ladies in the High school auditorium

of The Singing Man, and other poems

Singing Man is a poem depicting the

interest at the present time. Mrs.

Tho public has to be educated.
That of course includes you and
me. We are, therefore, trying to
educate the readers of Tho Citizen
to look not only upon the outside
pages for llvo news matter, but upon
every page, which Includes pages 2,
3, 6 and 7. To-day's Citizen is es
pecially Interesting. On the second
page is an article from the pen of A.
M. Stevens upon "Wayne County
Beats the West." Then page 3 tells
of the organization of an United
Spanish War Veteran camp In
Honesdale; also an' article concern
ing former Honesdale people where
the mother of a little boy tried to
get her son away from custodians.

besides considerable other valuable
reading.
For Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday evenings with a matinee on
Saturday afternoon, Jos. Eckl's will
present at the Lyric, five big all new
vaudeville acts. Mr. Eckl's offering
of vaudeville at the Lyric a few
weeks, ago was certainly first class In
every respect, ana tnis gentleman
declares that upon his coming en
gagement here, he will Introduce a
bill of acts that will excell, on a
whole, his former show here. Wil
son and Rich, black face comedians.
who are favorites in their lino of
work here, having played an engage-
ment with the Amity Minlstrels a
few years ago, will introduce a new
and original act consisting of sing
ing and dancing with plenty of com
edy. This team is very well known
and liked here, which fact will no
doubt have a tendency to crowd tho
Lyric to Its doors at every perform
anco. The Great Romalne, the
world's master musician, will enter
tain. It is said that this man can
almost make a violin talk. A refin
ed Irish comedy sketch act will be
presented by Kelly & Adams. An es
pecially fine comedy act is that of
"Saulpaugh," America's greatest
comedy clown acrobat. This act Is
one big laugh. Watch tho tables.
The added feature will be Andy
Amann and Frances Hartley in their
screaming comedy sketch, "The Ger
man Professor." Miss Hartley is
considered by many to be the most
beautiful woman on tho stage. She
Is certainly some prima donna. Two
performances will be given on Satur
day evening, the first one starting
at 6:30, the second at about 8:30.
This arrangement was made on ac
count of disappointment to many
people on tho Saturday night of the
last Eckl's vaudeville performance
here, many people on that occasion
were unable to obtain admittance to
the theatre.

about that.
