ENTERTAINMENTS.
The pipe organ in Cabell Hall is one of the best products of one of the
largest organ manufacturers in America. It is an antiphonal organ with fifteen
hundred pipes, and exhibits all the possibilities of organ manufacture. To bring
out these possibilities requires a master organist, and it is the purpose of the
management of the Summer School to procure distinguished organists for the
recitals.
A Musical Festival and other entertainments will be announced during the
session of the Summer School. The Coburn Players last session presented three
plays: The Yellow Jacket, An Imaginary Sick Man, and Macbeth. The Clifford
B. Devereux Company gave three plays: She Stoops to Conquer, As You Like
It, and A Modern Drama; the Frank Lea Short Company, three plays, The
Ernest Gamble Concert Party, one recital; Jennie Dufau, one recital. Negotiations
are pending for a number of high-class attractions for the session of 1916.
The whole course includes about twenty numbers and the price of a season
ticket is $2.50, making the cost about the same as moving pictures. Besides
there will be moving pictures regularly in Peabody Hall.
