In character delineations, im

the Columbian Entertainers have
gained reputation as aTtists. The
company is composed of Mr. C.E.
Kemp, Misses Holden, Larssen,
Thompson and Willis, all grad
uates of the Columbia School of
Oratory, Chicago.
The Lyceum manager says of
them:
“The Entertainers give modern
farces and Comedies, and scenes
from Shakespear with the power
and convincingness of professional
actors, but with none of the ob-
jectional features of the stage.
The variety and charm of appro
priate music will be added to the
programs by Miss Helga Larssen,
a native Norwegian Soprano. She
sings clossic songs in English,
Norwegian and Swedish.”
Of the Entertainer s, the Colum-
ia School managers say: “They
are among the choicest of our
many graduates. We are glad to
hqve them represent us socially,
mbrally and professionally.
Mr. Kemp is highly endorsed as
a character delineator of rare mer
it, powerful in dignity,' irresista-
ble in humor.
Miss Thompson is a reader of
fascinating personality, delicious
in humor and powerful in charac
ter presentations.
Miss Larssen is accredited a vo
calist that always pleases.
Miss Holden is represented as
graceful of movement, and sweet
of voice, a true artist in poetic
reading.
Miss Willis is rated high as a
delineator of child character.
. Altogether, a most pleasing en
tertainment is in store for Perry,
if the endorsers of the “Columbia
Entertainers” know what they
write about. ‘
Just what the program at Perry
wiU be we do not now know, but
,ve will tell it in our next issue,
if we can. v

Lodge of Hawkinsville.

Part of the Elko Fishing Club
has been fishing again, led by
“Capt Coot”, the veteran fisher
man. The finny tribe has some
what “gone back” on him, as he
seldom gets anything now, except
the heads. The club reported
plenty ef fish to eat while in
camp, but very few to bring home.
I suppose you might term it “fish
erman’s luck.”
Hon. Chester Perce of Hender
son was in Elko a few-days ago in
an up-to-date buggy. You could
easily ford any creek after a heavy
rain without getting the stirups
wet.
