Press and Personal Comment
From Manager,   Wright   Entertainment   Bureau,   St.   Louis,
Mo.—The Parnells are filling their fourth season with this bureau, and this company is the only one we have ever booked that we could re-book in the same towns for the third consecutive season.     (Signed)   WALTER  H.  BROWN.
Des Moines (Iowa) Register and Leader.—The Parnells are certainly artists in their profession, musicians and readers, and   thoroughly   pleased   their   audience.
From Manager of Auditorium, Red Wing, Minn.—The Par¬nells gave one of the finest entertainments in this theatre that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.—W. A. SCOTT.
Watertown (So. Dak.) Daily Public Opinion.—The varied program given by these versatile artists as the last number of the Lyceum Course struck a more popular chord than any before offered and every one went away in the highest of spirits. Both Mr. and Mrs. Parnell are accomplished artists in everything they undertook. This was their second appear¬ance in Watertown and our people will be glad to welcome them   again.
Wild Rose (Wis.) Times.—The Parnells may have equals on the platform, but we have not met them. We hope they will   be   an   annual   attraction   on   our   Chautauqua.
Virginia (Ill.) Inquirer.—The Parnells proved themselves excellent entertainers and furnished their audience with a musical and literary treat that has not been surpassed in this city. Only words of praise have been heard from those who attended this most excellent number of the winter entertainment course.
Cuba (Mo.) Review.—Did you hear the Parnells? Well, if you didn't, you missed a rare treat—one that doesn't often come to our city. Some of our leading citizens who are good judges said that we have not had so good a number from any Lyceum Bureau. Mr. Parnell is a reader of marked ability and it would be hard to equal his talented wife in her child impersonations. All left feeling that they had been highly entertained and that their lives had been lifted to a higher plane, from which they would not descend for many a  day.     Our  best  wishes  go  with   The Parnells.
Newcastle (Neb.) Times.—By the time the first four num¬bers on their program were given, everyone had been con¬vinced that Mr. and Mrs. Parnell were fine people, such as we are proud to know personally, and before that we were convinced that they were skillful artists in their profession. * * * The organ chimes, with their deep, rich, melodious tones  baffles adequate  description.
Lake City (Iowa) Graphic.—If the next numbers equal The Parnells they will "have to go some." Many who heard them say they alone were worth the price of the season ticket.
Gorin (Mo.) Argus.—Mr. and Mrs. Parnell are not out¬classed  by any  company  "en   route"   today.
De Soto (Wis.) Argus.—The Parnells are the best enter¬tainers of the kind that it has been De Soto's good fortune to  secure.
Willmar (Minn.) Republican Gazette.—The Parnells are probably two of the most versatile artists on the Lyceum platform today. Mrs. Parnell's readings in child dialect made her an instant favorite, and Mr. Parnell proved him¬self a wonderful entertainer in his impersonations as well as in   his  vocal   solos.
Volga (So. Dak.) Tribune.—To say that The Parnells made good with a big "G" is expressing it mildly. They do all their work well—in fact, as well or better than artists who do only one line of work. Mr. and Mrs. Parnell are by far the best entertainers we have ever had on our Lyceum Courses.
Hanover (Ill.) Journal.—Mr. Parnell in his impersonations and dialect selections was a "circus," and Mrs. Parnell has few equals as a reader, while their musical selections on the organ chimes were new and novel and a mystery to most people, as few could understand how they managed to coax such music from so simple looking contrivances as the chimes.
Terry (Iowa) Daily Chief.—Our people are loud in their praises of the interesting program as given by these excel¬lent entertainers. Their repertoire is surely a varied one. It has been years since any finer entertainment was given in   our   city.
Wynot (Neb.) Tribune.—If the people had realized the merit of this company the house would have been packed to the doors. They gave a diversified program and there was not a number but what pleased to the utmost. Those who failed to hear them missed one of the best entertain¬ments   ever   given   in   Wynot.
Brooten (Minn.) Review.—Words of praise for the Parnell entertainment are heard on every hand and all who were present heartily recommend them as the best entertainers who   have   ever   visited   Brooten.
Sullivan (Mo.) News.—The most delightful entertainment it  has  been   our   pleasure   to   hear  in   years
Baltic (So. Dak.) Minnehaha.—We hope that all have experienced the feeling of satisfaction that comes from wit¬nessing an entertainment that more than makes good every promise  made.     Such  was  our experience  with   The  Parnells.
Palmyra (Wis.) Enterprise.—Every number on the pro¬gram was cleverly done and enthusiastically received. An especially delightful feature were the selections on the organ chimes, which have the quality of tone of Swiss bells. There  are  only  two   in   the  company  but   they  are  enough.
Newton (Iowa) Daily News.—Everyone who heard The Parnells is enthusiastically praising them. Mr. and Mrs. Parnell are the only members of the company, but they give so many kinds of selections that they are, in variety of work, a company of a dozen or more. Every number was artistically   presented.
Morristown (Minn.) Press.—The program given by The Parnells was considered by all the best number given here in years. Their program gives a variety that cannot help but   please all.
The PARNELLS have a record showing that 40 per cent of all dates filled are returns.
