r. P. Hobson.
Newberry is in Chautauqua business
in dead earnest Beginning with
June IS, and continuing through June
! "a, Newberry will have on one of the
most elaborate Chautauquas ever
booked in South Carolina
William Jennings Bryan, who is
yielding a tremendous influence upon
the thought Of this age; Hobson, Of
Merrimac fame, and ineteen others
men and women of renoWn will COM
pose the weeks entertainment.
Newberry is. all aglow with enthu-
siasm The chamber o. commerce is
going to give a home coming week,
and elaborate plans are formed for
entertaining out-of-town guests. Sea-
son tickets twere put on sale Thurs
day morning for the Chautauqua and
$500 worth sold the first day.
We have a large, handsome and
! well ventilated auditorium, and out
of-town guests, wishing to attend the
ChautauQua, can have tickets reserved
by writing or telephoning Mr.. Jno B.
Mayes, treasurer Of Chautauqua AS
sociation.
Besides Bryan and Hobson, the pro-
gram will include one entertainment
by Miss Bargelt Miss Bargelt is the
fortunate possessor Of a pleasing per-
sonality. In fact, she fairly teens
with that mysterious quality univer-
sally designated as personal magne-
tism. Miss Bargelt is a crayon artist
and comes in company of four, who
promise an evening Of rare enjoyment
Tom Corwine, recognized as one Of the
greatest polyphonic imitators, comes
for one engagement. He makes you
laugh without being ashamed Of your
self; makes you think without feeling
that you are bored by a moralizing
tale. To hear Corwine for an hour is
like taking a health tonic. He will
rest your tired brain, and make your
soul cleaner than before. The great
master Of magic, mirth and mystery,
Walden, gives an entertainment. With
Walden on the stage delusion fills the
atmosphere and men and women doubt
the accuracy Of their own sight.
Following Walden, will be Eldredge,
who is one of the greatest impersona-
tors who will travel the South this
summer. He has been on the profess
sional platform about ten years, but
he has been an entertainer all his
life. He renders such plays as Enoch
Arden, Shylock, Fagin, David Harum,
Eben Volden, Chilo and many other
popular plays and novels.
Another entertainment will be given
by Charles NeWcomb from the Univer-
sity of Chattanooga, in which institu-
tion he is professor of oratory. Mr.
Newcomb possesses full, rich voice
Of excellent range. His presence COM
mands the immediate attention of his
audience, and his easy, natural ges-
lures and effective pantomime work
aid greatly in presenting his interpre-
tations of these splendid plays he has
chosen for the entertainment of his
audience. He can interpret and keep
distinctly apart ten different charac-
ters, and make you see them so clear
ly as to believe them real, living hu-
man beings.
The De Koven quartette, together |
with a ten piece brass band. has been
engaged for the entire week. Rev.
LOUIS BrlStoW opens the Chautauqua
by conducting the union services in
the city opera house Sunday evening,
June 18.
Mr.. Hobson is here on Monday, June
10, and Mr.. Bryan comes on Wednes-
day, and Clark, of Chicago, will be the
platform manager for Chautauqua for
the entire week, and will also deliver
one lecture. His subject is "Play
Ball." Clark takes everybody to be
good and to be worthy of his friend
ship until it is proven the contrary,
He is good, jolly, natural fellow and
his lecture is brim full of comedy.
