he hoped the present Legislature
would do so. He then told the story
of the loyalty of Pennsylvania In all
iformer national crises. Of the great
men of the State in Revolutional
and Civil War perionds. He then
gave a resume of what would be and
was expected of Pennsylvania In this
greatest crisis. He believed in the
patriotism and loyalty of the great
Keystone State. He closed this most
Inspiring address by saying:
"We cannot serve our country and
Siot our God and when we learn to
realize this, the whole machinery of
■our government, the whole economic
Outline of life will be better and more
.like you and I want It to be, I do not
'know what the mind of our Presi
dent Is, but whatever he asks us to
fdo, lets us promptly, steadfastly and
■certainly do it for this country. If
we pant enduring peace let as speak
ilnto the heart of Europe a united
fcepubllc.

BILT.Y MURRAY (Comedian)
Billy Murray Is one of the most
successful of all American singers
of humorous songs, ana probably en
; tertains through his records a larger
; audience than any other singer who
has ever lived. His Irish songs, with
j just a touch of quaint brogue; the
1 rapid-fire type of comic songs with
Jno breathing places (Billy never I
i seems to take breath); the topical
| song, which presents the follies of
; the time in humorous rashion; popu
lar sentimental songs; dialect spe-
I cialties—no matter what the lino of
j work he undertakes it is sure to be
j cleverly done. His enunciation re
' simply wonderful; there is never any
'• doubt as to a single syllable when
| Billy Murray sings it.

whose lyric tenor voice rivals in
sweetness afld purity that of the
great John McCormick, is an artist
of world-wide celebrity. Who has

ARTHUR COLLINS (Comedian)
j Mr. Collins is one of the most suc
! cessful singers of "Coon Songs" now
before the public. It has been freely
j predicted that this type of song
! would cease to be the fashion, but
J we can see few signs of any decrease
|in popularity. Audiences, however,
| are becoming more particular and
l insist that the numbers must be well
•sung and the words etxremely plain. |
; Mr. Collins is quite able to please his
hearers in this respect and his work
is always good, both in solos and tn
clever duets with Mr. Harlan. These
unique songs and specialties have
amused countless record customers
I during the past fifteen years.

BYRON G. HARLAN (Tenor)
Byron G. Harlan, the popular
tenor and comedian, ts one of the
most versatile of the company of
entertainers, and really seems at
home in almost any kind of work he
essays. Mr. Harlan not only sings
popular ballads in a remarkably
pleasant tenor voice, but is one of
the eleverest and most amusing of
comedians, whether his Impersona
tion be that of a typical Yankee, a
darky wench or an end man in a
minstrel show.
Besides this graet array of talent
there will be Vess Ossman, the fam
ous banjo king, whose several num
bers will add delight to the fine
chosen program. Then there is the
famous pianist -com poser Mr. Theo
dore Morse who will accompany the
singers. Mr. Morso will also play a
medley of his most popular compo
sitions among which are the famous
songs, "Mother," "Oood-By .Sweat
heart, Good-By," "Dear Old Girl,"
and others. The opportunity offer
ed Harrlsburg music lovers to hear
these great phonograph artists In
persoh is one rarely afforded, end
music lovers will be wise to make an
early reservation for this concert.
