A Notable Company of Versatile Musicians
The Orchestral Entertainers is a company composed of four sisters—the Misses Gladys, Edith, Frances and Inez Maurer.  For versatility on musical instruments and making good, their parallel is seldom found.  In this respect they fill an important place on the Lyceum platform for there is much demand for just such a combination and the only reason that there are comparatively few such combinations, is because versatility in music is so apt to be accompanied by mediocrity.  Especially is there a demand for this kind of an organization where large door sales are a consideration to the committee.  Pictures of numerous instruments and promises of a widely varied program attract young and old from far and near.



Have Given Concerts for Five Years
The members of this company have rightfully worked their way up to a place on the Redpath list of talent.  The Redpath Bureau, as the oldest bureau in the world, has a reputation at stake which must not be sacrificed by inferior talent.  It has its eye on much prospective talent and is constantly besieged with offers of talent on every hand.  There is no reason why its final selection should be poor.

For five years the Maurer Sisters have been giving concerts with good reports from everywhere they have appeared.  At a recent performance four representatives of the Redpath Bureau, including Adrian M. Newens, the staff critic, were present and the Bureau introduces the company under its management with a felling of confidence that they will fill the demand for the versatile musical program.  They do not claim to give a heavy or extremely classical program.



Their Musical Education
The members of this company received their musical education at the South Bend Conservatory, South Bend, Ind., and in Chicago.  M. B. Griffith, president of the South Bend Conservatory, said: It gives me pleasure to recommend to you the entertainments given by the Maurer Sisters.  Besides the excellent orchestral numbers presented, the solo and duet numbers are especially pleasing.  The hearty commendation of the principal of the Violin Department of this same conservatory is given on another page of this circular.

From the Violin Department of South Bend Conservatory.
Mr. Hal G. Van Aikin, principal of the violin department, of South Bend Conservatory, South Bend, Ind., in a letter dated Dec. 1, 1910, says: Being familiar with the abilities of the Misses Maurer I take great pleasure in endorsing the work of these highly talented young ladies.

I have heard most of concert companies which have appeared here on the various Lyceum courses and have heard nothing which will compare with them in point of excellence and attractiveness of their programs.

Each has an unusual aptitude for her particular instrument, developed by the best of instruction both here and in Chicago, and each has attained a degree of proficiency most unusual.

The beautiful work of the Misses Frances and Edith on cornet and flute and the splendid accompaniments of Miss Inez are well known because of their concert work throughout the East and West.



The Maurer Orchestra rendered a delightful program for our reception.  A whistling solo by Miss Maurer was very highly appreciated.—F. W. Lillie, Supt.  Y. M. C. A., South Bend, Ind.

The entertainment at the opera house by the Maurer family of South Bend, was highly appreciated.  They are each of them artists.—Millersburg Grit.

The Musical entertainment by the Maurer Family, in our church, was greatly enjoyed by all present and nothing but commendation is heard.  The program is ennobling.—Rev. H. N. Spear, pastor Baptist Church, Elkhart, Ind.


Gladys Maurer was heard in a violin number which fairly took the audience by storm.  The showing made by the pupil was nothing short of marvelous.  She was given a rousing reception.—
South Bend Times.


The Maurer family gave one of the very best entertainments, from a musical standpoint, ever given here; standing room was at a premium in the hall.  The orchestra work was great.—
Wakarusa Tribune.

To the Public:

I regard the Maurer Family of musical artists as the most remarkable one that I have known or ever heard of.  Each is an artist of extraordinary ability with her chosen instrument and the whole family combines into an orchestra, highly appreciated and marveled at wherever they have been heard.  Musical critics have pronounced the organization as superb and their programs as the best that can be offered.  The music lover never fails to appreciate and enjoy the Maurers and they rejoice at every chance to hear them.

The Maurers are more than musicians, they are a highly cultured and liberally educated family.  They have been in high school under my charge and I have learned to appreciate their accomplishments in all lines.

I subscribe to their refinement, their culture and their worthiness as well as their wonderful achievements in music.

Respectfully submitted,
ISAAC E. NEFF,
Principal Richmond, Ind., Public Schools.
