LOSEFF'S Russian Orchestral Quartet offers one of the best and most popular musical programs of the season. This organization of talented artists appear in their native Russian costume, the platform effect is indeed striking.
The programs of the quartet are a combination of life and enthusiasm and cover a wide range of music from the wild, fantastic Russian dances, through the most exquisite, inspiring and difficult arias of the old masters, to that music termed, popular, but never trashy.
A prominent and pleasing feature, and one that never fails to evoke the greatest enthusiasm, is a sterling rendition of the beautiful Russian folk songs, accompanied by haunting Russian balalikas. For intensive melody nothing surpasses these old songs. Each member of the quartet is an accomplished soloist.
A program by this splendid or ganization is in no way an experiment. Season after season they have met with enthusiastic approval everywhere. An evening with the company will rank as a distinct event in your community.
Words of Praise
CLEVELAND, OHIO
In fifteen years experience in buying talent, I have never used a company whose work in every number was so entirely satisfactory. Our large auditorium was packed and every number was enthusiastically applauded. I do not know of a bureau that sells a company, for the money we paid the Loseff Quartet, that can deliver the goods as satisfactorily as they did.

DENVER, COLO.
Loseff's Russian Orchestral Quartet, two ladies and two gentlemen of the Russian type, all of them true artists, will not suffer in comparison with the best offered in this city. Their instrumental and vocal efforts are brilliant and masterfully rendered. The bright military costumes of the quartette make an imposing appearance.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
Loseff's Russian Orchestral Quartet is composed of instrumentalists and vocalists of unusual talent, whose singing and playing are very pleasing. The violin, cello and piano music delighted an immense audience, while the singing is of a character to please the most critical.
RENO, NEVADA
High class throughout was the famous Loseff's Russian Quartet, which was to prove to be the greatest musical organization that has entertained Reno in some time. They should be proud of the reception they received here.
KANSAS CITY, MO.
In regard to Loseff's Russian Orchestral Quartet who were on one of our circuits this summer, will say that we never had four more agreeable or efficient people working for us. They gave a fine entertainment, conducted themselves in an entirely creditable manner, captured their audiences and are agreeable and fair to deal with. You are safer in engaging them for any work which they propose to do.

VIRDEN, ILL.
There was a pleasing atmosphere of modesty about the Russian Quartet and it won its way into the hearts of both their afternoon and evening audiences. Their work was much appreciated. M. Loseff was 'simply superb,' as we heard someone back of us say, while Mme. Loseff 'was immense.' Then the pianist came in for a good round of compliments, also, as did the handsome violinist, whose name we do not recall. They gave us two excellent programs and we should all like to hear them again.
CORINTH, N. Y.
The entertainment of Loseff's Russian Orchestral Quartet was truly a 'feast of melody.' It was the final thing in music. The members of this organization form a galaxy of musical stars well worthy to be so termed. M. Loseff as a cellist was literally superb. In a masterly solo he held the audience spellbound.
