rant's Pass.
A course of first-class entertainments
and lectnres is recognized as a necessity
in every town and city that has had the
privileges of such a course for one or two
reasons. Believing that Corvallis is in
no wisn behind any college town in ita
appreciation "of good things and confident
of hearty snoport, the Men's Club of the
Congregational church recently closed a
co-itract with an Eastern Lyceum Bureau
for five of the very best public entertain
ments that will be available on the Coast
and these will be Riven in -the Opera
House in this city daring the coming'
fall and w'inter. The canvass for season
tickets, to meet the heavy guarantee
made DeceBsary b-f thia contract, has not
been completed, but the response from
those so far canvassed has been so hearty
and generous that it is now thought pos
sible to add a sixth entertainment to the
course. If this is done, it will be witb
out additional cost to the holders of sea
son tickets. The following is an an.
nouncement of the several entertain
ments, with dates so tar as arranged :
Oct. 10 The first entertainment of the
course is by the Parland-Newhall com
pany's male quartette and bell fingers.
Th8 quartet is composed of voices that
have been before the American public
for years and whose blending is as nearly
perfect as careful training ean make it.
Tha bell-ringing feature consist! of a
peal of more than 100 hand bells, the
finest in America, made by the " John
Taylor company, : Longlboraugh, Eng
land, and varying in weight from three
ounces to fifteen pounds. This company
is an attraction which can present the
most novelty, versatility and art in its
program. A . variety of features, both
entertaining and instructive and calcul
ated to appeal to all tastes.
Nov. 4 The second entertainment of
the course will be given by Maro, the
prince of magic. Here is a man at the
forefront of his profession- -r-Re-engaged
before he left the hall at Washington
D. C. Maro, the magician ; Maro, the
musician ; Maro, the artist and yet but
one Maro. He will take a whole barn
yard of ducks, chickens, pigeons and a
warren of rabbits outof your hat or
from your coat pocket. With his hands
he will make your photograph upon the
wall and w'll charge you nothing for it.
Maro's mrsterious fun held and fooled
them all." Maro brings with him a
quartet of saxophone artists and plays
mniseit tne largest saxopnone reea in
strument ever made.
The third number of the course will
be a lecture by Lee Francis Lybarger.
Mr- Lybarger is a lawyer of the Phila
delphia bar. It has been Mr. Lybarger's
ambition from his youth to carry the
truths of science to the homes and the
hearts of the common people. He right-
holdd that the greatest truths are the
simplest truths and that all can under
stand them if rightly presented- His
great lecture on "How to be Happy'' is
not only highly entertaining but is re
vo'utionary on human lives. Mr. Ly
barger is a brilliant speaker and one of
the best thinkers on economic and social
questions in this country.
The fourth number of the course will
be given by Mr. Elias Day assisted by
Mrs. Oranni Truitt Day, his wife. Mr.
Day has been known for the past eight
ypars as one of the three great platform
entertainers and in his line is acknow
ledged to be without an equal. Absolute-
original and unique. He combines
with his' talent a genius for work and
study. Mr. Day uses wigs, paints and
other accessories for the presentation of
his characters and has raised their use
from the domain of novelty to the realm
of art.' He is a star of the Chautauqua
platform and his characterizations are
worthy the stady of every student for
they are taken from life.
The Harry T. Bntterworth company
are the fourth in the couise. Mr. But
ter worth is a basso singer with a voice
unexcelled for clearness. He was the
star of the Thomas Day orchestra com
pany." His singing and pleasant . per
sonality captivates the audience.. He
brings with him Miss Hat tie Kosa Urace
the eoprano and whistling artist. : Also
Mias Kosentower, the violinist. Those
who hear her will better understand why
the yioliu is called the ''King ot Instru
ments." And also Miss Marion Wallace,
the reader, who compared favorably with
the best of national reputation. The
four make up a program hard to excel
and are encored to the small hours of the
night. - . -
The sixth entertainment to be ad-Jed
without cost to those who hold season
tickets will be a lecture on the great
paintings of the world, and will be
illustrated by steieopticon yiews, com
prising several hundred paintings held
in the great art galleries of Europe and
America.
Holders of season tickets will in all
cases have the first choice of reserved
seats. The box office will be open for
their accommodation one day earlier than
for purchasers of single admission tickets
and no promises of reserved seats will hs
made until ticket holders are accom
modated. The Drice of ' season ticket
with reserved seat will be $2; single ad
mission 50 cents; student tickets $1, chil
dren half price. A list of subscribers
who have madethis course possible will
be nublished-next week. Persona desir
