Thou ds of towns and cities have learned . cperience that a Lyceum course . aeficial to community life in ways. Only entertainment [which is worth while can grow and stand the test of years as the Lyceum :(movement has done. For the coming fall and winter in ?our community a choice program has been selected by the local auspices, , . \? tickets will be sold at popular ; . ?ces. A description of each number ra this course follows : THE GREAT LAURANT AND HIS COMPANY. At a meeting in New York, attended by 300 magicians, Eugene Laurant was decorated with a beautiful gold medal and later at a meeting of Chicago ma gicians he received another gold med >.l. This illustrates the high standing ?f the great Laurant among those of ?his profession as well as the public. He has also appeared on several occa ions before societies of scientific re ? r?arch. Each year Laurant changes his pro gram, introducing big new features, oth tricks and illusions. This season ne is to have three assistants. One of these will be Miss Helen Barnard, a oornetist of great skill. A beautiful musical opening has been ; rranged wherein Miss Barnard will EUGENE LAURANT AND COMPANY take the part of trumpeter. She will also brighten up the Intermissions with her musical monologues. Mr. Laurant will also have his own ?pianist; also a stage assistant to han dle his many properties. I The production of the coming season [will be equipped in the usual lavish manner that has characterized all his (entertainments, the stage settings sur jpassing in beauty all previous efforts, i For more than seventeen years the [Great Laurant has been a Chautauqua jand Lyceum headliner. For more than ,'tan years he has appeared under Red path management, a fact which speaks 'for itself. I During the years which he has de moted to the Lyceum platform many .(offers from vaudeville and theatrical [managers have been turned aside by .Mr. Laurant because he believed in the Lyceum as a greater field in which to present his work. EVELYN BARGELT. As a cartoonist and entertainer Miss Evelyn Bnrgelt is notable for her orig inality. Her program begins with a group of chalk drawings, and from this feature she proceeds with her de lightful readings and sketches. Following Miss Bargelt's entertain ment in a Florida city not long ago one of the newspapers commented as fol lows: "Her very first appearance cre ated great applause, and the volume of appreciation and enthusiasm grew as the entertainment progressed. Her work throughout was of the very cleverest sort and different from the old-time chalk drawer's work." During the entertainment Miss Bar gelt introduces a number of interest ing features, one of which is to select some writings, either poetry or prose, which she reads to the audience and at the same time presents it in picture fora, Thus she gives her audience ii double conception. Her pictures appear on the canvas as if by magic, beginning with a few sim ple words and ending with a gorgeous and handsome production. Her crayon work is as comicul as her more digni fied sketches are beautiful. Miss Bargelt's highly pleasing per sonality is another feature which adds greatly to the success of her Drberams. THE HONOLULU ENTERTAINERS. The program of the Honolulu Enter tainers contains more variety than any heretofore offered our patrons. There will be vocal solos, readings, planologs and instrumental duets, and solos on a great variety of stringed instru ments. The program will feature Hawaiian music and instruments of various kinds, as well as American numbers. James Ramsey Frew, manager of the company and baritone soloist, graduated from the Linder School of Music, New Castle, Pa., 1912; played violin with the Linder Orchestra, 1912 13; played banjo and mandolin with Gibson Plector Octette the same sea son; spent summer of 1913 in Hono lulu . lying various Hawaiian native instruments ; summer of 1915, member .of Klollani's Hawaiian Quintette; summer 1916, leader University Play ers on Ohio Redpath circuit; winter 1916, leader Pall's Hawaiian Trio. Mr. Frew plays nine different instru ments. He also makes records for the Starr Phonograph Co. The program including the numbers of the soprano and pianist will take about one hour and thirty minutes, and will furnish an evening of strictly Lyceum entertainment of the highest quality. LIEUT. DONALD M. McGIBNEY. In view of the present world condi tions the local lyceum committee feels especially fortunate in being able to announce a vital war lecture for the coming season. Lieut. Donald Mc Gibeny of the American Ambulance Corps in France will fell of his thrill ing experiences in the seat of Euro pean strife. He will appear in the uni form which he wore for several months of strenuous duty among the suffering heroes of the allied coun tries. Lieutenant McGibeny is an Ameri can college man who at the outbreak Lieut. Donald H. McGibney. af hostilities abroad was a teacher in ?1 Christian College in Turkey. He made a thrilling escape from that L-ountry and went immediately to Paris. It was not long until he was Iriving an ambulance. His experi ences on the battlefield and In hos pital form a story that is graphic, In nddltlon to being wonderfully told. Those who have relatives or friends [n the American army will be espe cially interested In hearing this great story from a young man who has done his blt and is still at it, using every ounce of his energy to promote the government program of preparedness and fitness. .

TERRELL'S BROTHER GIVES TESTIMONY That's What John Bunyon Johnson, the Weil-Known Automobile Salesman, Says of Martin's Liver Medicine One of the latest to add his un qualified endorsement to Martin's Liver Medicine is John Bunyon Johnson, of Macon, ^a.
