Beaut.iful gemis front the treasury of song and .poetry of the British Isles make up -the unustial program to be offered )y the Patricia Trio Ehis even Ing at the Opera louse. A distinc- C tive feature of this program by three artists of exceptional merit I.Vill be I the use of the formerly little knowin Irish, Harp as 'an instrument of ac- U coil)annllent. Miss Patricia Gillmore from whomi the .trio takes its name, heads the coin- i t)any and is an artist who does not for get to be entertaining even while meeting the demands of the most ex acting critics. She has a personality that captivates and pleases and is as sisted by two other artists in trios, solos, and readings from the classic songs and poetry of Ireland, England, Scotlaid and Wtilbs. The Irish harp will prove a novelty and a delight to most of her audience in Laurens. Originally developed by the ininstrels of the ancient Irish kings it had' been almost lost to civll, ization dcsjite its admirable (ualities as an acconipanylng instruient until the recent Celtic revival. With dif ficulty Miss Gilmore obtained one of the instruments and she is now ac counted one of its few masters in America. The est:Lyceum programs are con structed about a central idea and that of the Patricia Trio is no exception. In period costume the three artists aqp pear in selce'tions which have solaced and giddened the hearts of genera tions -of our forebears and the simple and lovely melodies, the musical %words of the songs and poems of a sampler, statlier-aTid probably happier age are offered in *hat is proving this sea son one of -the most attractive pro grams of the Lyceum platform.
