The program for our ChautauQua
has been announced, and it surely looks
good. The White 4 Myers people will
come in with their great line Of lee
turers, musical organizations and en-
tertainers. who appear not only up to
the high standards Of past years, but
considerably above it.
imperial Ladies' Orchestra.
One OF the big musical features will
be the Imperial Ladies' Orchestra, con-
ststing of large company, handsome
ly gowned professional lady musicians
who have been entertaining at the
homes Of the millionaires at their big
social functions in the great cities.
They will be on our Chautauqua pro-
gram for two grand concerts. OF
course we are expecting great things
Of this magnificent organization.
The Westminster Cathedral Choir is
the other great musical organization
for the Chautauqua. 1t numbers from
fifteen to twenty professional vocahsts,
many of them soloists Of distinction.
They will give two grand concerts at
the Chautauqua, anC their program
will consist of the gems from the ora.
torios and operas, embracing that
which is grandest and noblest in vocal
music. ~
This choir is the most pretentious
singing organization that has ever ap
peared at Chautauqua.
Joseph Konecny and Company will
also be on the program. Konecny is
the celebrated Bohemian violinist now
touring this country. He is the pupil
of Professor Sevcik (teacher Of Jan
Kubelik) Of the Vienna Imperial Com
servatory. For sheer brilliancy his
work is not eXcelled in America. His
work is characterized, above all, by
that fiery temperament which is so

with specially prepared program for
the summer Chautauqua.- %
Marian Chase Schaeffer, the great
reader and vocalist, with her accom-.
PIANIST, will probably be the greatest
single entertainment attraction offered
at our Chautauqua. Her recent big
successes in Chicago and vicinity give
promise Of the treat that is in store
for us. The White & Myers people are
paying her more money than they
have ever paid any single artist of her
character in the past.
The Tyrolean Alpine Singers, COM
pany of seven Swiss and Bavarian mu-
sicians and entertainers. are in some
respects one Of the most attractive
musical organizations on the program.
These people sing the famous yodling
and warbling songs of the Swiss and
Bavarian Alps, and this, in addition
to their beautiful music on the unique
instruments Of their native land has
made them possibly the most popular
musical company touring the Chau-
tauquas.
The Eastern Artists Company, an
other group Of musicians and enter
tainers, some of whom have worked
abroad, will furnish substantial fea-
ture Of the musical program.
Sarah Ruth Bates and Her Girls.

one of the best concert companies that
have ever been -en the Lyceum and
will be another highly &C.
ceptable feature Of the program. This
company has seen years of service. |
and its quality is standard. and Miss
Bates is the most delightful Of read
ers.
