| NEW "OX4us
An unusually large attendance is
anticipa ted, from the fact that the
next two entertainments for which
reserved seats are to be sold are
! among the most popular yet offered
and one of them, at least, excels any
Nmusical event Augusta has ever
known.
The annual 10Y Night" program
of next Friday evening, Jan. 9th,
beckons all fun and music lovers.
With the splendid double bill of the
National Male Quartet and the
! Roach Freeman Co, carnival of
mirth and music is assured. These
two popular companies will give the
cream of their usual two full evening
entertainments condensed into a
wonderful two hour program.
The Nationals are everywhere ac-
lsnoNledged to be the leading popu-
lar male quartet of America, while
Ada Roach, the famous Irish Come
diehne. and Ruth Freeman, her run
ming mate in riotous fun and music,
are uneXcelled in the rare art of VIM
ming the good will and friendship Of
t1elr audiences. lneV are IdNOr1teS
from coast to coast and their appear
ance is the signal for the Punishment
CT all cares.
In securing for the Feb. 18th at
traction, the most pretentious musi-
cal offering in the history of Amer
lean lyceum, the Augusta Entertain
ment Course management has I'M
douhtedly struck high water mark.
Mozart's famous comic opera, 1.-THE
Impresario," with it's beautiful cos
tuning and stage setting and the
original all-star cast of Metropolitan
artists will be brought direct from
New York where it has made ire
mendous hit.
The play of 'The Impresario" is
fascinating comedy, and the music to
it is Mozart's most charming and
brilliant composition written special
ly for the popular taste. The opera
contains a wealth of enjoyment to
the musical 'layman," and a positive
feast for the musically INITIATED"
The expense of bringing this wonder
full production exceeds by far that
of any musical Offering ever heard in
Augusta, and it cannot help but
prove the sensation of the season.
