BERTS K.C.



Means-Anderson Company
SINCE its beginning, the Lyceum has had a large place for Entertainment provided it be at once clean, artistic and vibrant with human life.  Many a deep lesson has been taught, many a sermon delivered all the more effectively because it came in the guise of a story of a song, while the heart has been opened with laughter or transported on the wings of Melody.

The Means-Anderson Company are offered with no claim except that of being musical entertainers par excellence.  Their personnel and program are especially designed to fill that place in the Lyceum, and never has it been filled better.

The charming personalities of these three young ladies animate their art and quickly kindle the fires of good cheer in every audience.  Their versatility insures a program so varied and rich in contrasts, so full of startling surprises, of humor and pathos, of beauty and power, that every chord of the human heart is touched.

Many larger organizations come far short of the entrancing appeal and wholesome delight of the Means-Anderson Company.


EDNA MEANS—Entertainer,
Formerly dean of the College of Oratory of Highland Park University, is more than an ordinary artist.  She is a young woman of exceptional intellectual power and wide experience.  Her mastery of art, her charming manner and joyous good nature have won her audiences from East to West.


No one will ever forget the whistling boy, the farmer who would go back to the farm, the vagaries and winsomeness of the Dutch girl, and many other characterizations given by the reader, Miss Edna Means.  The audience wept and laughed in quick transition under the influence and charm of her art perfectly rendered.—
Muscotah, Kas.


The work of Miss Edna Means deserves especial notice, it being the opinion of all that she was a wonder and her work was well worth three times the price of admission.—
Jonesboro, Ark.


With a glorious voice, a charming personality and an unusual mastery of her art, all present found Miss Edna Means irresistible and she was repeatedly called back by an enthusiastic audience that filled the large chapel.—
Des Moines Register & Leader.


Miss Means, reader, is one of the very best that ever appeared before an audience in this city.  Her readings and impersonating were very entertaining, swaying her audience from laughter to tears at will.—
Times-Herald, West Point, Miss.



EVE ANDERSON—Violinist, Character Singer, Pianist.
As a violinist she possesses a beautiful tone and reliable technique.  She does not try to win her audiences by pyrotechnical feats.  For four seasons her splendid musicianship has enabled her to make a lasting impression with her listeners.  She puts personality into her playing.  She wins first by her personal charm.  Then with her music she leads her audiences to increased delight.  Miss Anderson is unusually versatile, and contributes largely to the program with her character songs.


Miss Anderson, with her violin and her character work captivated the audience and several times the music so entranced her hearers the quietude was almost oppressive.—
Blytheville, Ark.


The violin solos and accompaniments of Miss Eve Anderson were perfect in every detail.  Miss Anderson's pleasing manner coupled with her skill and musical ability delighted and charmed her audience.—
Muscotah, Kas.



THE COMPANY—LATEST COMMENTS

Splendid.  We were so pleased with this number.  Their Si and Mirandy brought down the house.  Every feature of their entertainment was bright and clever, and the last number comes all too soon.  We cannot say enough for these girls as entertainers.—
Arnold, Nebraska, February 1, 1919.


Very good.  This company gave us a splendid entertainment.  Every one was well pleased and we feel quite fortunate to be able to get this talent during our Chautauqua program.—
Sargent, Nebraska, January 31, 1919.


Complete satisfaction.  One often hears the remark, They can come again if they want to.—
Oneida, Kansas, January 25, 1919.


The program rendered was an excellent entertainment of its kind.  It was entirely satisfactory in every way.—
Eldon, Missouri, January 24, 1919.


It rained all evening, yet we had a full house, and everybody seemed well pleased.  I feel sure that this number has been the best received by our citizens of any number during the two years.  We cannot speak too highly of the splendid sparkles of fun and philosophy given to us in the readings by Miss Means, and Festus will long remember the fiddle of Miss Anderson.—
Festus, Missouri, January 23, 1919.

A singer and accompanist is associated with Miss Means and Miss Anderson as the third member of the company.
