Introductory.
In presenting Mr. Colgan and Miss Harmon the management feels confident of your approbation.  These artists give a dashing, lively program of humorous and dramatic sketches, monologues, recitations, comediettas and music, which is unique, novel, popular and artistic.  Their success has been phenomenal, and we present them with an unqualified guarantee of their worth and work.  Suitable programs arranged for club, lodge, church, Y. M. C. A., concert or private entertainments.  For a delightful evening's entertainment no better or more appropriate talent could be engaged than Mr. Colgan and Miss Harmon.


The Story Bearer and the Bearer of a Story.


MR. COLGAN Is an artist of rare ability, a clever entertainer, and an actor of experience.  He is fascinating and humorous, presenting a repertoire of character impersonations, dialect, pathetic and humorous poems, many of which are of his own composition.  Renders condensed versions of Ben Hur, David Garrick, May Blossom, and the Shaughran.  He is refined and original, has a clear resonant voice, splendid appearance, eloquent language, and strong qualities.  He is earnest and energetic, and never fails to give satisfaction.

MISS HARMON Has established herself a favorite instrumentalist and reader, having appeared from the Atlantic to the Pacific at concerts and entertainments, and conscious of her superior gifts, she is perfectly at home with her instrument, and by study and application has acquired remarkable grace, finish and technique.  In her hands the mandolin becomes quick and human, and the audience seems to breathe the very atmosphere of harmony and drink in the spirit of the glorious melodies which she evolves from the instrument.  She has a pleasing personality, and always delights her audience.
