A LYCEUM COURSE
Give Betterment Club Succeeds in
Obtaining Six Entertainments
for Coming Season.
First of Series to be Presented on
Friday, Oct. Attractions
Secured of Very Best.

the state university and put on last
fall under the auspices of the Civic
Betterment club was such decided
success in every way that the club
has undertaken to stand sponsor for
the course again this season.
There will be the same number of
entertainments in the course as there
were last year (six), and the season
tickets will be the same price: $1.5O
plus the 15-cent war tax for adults,
and plus the 10-cent war tax for
children
To those who are familiar with the
city prices for such attractions the
price of the tickets seems ridiculously
low, but it must be remembered that
the university furnishes them to us at
cost, and it is not the primary object
of the club to realize money. The
idea is to bring high-class entertain
ments to our town and to have them
within the reach Of everyone.
At this low price, however, there
must necessarily be large sale of
tickets. 1t is to be hoped, therefore,
that the public will give as hearty
support as was given last year.
Single admissions will be SO cents
throughout the course, just as they
were last year, so although one may
not expect to be able to attend all six
entertainments it is obviously an adj
vantage to secure season ticket.
The university sent a man here to
help the committee in charge in the
choosing of the different numbers and
much time and thought was expended
on this work. 1t is no easy task to
choose attractions which will be ac-
ceptable to all the people of whom the
general public is composed.
The committee chose diversified
program and one which it considers
far superior to the one of last year.
The six numbers include a male quar-
tet, a female impersonator, a dram
attic company, musical club, lee
ture and a Japanese entertainment
company. A male quartz is always
popular and the LaSaIle quartet is
considered particularly fine. Miss
Jessie Rae Taylor is rated as one of
the finest impersonators on any cir
cult.
The weakest number on the course
last year was the dramatic company
The university apologized, and it
vouches for the ability of the COM
pany playing this season. This COM
pany presents a comedy which is, to
begin with, more adaptable to small
company than the heavy piece the last
years company attempted
The Mendelsshon Musical club is
composed of six members-each an
artist on his own instrument.
A. W. Almstead is to deliver the
lecture and, as he is the secretary for
the lyceum extension work, his lecture
is bound to be both interesting and in
structive. Those who missed the lee
ture on the course last year missed
a splendid number.
The Japanese-the Ongawas-put
on an entertainment which is entirely
different from anything ever seen here
before. The committee was advised
to secure this number as it is enter
tanning and altogether unique.
Part of the ticket sale has been
turned over to the senior class of the
high school, This enables members of
the class to secure tickets, and last
year the class earned, in addition, a
considerable sum of money. This
year they hope to do the same, as they
wish to raise money to buy memo
rial to leave to the school.
So be prepared to buy a season
ticket, for in so doing you are not
only providing pleasing diversion for
yourself but you are helping to bring
good, clean entertainments to our
town and to secure something of value
