SOME SPLENDID ATTRACTIONS
SECURED BY SOCIETIES
ANDY. M. C. A.
Only Amusements to be Given in
Star Course. University to ,
Furnish Lectures
In the list of Star Course entertain
ers who will visit Chapel Hill this
year are to be found some notable
attractions. The students of the Uni
versity have always been fortunate in
regard to the number of high class
amusements they have been permitted
to enjoy, through the efforts of the
men and societies backing the Star
Course. It may not be out of place to
state that nothing is realized on these
entertainments, the sole aim being to
bring the students in close touch
with the highest art in music,; and
other artistic pleasures. ; Chapel. Hill
is so far out of the way of any regular
iteirferary for first class artists that if
it were not for the Star Course, and in
past years the Y. M. C. A. Lyceum
students would be denied the pleasure
and culture of these entertainments,
which help to break the monotony of
student life at Chapel Hill. ' j
The first attraction ' of the coming
season , will be the Edwin R. Weeks
company. The company consists of
Mr. Weeks and two assistants, Miss
Lucia Gillespie
Lula Sinclair, violinist. The entertain
ment consists of monologues, music
and character studies. Mr. Weeks is
an artist of some years experience,
having played engagements on the
largest courses throughout the country
and having enjoyed the prestige of a
European tour. It is said that with
his usual versatility, he is able to give
with the co-operation of his two assist
ants, all the variety usually furnished
by half a dozen artists. The essence
of his performance is wholesome hum
or and high class musical features.
The Alkahest Ladies quartet will
be here in December. This is a most
popular company, consisting of Miss
Palmer, contralto and reader; Miss
Maude Harkleroad, soprano; MissLila
Alton, second soprano; Miss Florence
Hobson, alto. All of these ladies
have studied under the best teachers
and have had years of experience in
concert work. The quartett has
pleased the audiences before whom it
has appeared, and it is said that the
personnel of tne company leaves noth
ing to be desired.
On January the 6th the boys of
Chapel Hill will have the opportunity
of seeing native New Zealanders pre
sent in song, story, and picture the
life of the Sonth Sea Islanders. This
company, known as "The Raveis"
consists of a trio of educated and cul
tured natives of new Zealand, one man
and two girls. Their entertainment
is given in costume, and is a sort of
Polynesian play, picturing the old,
wild life of the savage tribes of the
South Seas, embracing the peculiar
ceremonies, weird music, and solemn
incantations of the Maoris.
One of the most notable attractions
of the year is undoubtedly "Roney
Boys" which appears in Chapel Hill
on Feb. 21. This is a concert com
pany of boys, ... which has attained a
national reputation. The , director
and manager of .the company, Henry
FORMER BELOVED SECRETARY
OF Y. M. C. A. RETURNS
FOR SHORT STAY
With Mrs. Barnett He is Soon to Sail :
..: For China to Begin Work
Carolina men who knew him as our
Y. M. C. A. Secretary and recognized
in him one of the strong forces of stu
dent life are glad to welcome E. E.
Barnett back to the Hill. Barnett left
us last spring to the sorrow of many
friends to prepare for his work as Y.
M. C. A. Secretary in Hang Chow,
China. He comes back on a brief visit
before leaving, with Mrs. Barnett, for
his distant home. He was married in
July to Miss Bertha May Smith, of
Jasper, Fla. ; ,
As the special representative of the
University of North Carolina and. Clem
son College, S. . C, Mr. Barnett will
sail from San Francisco October 11 to
take up his work among the student
population of Hang Chow. He is en
thusiastic in the prospects of a life
spent in the service of the great
awakening nation of the Orient.
THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
An examination for the Rhodes
scholarship at Oxford will be held at
Raleigh October 25-26. The commit
tee under-whose care the- examination
is held is composed of President Ven
able, Chairman, Chief Justice Walter
Clark, and Supt. J. Y. Joyner. Only
graduates are eligible for this scholar
ship, which pays $1,500 a year for
three years. This amount, it is said,
is sufficient to pay only the usual ex
penses of a three years course at Ox
ford. Of the four North Carolinians
who have secured this scholarship,
two were graduates of the University.
These were Horner Winston and O. R.
Rand who is now at Oxford. The
other two Carolinians were Tranthan
and B. R. Lacy, Jr. The examination
is not competitive, but is the usual en
trance examination of Oxford,
B. Roney, is well known in the Musi
cal world, it being under his direction
that the choir of Grace Episcopal
Church, Chicago, attained such a wide
reputation some years ago. His boys
are taught to sing naturally, in the
unaffected and velvet', flute-like tone
of boy sopranos, or in the rich, souor
our notes of boy altos, trained at the
same time to sing like prima donnas,
with the interpretation of artists.
The Chicago Glee Club, a male
quartet, will be held in March. This
quartet has enjoyed great popularity
for twelve seasons, and has filled
nearly 3000 engagements in the Unit
ed States and Canada. It was this
club that first introduced the trom
bone quartet, which proved one of the
most artistic and pleasing novelties
ever presented. i
Another notable attraction in the
spring will be the Wilbur Starr Quar
tet Company, headed by Mr. Starr, as
baritone and impersonater. In addi
tion to the quartet, the performance
is strengthened by Mrs. Wilbur Starr
pianist and cellist. The kind of pro
gram offered by Mr. Starr is rich in
quality and variety, and would be at
tempted only by a master musician.
