punbar's EvenIna Program.

Dunbar's Evening Program.
In the evening the Dunbars gave
musical treat which sternest critic and
plain everyday music lover alike
could applaud and appreciate. Their
tremendous hit was scored through
many channels. perhaps through the
bells, as this was the feature of the
evening program. The Dunbars are
the geniuses of the bell ringing en-
tertainments. They stand without
peers in this line on the American
platform-or at any rate You couldn't
have made that chautauqua audience
think any differently after the pro-
gram was over. And 1t was fact
that the program presented by the
quartet was great one and no mis-
take. They use the largest peal OF
bells of all the companies, using over
two hundred of all sizes and tones.
Besides their bell ringing program
they gave the usual number of quar-
tet numbers and cello solos by Ralph
Dunbar and readings by Harry Dun
bar. They have given the most COM
plete evening program of entertain.
ment that has been given this year
and they were thoroughly enjoyed.
They give another one OF these great
concerts Thursday evening and will
be greeted by big crowd.

And he drove home many ideas and
all of them good ones in his lecture
