C. M. PARKER.





M
R. PARKER is well known in the East as author and director.  There is only need of an introductory word as the Company will this year be booked extensively in the West.  Mr. Parker has had years of experience with musicians and the public and he has used this acquaintance to good effect in selecting a group of artists who should bear his name.  Every member is a solo artist and possesses the double talent of voice and instrument so that the five people give a program of as great variety as a ten number company usually affords.




This Company has concerted extensively in the East and the unusual uniformity of hearty endorsement has arrested our attention.  We have contracted for the exclusive management of their entire season East and West, and are confident of introducing to our patrons a new attraction that will give them as great satisfaction as any hitherto furnished by
THE CENTRAL LYCEUM BUREAU.

The nineteenth session of the Genesee Conference convened at nine o'clock this morning, Bishop Merrill presiding.  The presiding Elders assisted the Bishop in conducting the impressive devotional exercises.  The Parker Concert Company then sang before the Conference.  Their exquisitely rendered 
Nearer My God to Thee
 was so heartily applauded that they came back and sang 
I'm a Pilgrim
 in a very pleasing manner.  Every member of the company is an artist.—


Conference Herald.




Library Hall was crowded last night to hear the Parker Concert Company.  It is the first time in the history of Warren that every number of a program has been enthusiastically encored five times in succession.  It was a delightful entertainment.—


Daily Mirror, Warren, Pa.




The initial entertainment of the Union Hall Lecture Course was given last night by the Parker Concert Company.  It was one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever offered the citizens of Gouverneur.  Encores were the rule.  If this entertainment is a criterian of the course it promises success.—


Free Press, Gouverneur, N. Y.




The entertainment which was given last evening at Wieting Opera House, by the Parker Concert Company, was the seventh number of the Y. M. C. A.

The Parker Concert Company gave the third number in Association Hall last evening.  A large audience was present, and everybody was delighted.—

Watertown, (N. Y.) Daily Times.




The Alpheon Club Lecture Course was opened under the most flattering auspices at Academy Hall last evening by the Parker Concert Company.  The Club is certainly to be congratulated on its success in securing this splendid aggregation of genuine artists.

Should the company ever return to this place they may be assured of a hearty welcome and packed house.—

A most delightful entertainment was given at the Opera House last evening by the Parker Concert Company.  Each member of the company is an artist, and those who failed to attend missed a rare treat.  The Epworth League is to be congratulated upon the opening number of its lecture course.—


Daily Reporter, Wellsville, N. Y.




The Parker Concert Company, the 4th number in the Memorial Hall Lecture Course, at Weldon Theatre Saturday night, was one of the best Concert Companies that ever appeared here.  People who failed to attend missed a rare treat indeed.  The Memorial Hall association should be congratulated on bringing to this city such a high-class entertainment.—


Post-Herald, Coneaut, Ohio.
