man. Miss Florence Avery, favorite
in musical circles at the University Of
Oregon, and who has often been heard
by Valley music lovers. gave pleas
ing rendition from a selection from
the opera of "Samson and Delili.
Saturday afternoon was devoted to a
program prepared by Mrs. Edith Tozier
Weatherred, who was at the Ch, utau-
qua in the interest of the Oregon Man
ufaeturers' Association. On account of
showers on the hills surrounding Port
land Saturday morning many manufac-
turers were prevented from coming to
the Chautauqua with their families.
However. about ten of the representa-
tives of the organization were present,
and addresses were delivered by Thorn
as S. Mann. president of the organiza-
tion, and by Mrs. Weatherred.
Saturday night, Vaudeville Night,
was the big night. 1t was the night of
laughs and thrills. There was no one
who failed to enjoy the program. or at
least parts of it, The Portland Ad
Club quartette, by their singing and
the acting of the parts of the songs
they sang called down great applause.
Clarke and Gilbert were even more
entertaining than usual, and by their
care free, void of self-consciousnes
acting, gave better presentation of
their Jokes than do most professionals.
Despite the fact that shortly before
noon on the day before she had sprained
an ankle, Miss Dorothy Epping. as
sisted by her sisters, Misses Betty and
Adrianne, gave one of the most beauti-
full dances ever seen by most of those
who attended the performance. Miss
Epping became a beautiful, graceful
woodland nymph, and as she swayed
and glided lightly over the floor there
was a hush in the audience, even as
though the entire assembly had been
carried back to the days of paganism,
when men believed in sylvan spirits,
and il was for some moments after
"An Invocation to the Spirit of the
Forest" had been completed before the
material senses of the people returned
ad they broke forth into applause.
AL. Rabies, with his Hebrew and
Italian impersonations, made the woods
roar with laughter. The Upper Valley
gymnastic trio made the spines of the
timid feel cool when they began to
whirl around the horizontal bar. And
every boy in the audience will be max
ing an effort to initiate the costumes
worn by the Arens Bros, who. how
ever, were unable to complete their
number, having lost the roll of music
for the performance.
The Gipsy strollers, according to the
expressions of those who saw the play
let, was better than that of last year.
The dances and choruses had been bet
ter prepared and the costumes showed
more taste.
The scene was opened with the gip-
sizes in camp, some seated around a
boiling pan, others divided into groups,
throwing dice and playing cards.
The first selection was the chorus
from "The Bohemian Girl" Mrs. c..

sung in her rich voice, full of volume.
| Then came the dance of the Wood
land Nymph," Miss Dorothy Epping,
accompanied by Mrs. Chas. Hall with
her violin. Mrs. Hall was dressed as
a gipsy boy. The dance was beauti-
full one. Miss Epping as she danced
played the coquette, further arousing
the love of the gypsy boy who was sup
posed to be her sweetheart and playing
on the jealousy of Culver X. 0sgood.
who Joined her in the dance and who
played well the part of the jealous
gipsy lover.
Then followed the singing by Mr..
