Mr. Butterworth.



F
EW men have made a more favorable impression on the public during the past four seasons than Harry T. Butterworth.  His voice possesses unusual range and he sings with an artistic finish rarely found among the many musicians on the concert stage.  The keen pleasure he feels in singing not only the heavier classical selections but also the humorous and popular songs is at once imparted to his audience, which adds to the mutual enjoyment of the program.  At many places where he has appeared the desire has been expressed to hear him in a more elaborate program, where the opportunity could be given for a greater number and variety of bass solos, hence the company we are now offering.  Those associated with him are also artists of great merit.




Mr. Butterworth's bass was the grandest ever heard in this section.  His tones are profound, musical and under wonderful control.—

Miss Harpster.



M
ISS Georgia Harpster, soprano, also a most charming accompanist, has enjoyed the advantages of the best instruction in addition to an inherited musical temperament.  Her voice is of the lyric quality and she sings the most difficult selections with ease and artistic skill.  while the popular songs so pleasing to the people are given in a piquant manner which at once wins for her tumultuous applause.




MISS GEORGIA HARPSTER



She possesses a coloratura soprano voice of rare sweetness and power, and a personality even more charming, if, indeed, that were possible.  The critics speak very highly of her voice and a brilliant future is predicted for this delightful young woman, whose work has gained favor for her both in social circles and in the musical world.—

Miss Wallace.



M
ISS Mabel Marion Wallace is one of the most successful and artistic readers now before the public.  She is an honor graduate of the famous Cumnock School of Oratory of the Northwestern University and possesses the talent and womanly charm which win for her an ever increasing circle of admirers.  One of the most commendable qualities predominant in her work is the purpose not only to entertain her audience, but to so interpret the masters of literature as to make a moral and intellectual impression on those who hear, and her naturalness and finish of form are qualities that never fail to commend themselves. With such an ambition, as the greatest incentive to success, her work has therefore improved in a marked degree from year to year.  Her repertoire for the coming season has been selected with unusual care and we confidently expect her to do even better work than in former years.




MISS MABEL MARION WALLACE.




Miss Marion Wallace is an entertainer of great ability, intelligent in conception, artistic in execution and pleasing in manner.

Robert McLean Cumnock, Director School of Oratory, Northwestern University.




Miss Wallace is nothing less than a real artist.  She presents her work in that natural, easy and graceful manner which is always most effective.  Her stage presence is charming, her voice marvelously clear, rich and musical.  Her renditions, whether humorous or pathetic, and she is equally forceful in both, are true to life.  She carried away the hearts of our people and it is the universal desire that she may come again.
—

Lincoln's leading reader, Miss Mabel Wallace, was next on the program, and it was a most cordial reception that she received from her admirers.  The young artist makes a graceful and pleasing stage appearance and her style of reading is very charming.  
Marguerite's Husband,
 a writing by Juliet Tomkins, was a very happy selection and was followed by the audience with deep interest and appreciation.  A clever juvenile selection was given as an encore.—
