Superintendent W6J. Caplinger, of
the City Schools, has this to say of
this years Lyceum course which be-
gins on next Tuesday evening:
Upon the request of a number of
people Of the city we discussed the
matter of a Lyceum Course with the
teachers last April and after promise
on the part of the teachers that they
would do their best to sell sufficient
number Of season tickets to guarantee
the course, the following seven num-
bers we're contracted for and will ap-
pear on the dates set opposite the
names:
The Princess Nadonis Indians,
Tuesday, October 10th.
The Electa Hunt Concert Company,
Thursday, October 26th..
Ash Davis, Cartoonist, Friday. No
vember 18th.
Harold NJ. Kramer, lecturer and
novelist, Wednesday, December Goth.
The Pelletier Players, Friday, jan
uary 18th.
De Jen, the magician, Friday. Feb
ruary 9th.
The Smith-Spring Holmes orches-
trail Quintet, Monday, April 2nd.
AS you will observe the first num-
Der begins next Tuesday night, The
teachers have been selling these tick
cts for the last two weeks, however
we do not have more than half enough
sold at this time, to pay for the course.
We need the support of all of those
people that believe in having enter
tainment Of this type both for the
schools and for the community as a
whole.
In the first number, Princess Ma
donis, one Of the Ojibways, a poet and
writer, captivates the audience by her
recital OF original Indian stories and
poems. She has appeared on the pro-
gram in Europe in the Royal Palace in
London and has entertained many
prominent people both here and
abroad. Three other Indians, one Of
them being Chief Konoka White Eagle
OF the Winnebago Tribe, also appear
on this program with her. They will
entertain with Indian costume, lula
bys. war dance. etc.
The second number is composed of
four musicians OF established reputa-
tion rendering a program of solos and
ensembled work with violin, cello,
piano and voice.
The third number is Ash Davis, the
cartoonist. Davis has been on the plat
form as cartoonist and lecturer for a
number of years and has press COM
ments from cities all over the United
States praising his ability as an en-
tertainer and as cartoonist. The Gin
cinnati Post says that Ash Davis. the
cartoonist, delighted his large audi
ence at the Odeon last night" Warren
(Pa.) Tribune asys, Ash Davis was
the last number and best of all; it
was a fitting climax for our course"
The fourth number, Harold Morton
Kramer, novelist, soldier, journalist
and lecturer of note is the author of
such books as THE Rugged Way"
THE Castle of Dawn" Gayle Lang
ford" and others. The Frankfort (In-
diana) Morning Times says: more
than 1000 people packed the auditor
ium and galleries to hear Kramer who
was given round after round Of ap-
plause."
The fifth number, the Pelletier
Players, consisting of three women
and two men, is an organization SINH
lar to that of the Ben Greet Players.
This one alone is worth half the price
OF q season ticket.
The sixth number, De Jen, the magi-
clan. Most Of us are interested in the
tricks of the wizard and enjoy an eve
ming of magic. If not instructive, 1t
certainly is entertaining.
The last number is Smith-Spring-
Holmes Orchestral Quintet which rem
ders program including trombone
and cornet solos and duets, violin,
flute, basset horn, cello and vocal
solos, saxaphone selections. This
quintet was one of the prize numbers
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
This is high class musical organ
ization whose appearance cost us con-
siderable, Since Maysville is getting
to be a musical town, we should have
the house crowded TO hear a program
OF this sort rendered.
When the teachers solicit you,
please get the impression that they are
working for the educational uplift Of
the community and that you are doing
no more than your duty in helping to
