once sent out to make temporary re-
pairs. The bridge is over a gulch
which is dry under normal conditions

'LYCEUM COURSE
T0START0 29

The second lyceum course to be Civ
en- in Cody under the auspices of the
Woman's club will be inaugurated on
Monday, October 10Th, 1928, by the
presentation of the first of four num-
bers to be given during the winter.
The first entertainment offered will
be the Three Patton Brothers, Enter
t%ainers, in a Futuristic Musical pro-
gram. Their work has been highly
commended by all who have heard
them.
Their entertainment is unique and
different, comprising folk songs, pop
ular and classical melodies and in
strumental selections, and is sure to
prove one of the most pleasing num-
bers of the course.
All of the four numbers are to be
given by talent furnished by the Ell
lison-White Lyceum bureau, which is
a guarantee of high class entertain
ment.
The second entertainment will be
given by Emma Dee Randle, Melo-
dramatic Entertainer in interpretive
Recitals. Miss Randle is one of the
most gifted entertainers before the
public today, and gives a most charm
ing and instructive program of humor-
Gus and classical numbers in costume.
1t is seldom that one artist has the
ability to hold the attention of the au-
dience through an entire program, but
it is claimed that Miss Randle has that
exceptional ability.
The third number of the course will
be given by Ward Waters and Com
pahy, who combine a program of
dramatic sketches, character imper-
sonations, vocal and piano solos, to-
gether with whistling and xylophone
numbers into a most enjoyable enter
tainment. Mr.. Ward Waters is ranked
among the high class entertainers of
the day, and he is ably supported by
two other talented artists.
The fourth and last number of the
purse will be presented by the popu-
lar Cheney Concert Company in novel
and delightful instrumental features,
including the White House Chimes.
