Next Lecture Course Number
The next Lyceum course number.
which is scheduled for Thanksgiving
evening, at the Puis hall, is one
that should appeal to all regardless

and will, we are sure, prove inter
esting to old and young alike. The
number is a musical one. and in
cludes the appearance of "The War
Players and Singers." composed of
a male quartette of exceptional abil
ity all soldiers of the late war, and
men well qualified to give a most
interesting entertainment.
These Yankee soldiers bring to us
at first hand the great world war
in music. Not all of the war was
tragedy. Much of it was fun. and so
in their program these soldier lads
bring out the fun as well as the
thrills and tragedy of modern war
fare. Of special Interest In their pro
gram is a dramatic sketch of trench
life, a story specially written by
Olive Kackley, which is the most
truthful characterization of the
American soldier, which the Lyceum
and Chautauqua platforms have
yet seen.
, Every member of this quartet has
; seen service overseas.
