drens should be interested in play
ground equipment. BY patroniZing the
lyceum course is one way to provide
funds for playground apparatus. This
cause will be under the management
Of the board of education, therefore
there will be no war tax to pay. Adult
season tickets. are each $3.50, chill
dren's season tickets are each IS
cents, adult single tickets are so cents,
chih's single ticket Is cents. Let ev.
eryone come to enjoy the lyceum enter
tainment, 1t is a mental tonic and up
lift that every community needs and
its benefits are so far reaching that
all people interested in education rec
ognize them. LET US show our appre-
citation Of the, committees efforts in
bringing the scourse to the community
by purchasing season tickets before
opening number. The Bonnie Brook
company, December 18th, is one Of the.
most pleasing two person companies
known to, the lyceum. They are So
versatile that they easily give a full
evenings program and make their
audience glad there are no more in
the company because it enables them
to give more Of their work. Bonnie
Brook sings character songs typical Of
a number of countries and in apprO-
pirate costume. She is also an excel
lent reader. Lucille Blakely, the plan
ist and accompanist, is an artist who
has had successful experience in sew
eral we'll known lyceum companies.
Either of these entertainers is cap
able Of giving an entire program alone,
but when they combine their efforts
the audience simply has to surrender.
Silent Mora, February I'd, won this
title because, unlike most magicians,
he does not depend upon his dialogue
or "playt of words" to keep his audi
ence interested in his work or to d.
tract their attention while doing a
trick. In fact he scarcely talks at all
while working, but depends on his
adroitness and mastery of his art to
deceive the eye when all the facilities
of the mind of his audience are CEN
tered on catching him. His imperso-
nation Of a Chinese magician gives
him a chance to display a lot of 0rlen-
tai magic and slight Of hand seldom
ever seen before on a 1yceum plat
form. This will be kids night" and
all children from Z to n are invited.
The American Girls, March 9Th, are
said to be the best versatile trio OF en-
;tertainers ever offered to lyceum au-
diences. They grew up together in
q western town and since the days of
their high school life have appeared
together in public. For some six years
they have been professional entertain
ers, hence their team work has been
developed to near perfection. There
will be vocal trios, saxophone trios,
banjo trios. reading and other num-
.bers galore that would set the pace
for the average six person company.
Best of all they excel in each type of
music or entertainment. In brief they
are three real American girls in Amer
lean program of genuine merit. Miss
Beryl Buckley, March 18th, is an art
list who Elves every character she in
terprets." She so totally forgets self
when on the platform that she be-
comes for the moment in very fact as
