THE APOLLO TRIO V NEXT LYCEUM NUMBER. > ' v. . ' . \ The Piedmont Lyceum Bureku has : this to say p| the lyceum attraction - to appear here on January 19th.: "In presenting; the Apollo Trio to " the public we are offering a high5 grade Concert Company who present >' a ?varied program of Songs, Stories, r Costumed Readings and Impersona? tions, Violin .and Riano. "Each member of ^the Apollo Trio 1 is an artist who has given years of J study and preparation for the work e which they do. They love the work 1 and maintain Piedmont Lyceum in Standard^ both on and off the platform . _ j Their nVssion is to please and satisfy and they^ always succeed in accomplishing this object, ofttimes j where others would fail. "? Good humor, versatility and wisdom in the arrangement of their program, to y gether with most attractive persona allies, make them universal favorites among Piedmont patrons." This concert completes the lyeeum course for this season. * On the part of some of the guarantors for this year there has, been considerable apprehension 'about securing a course next season. They seem to feel that lyceum isn't getting the support here it should, a^d that it cannot longer last on that given it. ^ So if this community wants lyceum another season there should be a full house for this coming attraction. s The usual prices will obtain. The lt concert is saiid to be splendid, and x well rendered. "It is easy e? Enough to be pleasant e When life goes long like a song, But the man >vorth while. Is- tKe one with a smile.
