THE PHOENIX CHAUTAUOUA
The Opening Saturday Night Aroused
 Enthusiasm.

All those who heard Prof. Mark E. Beal on Saturday evening at the open ing concert of the Chautauqua are most enthusiastic in his praise. SeI- dom has anything so good been heard in this community. His rendition of How Rubie Played" brought down the house. and his "Courtship of Miles Standish' received many plaudits. Prof. Real does not aim at sensational effects but charms all by his perfect naturalness, which is the highest at tainment of artistic reading. He is equally at home in all shades of senu- ment fgrom rollicking humor to affect ing pathos. and the Christmas carol which he gives this evening affords ap portunity for his versatile and unusual powers of Interpretation.
 Rev. Hugh K. Walker. pastor of the Immanuel Presbyterian church, Los Angeles. said: T have rarely enjoyed spent recently in listening to Professor Bears masterly rendition of Dickens Christmas Carol"
 The work of general expression u--- der Professor Beal will be the practi- cal application of the principal ele- ments of elocution as embodied in vO- calization, action, emphasis, infection, initiative modUlation and style.
 Mrs. Kate Tupper Galpin arrived from Los Angeles Sunday morning. She will begin .her class in Shakes peare for the Chautauqua assembly at 4 o'clock this afternoon The play se- lected for study is King John," a drama which aside from it's historical interest, arouses the profoundest sym pathy for motherhood. The beautiful child Arthur is a well known charac- ter because of the old school readers. but his mother, Constance is not so well known. Her struggle for her sons rights in opposition to his powerful but interruptions uncle King John, is one of the most pathetic in history and will lose none of its interest under Mrs. GaIpin's instruction. Mrs Galpin is eminently a women's woman. She was the choice of the women of Cali fornia at the Congress of Representa- tive Women in Chicago. at the Colum- bian exposition and delivered six ad- dresses at that notable gathering. She was one of the organizers of the Friday Morning club and the WOmans Par lament of Southern California. Al every gathering of the women of that state she is in demand as speaker. As a leader and teacher she is sought for in all the club and reform work in the state. The Shakespeare and literature classes are clubs in themselves. The estimation in which she is held at home is best shown by the faet that her classes at present number three hun dred ladies. She comes to Phoenix for her vacation. and it is expected that
