FAR ABOVE AVERAGE.

Tuesday evening the opening
entertainment of the lyceum
course was given at the Or
pheum Theatre under the
auspices of the Cottonwood High
School. The size of the audi
ence was very gratifying in view
of the fact that the weather and
roads were none too inviting.
The audience was enthusiastic
and appreciative. and proved be-
yond a doubt that there are
many people in Cottonwood who
desire a lyceum course with
high class entertainments of this
kind.
The Freeman Hammond Com
pany of entertainers gave a
splendid program sufficiently
varied to please everybody. Mr.
Hammond is an artist of marked
ability as an elocutionist and i'm
personator. His characterize.
tions were wonderfully well rem
dered.
Miss Macdonald, violinist and
soprano soloist, gave some very
interesting numbers which
showed skilled musicianship
Miss Carpenter, pianist, proved
an accomplished musician, and
her work helped round out a vel
balanced program.
A short dramatic sketch by
Mr.. Hammond and Miss Carpen
ter, in which Mr.. Hammond has
no speaking part, being abused
by his irates spouse who gives
him no chance to talk, was en-
Enthusiastically received by tn,
audience.
The program closed with
group of gipsy numbers in gips,
costumes. The music was char
acteristic of these wandering
people, and the bright costume
added to the interest of thi'
number.
