THE SELECT FOLK QUALITY SEAL
ARTHUR C. COIT President

THE COIT LYCEUM BUREAU
CLEVELAND, OHIO
The Castle Square Entertainers
IN The Castle Square Entertainers we are able to offer a first-class quartette of popular entertainers who have proved themselves to be one of the most popular companies we have ever booked. It is doubtful if another organization of four people can be found in the Lyceum field with such versatility and excellence. Their program is a decided novelty. In fact, the novelties and humor the Castles have injected into their program have assisted them materially in building their present reputation.
The company comprises a first-class popular male quartette, a horn quartette, a banjo quartette, two pianists, an instrumental soloist, an entertaining reader and tenor soloist, a superb whistling soloist, and a dialect monologist. They are therefore prepared to give a program of unusual variety and interest.
Mr. L. R. Hulbert is a pianist of ability his imitatious and burlesques on that instrument being an instantaneous hit. He is also a cornet, octave and mandolin-banjo soloist.
Mr. C. E. Humphrey, the reader, is unusually effective in dramatic readings, and as tenor soloist he does some especially good work with his well chosen selections.
Mr. Thornburg presents an attractive novelty in his whistling solos. As a whistler he ranks with the best. He is a thoroughly educated musician and has arranged some of the numbers presented by the company.
Mr. D. H. Grant, the basso, has a splendid voice and a delightfully entertaining Irish brogue and Scotch dialect which he uses with great effect in his dashing monologue of folk songs and witticisms. He never fails to arouse enthusiasm.
The Castle Square Entertainers on account of their great versatility, are particularly well adapted to Chautauqua work. If you want good music and popular entertainers, book the Castles.

The entertainment by the Castle Square Entertainers caused a genuine sensation among the lovers of good singing, and those not present missed a rare treat. A more perfect part singing by male voices has seldom been heard in Hallock.
Hallock (Minn.) Enterprise.
Each member of the quartette possesses abundant talent, capable of an evening's entertainment by himself. The program was varied with popular, high class music. The Sextette was one of the best selections rendered.—
Superior (Wis.) Telegram.
The entertainment given by the Castle Square Entertainers was of the kind that makes every one better for having heard it. Every number on the program was rendered with splendid effect. There was variety enough to interest the audience to the last minute and continued encores were a feature of the evening.—
Grand Forks (N. D.) Herald.
The Castle Square Entertainers gave their entertainment at Wright's Hall on Friday evening last, and for such a good company as this it is a pity a larger house was not in attendance. Those who were present were doubly repaid. This company is one of the best on the road and their renditions of the program would be hard to beat. Mr. Grant, the basso, has a splendid rich voice and knows how to use it.—
Winnipeg (Man.) Telegram.
The quartette selections by the Castle Square Entertainers were received with thunderous applause by the audience at the Grand Opera House.—
