years Lyceum Course, sponsored by
the Board of Education, are practical
ly completed. The course will be
opened ON November 18th in the
Junior High School auditorium by
the Scheurer Duo. Ire Scheurer Duo
consists of Crl Scheurer violinist,
formerly of the Boston Symphony.
He played first violin and solo violin
with this organization until he was
engaged by Mr.. Obberhoffer as con-
ductor of the we'll known Philharmo-
mic Club and head of the violin de-
partment of the University of Min
nesota. The other member of the
Duo is Miss Gladys Hubner, harpist.
Miss Hubner is harpist of consider
able experience and has won great
praise in her appearances in the
Twin Cities.
The Scheurer Duo is one of the
best Lyceum attractions booked by
the University Extension Bureau and
Sank Centre patrons are indeed for
tunate in having the opportunity of
enjoying an evening of their music.

On December 3rd the Howard
Quintet, an experienced Lyceum or
ganization and one of the best in their
line, will give the second perform
ance of the winters entertainment.
Mr.. Towards organization is COM
posed of first violin, obligato violin,
cello, flute and piano. One of the
strong features of the Howard Quin-
tet is the personality of the players.
All of them are artists of the biggest
type and have given over their lives
to the study of music and to the en-
tertainment and entire satisfac-
ton of their audiences. This company
has been organized since 1911.
In the advance program for this
company, we find such offerings as
Melodies from Carmen; Norwegian,
Dutch, American, and English folk
dances; delightful arrangement of
the popular light opera, ''The Student
Prince" Cathedral Chimes; an in
strumental novelty feature for the
children; and other standard selec-
tions for the solo members. This is
the first appearance of the Howard
Quintet in Sank Centre There is no
question but that there will be a de-
mand for their return.
The Tooley Opera Company will al
so make its initial bow to Sank
Centre audience on February 18th
on the transcontinental tour OF ii.
w. D. Tooley, impressario and tenor,
supported by his own company OF
comic opera stars in a glorious re-
vival of Americas comic operas. This
number of this years Lyceum Course
alone is worth more than the price of
a season ticket. Both Mr.. Tooley
and dainty little Miss Kietha Ward,
who is the prima donna of the COM
pany, are exceptional characters and
will no doubt become as endeared to
Sank Centre audiences as was the
late Harry Davies. The Tooley Com
pany should draw the biggest house
in the history of the local Lyceun
Course:
Last years entertainment by the
Czecho-Slavakian Orchestra will be
remembered as one of the most de-
lightful of the season. 1t was i'm
possible to secure this organization
for a return date but fortunately Il
similar organization was available III
the Loseff's Russian Orchestral Quar-
tet. This organization is one of more
mature and finished musicians than
the Czecho- Slavakians. They have
sent on an advanced program which
promises a rare treat to Sank Centre
people on the occasion of their visit.
The program includes both popular
and what is known in the profession
as standard music. Russian Fantas-
ia, ii Trovatore, Melody in F. Rus
sian Cossack Dance, Rigoletto, The
Orpheus Overture, and popular num-
beers, such as "Bye Bye Blackbird"
Sometime" are found in their pro-
gram. AS special feature of their
concert, they will sing some Russian
Folk Songs ito the accompaniment of
the Russian instruments called Bal
alaikas. They will conclude their
program with the rendition of The
Stars and Stripes, by Sousa.
Due to the inability of the Uni
versity Extension Department to fur
nish a suitable date, the fifth number
had to be cancelled. However, nego-
tiations are under way for fifth
number which will be announced
later. It is entirely possible that the
first audience will be requested to
make the selection of the extra num-

In spite of the higher cost of this
years entertainment, it was decided
not to raise the price of season
tickets, SO it will be possible this year
to purchase ticket for the five num-
bers for $3.50 with no additional
charge for reservations. This means
Sank Centre people will have an OPP
portunity to take in an entertainment
fo, on ronfc which would cost no |
