“How to Be Happy,” not a sunshine lecture, but
one on the Laws of happiness; Many regard this as
Mr. Lybarger’s greatest production. It is filled
with “worldly wisdom.” It is not a “sunshine”
lecture, but a search after the philosophy of right
living. It is one lecture that has the courage to face
the facts, to see things as they are. It shows not
only the right of happine'ss and the duty of happi

The College Singing Girls
The College Singing Girls and Walter Eccles have
proved to be one* of the greatest successes of the
Lyceum. The eight young ladies of the Company
-are unusually talented and versatile. They are
professional singers, having good solo voices, which
perfectly blend in the concert work. Special cos
tumes are provided for each feature. Their great
success has been due to their ability to properly ren

for women’s voices.
