Lulu Tyler Gates Company
Talent a magazine of tho Lyceum
made the following criticism on the
Lulu Tyler Gates Company and its
members
This is a splendid company giving
an exceptionally pleasing program
Miss Grace Gilmore must be a very sat
isfactory accompanist for she never ob
trudes her work into the solo but sup
ports and sustains the artists so that
the best results may be obtained The
violinist MissEbba Hjertstedt has ex
ceptionally good technique and pleases
her audience by her wonderful execu
tion
Walter Bentley Ball what a charm
ing manner he has what a pleasing
voice and what good taste in choosing
numbers His group of folksongs is the
most pleasing number I have heard this
season unless it is hiq heroic King
Charles One thing I am sure Mr
Ball has in a high degree sympathy
He passes easily from the atmosphere
of his tragic cowiioy song The Lone
Prairie to the wierd Indian blanket
song and then to the old ueg o melody
Swing Low Sweet Chariot and in
each one makes you feel and under
stand it all
Lulu Tyler Gates is a reader whom
one delights to hear Beside beauty of
face figure and dress she has a repose
that is unusual as it is effective What
restraint there is in her opening number
an intensely dramatic story of life and
death Though her voice is hardly
more than a conversational tone though
her action is never vehement the scene
stands out in the imagination of the
audience as tremendously exciting The
scene is suggested not acted All of
her numbers are stories though several
have characters to be impersonated In
the character work however there is
not the repose that is the strength of
descriptive passages here the appeal to
the imagination is not so strong the
appeal to the eye and ear is stronger
The Proof of the Pudding1
Well you know it is not in chewing
the string This holds good in meats as
well as in puddings The B M meat
market guarantees you the best the
market affords in the meat line in any
and all kinds of meats They throw in
liberal and courteous treatment and
prompt delivery Yon will find the
market at the old stand first door south
of the Walsh block We bespeak a liber
al portion of your patronage during the
new year David Magner Prop
