TIDDLERS THREE' PLEASES AUDIENGE

Operetta Presented at Oliver Last Night is Well Received.

The stamp of excellence is upon every feature of "Fiddlers Three," which was presented last night at the Oliver before an audience that taxed the capacity of the theater and demonstrated its own capacity for appreciation. "Fiddlers Three." with Tavio Helge and tho talented satellites with whom John Cort has .surrounded her, I. entertainment of a nature and quality which has been conspicuous for its absence for a considerable period. There is an excellent score, and there are at least two real singers to handle its more important elements; there are skillful dancer, and fun-makers adept; ?nd there is a chorua that dances, Kings, but first of all looks and looks. No more satisfying assemblage has been seen here In recent years.

Everybody in South Bend has heard of the "man in the moon." but It la left for William Forkell. lecturtr and humorist, who appears at the high school auditorium Fri day night, to tell the real truth about this "man In the moon." Mr. Forkell In his humorous way. deals more with the absence of a man In the shimmering sphere that some say Is made of green cheese, and he goes on to show that while there may not be a man in the moon, the moon Is etlll there,, and that often great things are discovered along the pathway of those

things that do not exist. The theme,

"The Man in the Moon," affords Mr. Forkell an excellent opportunity for his humorous lecture. The humovist and lecturer comes to South Bend well recommended. Writing from Washington. Charles K. Townsend, united States senator from Michigan,' says concerning Mr. Forkell: "William Forkell is one of the most interesting and popular public speakers whom I have heard. Bricht, clear and eloquent, he is vigorously demanded for return engagements." Mr. Forkell comes to South Bend Friday night under the auspices of the Woman's Dining club, and no charge for the lecture will be made, tickets being distributed by members of the club.
