THE LEON CHAUTAUQUA
Opens Next tuesday with Program
UnexCelIed. Seventeen Good
Programs which will Please.

The Leon Chautauqua which opens
next Tuesday, August 9th, is going to
be one of the greatest treats which
the people of Decatur county have ever
had the privilege of enjoying. The
booklets containing the program were
received the first of the week and can
be obtained at any of the business
houses. The Redpath Lyceum Bureau
who have the Chautauqua in charge
sprung something of surprise on the
people in the way of the program, for
while at first they agreed to furnish
twelve programs, they have made ad-
ditions and seventeen different pro-
grams will be given. Just think of it.
Seventeen first-class entertainments and
all can be heard by holders of season
tickets for only $1.50 which makes it
cost them less than nine cents for each
program. The program contains the
names of many noted celebrities, such
as DIR. Monroe Markley, Rt. Rev. Mon
signore ]. Henry Then, Hon. Carl D.
Thompson, Gov. Hoch, of Kansas, Win
field r. Gaylord, DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills, DR.. Peter Mac Queen, Arthur Mac
Murray, Geo. L. McNutt, the Royal
Hungarian Orchestra, the finest or
chestra on the road, the Sterling Jubilee
Singers, Superior Motion Pictures with
w. Robert Goss, expert operator and
Miss Bartel, Singer and Pianist, the
Hesperian Male Quartette, and Garrett
son, Jugglery, Music, etc.
The Chautauqua was secured upon a
guarantee of the business men of Leon
who purchased 800 season tickets. They
have to pay for them whether they are
used or not, and if you are in favor of
securing the Chautauqua as permanent
thing for Leon you should do your share
toward supporting it by purchasing
season tickets of the local parties who
have them for sale. Don't put off buy
ing but secure your tickets at once.
The same program was presented last
week at the Chautauqua held at Bur-
lington, Mt. Pleasant and Ottumwa, and
the newspapers at each place say it was
one of the finest Chautauquas ever held
in Iowa and at the close contracts were
made for the Chautauqua to be held
again next year.
Just look at this excellent program.
Don't you think it is worth the price,
about nine cents for each program? If
you heard any Of these attractions aside
from at the Chautauqua you would pay
all the way from so cents to S1.50 for
each number.
1t is great deal cheaper to buy
seasons tickets even il you are not able
to attend all the sessions, for if you pay
the single admission prices, Soc, 35c.
and 25c. it will soon amount to more
than season ticket.
