Leeture Coarse Announcement, Season of 1910-1911.

After considerable planning, the Lecture Board is now ready to announce its schedule for the season of 1910-1911. The course this year will consist of five regular numbers tnd one extra. The extra number will bo supplied by Byron King, but she exact date can not be determined. Below is a brief statement of each number. Robert Parker Miles, a well known dramatic lecturer, will give the open-, ing number on Wednesday evening, October 26th. The second number will be given Wednesday evening, Nov. 30th, by a mixed quartette, known as the Schuberts. This number is considered one of the best of the entire course, and should please everyone. Their program consists of quartettes, duets, solos, piano duets and readings. The third number will be given Friday evening, December 9th, by L. B. Wickersham, who is considered one of the strongest lecturers on the American platform. Mr. Wickersham has been secured at a considerable cost and the board considers itself lucky in getting him. The fourth number will be given Thursday evening, January 18th, by Booth Lowrey, a distinguished Southern orator. Mr. Lowrey’s lectures on negro life are very favorably commented upon.

The last regular number will be given on Monday evening, March 13th, by the Beilhars Entertainers. This number has been put last, because the board believes It will please everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Beilharz have appeared on the Chautauqua platform for years and have always pleased the people. The lyceum from which this talent has been secured especially recommends them. The extra number, which as stated above, will be given by j&Ton King, needs no further comment. Mr. King delighted the people of Rensselaer last year in his Shakespeare lecture and will undoubtedly have something worth listening to this year. The course last year netted $36 and this amount has been turned Into the new one. We aim to have a much stronger course this year, but the cost will be considerable more. Rensselaer needs a lecture course and our purpose has.been to secure the best talent at the least cost. This year the season tickets will be $1.50 for the Six numbers, including the extra one. A committee will soon be selected to canvas the town and we hope that the people will respond cheerfully.
