The Sheehan Concert Company
holds its head above other organiza-
tions of like nature because of It's
inimitable reader and leader Miss
Theresa Sheehan. Miss Sheehan is
partial to the old Irish folk stories
which she tells as only an Irish girl
can. She has a wit and sparkle
which makes her one OF the most in
teresting readers on the lyceum plat
form. In her company are two must.
clans who help to provide a conven.
tional, yet unusual concert program.
The musicians are musicians in ev.
cry sense Of the word leaning con.
picuously to the better class of mu-
sic.
The Colonial Players, q group of
four young actors, two men and two
women, are poppy and jolly with
musical and dramatic program that
is full of life but at the same time
wholesome and beautiful. The Co

sic but with much softer spot for
music that is beautiful They intro.
