contains an array of the best talent
upon the lecture platform. Several
familiar names will be observed in
the list and others not familiar to
all. Those who had the opportun-
ity of seeing the Ben Greet Players
last year will welcome their second
appearance. Several times lecturers
of note have had their names upon
previous programs in this city but
when the day arrived for the lecture
they were for some reason unable to
fill their engagement. 1t will be
most gratifying to those who wish
to attend chautauqua this year to
know that nothing of the sort can
happen this season, except through
illness. The program here announc-
ed moves in a circuit and no dates
may conflict. It is positively assur-
ed by the management that whatev-
er is announced will be Forthcoming
as scheduled.
The musical lineup is as follows:
The Dunbar Singing Orchestra: The
Hinton Mordelia Company; Rogers
and Grilley; Sam schildkret's Hun
garian Orchestra; The Alpine Sing
ers and Yodlers; The Redpath Grand
Opera Quartet and Quintano's Band.
The Dunbar Singing Orchestra is
sextette of talented ladies, who
sing and play in superb entertain
ment style. The Hinton-Mordelia
combination is a compound of mirth
and melody. Rogers and Grilley are
the famous pair of entertainers who
with voice and harp have been
carrying OF honors for dozen
years together. Schildkret's Hungar-
ian Orchestra is one of the great
musical organizations Of its kind
under the personal direction Of Sam
schildkret, top-notch leader and
we'll known composer.
The Alpine Singers and Yodlers
will present something entirely new
and novel at Chautauqua. It is a
great triumph that they could be
secured for Chautauqua. They will
appear in beautiful native Swiss cos
tunes and render the inimitable
folk and yodle songs Of their noun
tain homes.
Another feature that will attract
much attention is the Redpath
Grand Opera Company These will
not be associated with the big band,
but will furnish separate programs
and give delightful costumed
sketches from standard Operas and
a complete act from Martha. Quin-
tano and his great band will furnish
the music for one day and under the
masterful direction Of Quintanc,
himself will fully maintain the sys-
TENS reputation for furnishing band
music of the very first grade.
The lecturers engaged for the
season are seasoned platformists who
have proven their right to a big
hearing. The list embraces Chancel-
lor Geo. H. Bradford; Senator Frank
8. Cannon; Governor Henry A.
Buohtel; Governor Robert B. Glenn;
Julius Caesar Maybe; Father Aus
tin J. Fleming; DR.. Alva M. ReitZel;
