The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1910-08-03

baritone and his accomplished wife,
held forth during both the afternoon
and evening. The McDonalds were
heard this year for the second time
and everyone enjoyed their return.
Mr.. Mcdonald is singer Of rare
ability and his voice possesses extra
Ordinary volume and richness. Heyis
charming. whether singing the richest
classic or "Bibbity Bob.''
On z friday night Rev. Patrick Mac
Cory, Paulist missionary. was the
feature Of the evening.
His presentation Of 'The Story
Beautiful" with over one hundred
Icharming illustrations. was an inspira-
ltion and delight to one of the largest
audiences that gathered during the
Chautauqua. It was great oppor-
tunity for everyone who heard it and
. decided loss to anyone who missed
lit.
Saturday was another, good day. In
the afternoon the Music Makers Quar-
tet, consisting Of four gentlemen, was
| q great treat and was thoroughly en-
joyed by every one.
The lecture was delivered by
Strickland W. Gillian the poet
humorist. said to be the funniest man
on the American platform. His role
is difficult one and the fact that he
held the close attention of the audi
Ience proves his merit. He is a genu-
inc, whOle-souled fellow and is liked
by everyone who meets or hears him.
The chief attraction Of the evening
performance was the. address by Con
gressman Irwin 1. Lenroot, Of Wiscon-
| sin.
One thing that he did was to cor
rect some Of the erroneous impress
sions created by the address Of Con-
gressman Rainey in relation to the
work Of congressman.
X Mr.. Lenroot is q profound insur-
gent OF the Lac GILLETTE type, being one
Of his devoted disciples.
From the beginning, however, ON
request, he pus on The soft pedal', in
his address and really made very
good impression. It is remarkable
that in an address which lasted an
hour or more, he did not mention the
name Of Joe Cannon inasmuch as he
made the campaign for congress and
won with practically no other argu-
ment.
He paid a very high tribute to the
veterans of the civil war and won
the applause Of the audience, but did
not mention the fact that his predeces-
sor was an old soldier with magnifi-
cent war record and that he had de-
feated him by heaping abuse on him
from one end of the district to the
other.
Sunday was a good day and one long
to be remembered. The musical per-
formance was in charge of the Fox
Sisters Orchestra. The music was
charming and the appearance of the
performers winsome.
The lecturer for the afternoon was
Lee Francis Lybarger. whose lecture
on Character Building was one OF
the pronounced features of the Chau-
tauqua. His address was able, elo.
nnont ond oho ,r,iur Co,n. "a Z
appointed because he did not deliver
his lecture on How Napoleon Won,"
but the fact that 1t was Sunday ac-
counts for the change and the moral
effect Of the lecture upon his large
audience fully justified the action Of
the management in changing the sub
ject of the lecture.
One OF the great events Of the
Chautauqua was the address by DR..
Mcdowell. Methodist bishop, on Sun
day night.
He is man of pleasing address, al
ripe scholar and a profound thinker.
His arguments were logical and clear
ly and persuasively presented.
No better illustration can be men,
toned of the impression made by his
address than to quote the language Of
one who heard him and said, "It is an
address that one can never forget"
The afternoon session on Monday
opened with concert recital by the
Lee-Lathrop-F -Fullenwider Entertainers.
We would like to commend the per-
formance and might do so If we could
forget the Kirksmith Sisters.
Miss Myrtle Lee is said to have q
finished education in music and we
are disposed to agree with the state
ment.
Universal regret was expressed be,
cause of the failure Of Congressman
Mckinley to appear to deliver his lee
ture on "The Yellow PERIL" but the
audience was well repaid in DR.. E.
WEey O'Neill. a Methodist Clergyman
from Chicago, his subject being
"Seers Of Vision.
