CHAUTAUQUA IS

LARGE CROWDS GATHER AND EN-
JOY EXCELLENT PROGRAMS
PREPARED FOR THEIR ENTER
TAlNMENT.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


DeFuniak, March S.-Attendance has
| been better than ever in the history
| of the Chautauqua. Three plays have
been presented the past week by the
| Byron w. King School of Oratory.
"One Touch of Nature Friday night
had DIR. King and Florence Lahrmer
in the leading roles, and was ably
given by some six members of the
school of oratory.
THE Obstinate Family" presented
Saturday night was a great success.
The large excursion audience was
kept in roars of laughter by this bit of
farce comedy. DR.. King is himself a
| finished actor. Students are coming
from the adjoining counties to study
dramatic art and voice culture.
Miss Addie McLemore, who has con-
Quoted the story telling hour the past
| week scored a decided hit with the
patrons of the Chautauqua. Her re-
agement for next year has been an
nounced and met with prolonged ap-
plause from young and old. Her rem
dition of children's stories is natural
and artistic in the extreme, and her
personality has endeared all lovers of
literature, and made them converts to
the great work she is doing in instill-
ing a desire for better reading among
| the children of the present age. This
lis great part Of the Chautauqua
movement.
The course of Shalzespearean lee
lures was closed by DR.. King, Thurs
day, when he handled the subject "Ju-
Illus Caesar" The rendition of the
! speech of Antony over the body of
Caesar was one of the masterpieces of
the Chautauqua- At the close a pres
ent was given to DR.. King by the high
! school as a tribute of their apprecia-
. ton of the great benefit they had re-
! ceived from the lectures.
Walo's orchestra has been on the
program daily and is giving great sat
| isfaction. Their playing of the over
ture from the Poet and Peasant" was
acknowledged one of the great treats
of the past week.
Florence Lahrmer is a gifted reader.
Thursday night, was given over to
sketches, and character impersona-
lions. She is very effective in child
representations, and possesses a very
attractive stage presence.
English Cathedrals" was the theme
of the Friday morning lecture by Ken
meth Bruce. The title was robbed Of
its usual dryness by a vivid play Of
Imagination on the part of the lectur-
er, and number of humorous anec-
dotes and legends. It proved to be a
very instructive and interesting hour.
The readings of Nell Atkinson Sat
urday morning deserve mention.
Everyone was delighted with her Sc
lections and she was heartily encored.
This is Miss Atkinson's second ap-
pearance at the Chautauqua.
Two concerts were rendered Satur-
day by the DeKoven Male Quartette
This is the third consecutive year that
this organization has been at the Flor

and later a musical story was the
unique method employed to merrily
pass the time. Fruit punch, ice cream
and cake were served after the games
The boys proved themselves not only
courteous hosts. but well versed in the
art of entertaining, and the young
girls who were the recipients of their
delightful hospitality are sincere in
their praise of the entertainment and
