Grants Pass
Program Success

The program given by Grants Pass
at Chautauqua Friday was one which
was exceedingly fine, and appreciated
by all who heard it. Grants Pass
certainly has exceptionally fine tai
ent, and the program rendered was
worthy of a well-trained company.
The program opened with an over
ture by the Grants Pass orchestra,
"Lustspiel." The orchestra was one
of the most evenly balanced and best
trained musical organizations of its
kind that has ever been formulated
in southern Oregon.
The next number was reading by
Miss Laura Thomas Gunnell, The
Convict's Violin" 1t was we'll deliv-
cred and the choice of the reading
was fine. A piano solo, the 'Sextet
from Lucia di Lammermoor," by
Verdi, left-hand arrangement, by
Ethel Carolyn Palmer, followed, and
the number brought down the ap-
plause of the house. Miss Palmer is
YER accomplished on the piano and
promises to have great future sdc
cesses in that line.
The next, violin solo, entitled "a
Song of Thanksgiving" was rendered
by Francis Allitson, and judging b!
the applause, the audience enjoyed i
very much.
The Grants Pass orchestra gave {
selection, the Desert Sands Inter
mezzo," in their finished manner, ant
were followed by another solo b,
Miss Ethel Carolyn Palmer, Can
tique D'Amour. E. R. Lawrenc
succeeded with a piano solo. and hi
ability as pianist is wonderful.
Miss Genevieve Patillo next gave
charming vocal solo, "Blossor
Land" and her voice certainly has
most pleasing quality. After he
solo the orchestra gave the famou
"Intermezzo-Cavalleria Rusticana.
The tenth number OF the program
Song Readings" by Laura Thoma
Gunnell and Ethel Carolyn Palmer
was the crowning feature She CAV
four readings, namely, 1.-TWO Loy
ers," Down the Mississippi. "''Dann
Dever," THE Umpires Goat"
The last number was by the oil

Athletic Classes
Are Large

The boys and girls classes of Pro-
fessor Larimore are very large this
year. The swimming classes of boys
come up to about one hundred and
fifty at the Natatorium. II one
wants to see an entertaining and
amusing sight, they should go to the
park in the afternoons and see the
boys lined up for performances on
the rings, bars and mattresses. Pro-
fessor Larimore has two able assist
ants, boys he has trained and who
have made good. Every parent
should require their children to at
tend these classes during Chautau-
qua.
