SPLENDID LYCEUM.
Course at Carlisle Offers Unusually
Excellent Numbers.

The Carlisle School has this sea-
|. son spared neither pains nor money
in providing for Bamberg a most
splendid lyceum course, consisting of
five attractions that represent varl-
ETY. and quality beyond all former
seasons.
The course will open on January
21st with the coming of Albert Lind
quest and assisting artists. Mr..
Lindquest is known in America and
Europe as ''the American Tenor with
the voice of gold" The greatest mu-
sical critics of the age are unanimous
in proclaiming him one of the finest
concert tenors of this generation. He
has a broad musical intellect, cultur-
ed and polished, and an exquisite ly-
ric quality of voice.
Miss Leonora Allen and Mr.. Rob-
ert Macdonald are the other mem
bers of this concert company. Miss
Allen, soprano, and Mr.. Allen, accom-
PIANIST, are highly accomplished mu-
sicians, and we'll qualified to accom-
pany Mr.. Lindquest.
This attraction this season has sold
in the large colleges and universities
of Europe, Canada and the United
States at $500 an engagement, but by
a rare piece of good fortune Carlisle
School procures their services for half
price, much below actual cost, but a
courtesy that the Bureau wishes to
extend out Of gratitude for past pat
ronage.
The Bamberg Music club, together
with all music lovers of the commu-
nifty, are urged for your own pleas
.ure to hear this concert Yours, in
this case, is a rare opportunity. We
shall be given that kind and quality
Of music that leads Us into an ex-
perience that lies even beyond the
power Of laughter and tears, where
inspiration and longing fill us with
the pure and the beautiful, like the
red and white meeting with the bos-
ON of a rose. To lift us high to make
us strong, these are the experiences
that we owe ourselves oftener than
occasionally.
