Monday night. Jan. 18th, Paul M.

recitals. Mr. Pearson, as may be
imagined, is a thoroughly interesting
and attractive platform speaker and
one who is recalled again and again.
As a matter of fact, nearly all of his
dates are for return engagements. In
the few years he has been on the
platform he has given nine lecture
recitals at Chautauqua, N. Y., four
teen at Mt. Lake Park. Md., twenty
nine at Marineete, Wis., and has l>een
repeatedly recalled by many managers
of the most important lecture courses.
Our music loving public will be

some two years since. Mrs. Thomas
will be assisted by Prof. Petersen,
accompanist. Miss Lizzie Leininger,
soprano, and Mrs. W. F. Mason,
reader, both of the latter of this city.
It will not be necessary for us to
urge upon those who heard Madam
Thomas when here two years ago to
hear her at her coming again as the
impression she left on their minds
was most favorable and they will be
sure to hear her again, but to those
who have not been so favored, the
Northwestern wishes to assure them
that she is one of the best dramatic
sopranoes before the public today and
those who attend her concert next
Wednesday will hear one of the finest
musical treats ever offered to the
the public.
The Elma B. Smith entertainment
at tiie Presbyterian church last
Saturday evening, the fourth of the
lyceum course, was one of the very
finest ever in this city. Miss Smith
as a child impersonator ranks in the
very fore front of that kind of enter
tainers, her imitation of birds ai d
the crying or an infant, bringing
down the house in wild applause.
The pianist, Mr. Wm. Rummel, was
one of the greatest artists ever in the
city, creating intense interest by play
ing with the left hand alone, a very
difficult musical composition. Miss
Rita Rich, vocalist, was the equal c.f
any lady entertainer ever brought to
our city, her specialties being given
in the characters of the Irish peasant
girl, the Scotch lassie and an Indian
girl. Not the least, by any means., of
the four entertainers, was the violin
master, Mr. Von Geitch, who is in
deed an artist j»ar excellence, and like
the others, was given repeated recalls.
It was, to our liking, the best enter
tainment so far of the lyceum course.
