THE METROPOLITANS
In introducing the Radcliffe Attractions which will appear
on the Chautauqua program in this city in a few days attention
should be called to the Metropolitans composed of Myrta K. Gilkin
son, soprano, Edward Coleman, musician, and Alexa Whitmire vio
linist and pianist. The members of this company are true artists,
posessing unusual talent and ability. They have made their pro
fession a life study, and have had opportunities as afforded by
America’s as well as Europe’s greatest schools and music masters.
Each member is a soloist of ability, possessing a personality and
displaying an individuality and originality that wins an audience
from the beginning. The work of the company is on a high plane
of artistic endeavor—their ideal in programs being to use only the
best, yet so arranged that it is entertaining as well as educational.
