BIG LYCEUM NUMBERS.

Extra Good Program Planned. The local Lyceum committee is rapidly shaping things for the first number of the winter’s course which will Kegin next Monday evening. The course will bring to the edmmunity a variety of the best things in the way of entertainment. The committee desires to get the very best procurable, believing that Rensselaer deserves and desires the best. Last year’s patronage was evidence of the fact that the people of this community will patronize the better program. This year the committee has tried and certainly been successful in procuring the best array of talent for a lyceum course. In order to do this it has been necessary to . pay more money for the talent and they are glad to report that they are going to give this better course without increasing the price of season tickets. This >3 possible because of the liberal patronage by our community. The committee has selected four numbers some of which have not been excelled in our city and the average is believed to be far better than previous courses. Harold Procter of the Procter Company who appears here Monday evening is a tenor of rare talent. He is known as the eminent Irish tenor; having made a great success hot only in the United states but also in the British Isles, where the London papers spoke of him as the “tenor of golden supremacy” and having a voice “like a ribbon of gold.” He is assisted in the program by Miss May Rees, violinist, and Miss Fleta Lawrence, pianist. Other numbers consist of Brooks Fletcher, noted Dramatic Orator, who is a worthy successor as a dramatic speaker to the late Father Vaughn, the Zandorff Entertainers, which consists of a talented harpist and impersonator, and the Montague Light Opera Singers. This last company consists of a quartette of artists who present an excellent program from the famous light operas. In the repertoire is a complete operetta “A Japanese Romance,” which is given in costume. The ticket committee plans to repeat last year’s success in ticket selling when practically All of the ■ tickets were sold in one half day. ; The city will be canßassed Friday. । The first number is next Monday evening.
