We have received from The Chautauqua
Association of Pennsylvania copy of the
programme for the Chautauqua at Rock
vile, beginning Wednesday, July 9Th. and
lasting through the following Tuesday, and
it gives us pleasure to announce that most
of the entertainment and instruction pro-
vided is entirely new and is regarded as
very good.
1t will be disappointment to some to
learn that Miss Hamilton. the platform
superintendent of last year, will not return
this year. DR.. Pearson has written us that
the Chauquatau will be in charge of Mrs.
Emily Farrow Gregory. Southern woman,
whose readings and personality will be a
delight to all.
Space will not permit to tell here of all
of the good things promised for Chautauqua
week, but we wish to tell you about some
of them. The routine of the programme is
practically the same as last year. opening
exercises series Of lectures. concerts. inn
presentations. dramas. motion pictures, etc.
The series of lectures will cover such
topics as THE People the Power Public
Opinion Sovereign :" Wealth and Civiliza-
ton: Constructive and Destructive Forces :"
Political Reconstruction The True Func-
ton of Government - THE Place of Every
Man and Woman in Changing Conditions !"
THE Outcome Progress and Prosperity :"
These lectures will be delivered by Mrs.
Gregory.
The concerts will be by the McKinnie
operate Company, The Chautauqua Trio,
The Original Strollers Quartet, Imperial
Russian Quartet and the Tyrolean Alpine
Yodlers. We have been informed that
these people are regarded as accomplished
artists in their line, and that we may ex-
pect excellent entertainment from them.
The Yodlers were here last year.
The lecturers are such men as Ellsworth
Plumstead, who pleases grown-ups and
youngsters alike. and his jollity is the infec-
ton sort which carries an audience off its
feet A. Roy Fred Carter will give his
well-knOwn lecture on The Panama Canal
and the Panama. Pacific Exposition. This
lecture is illustrated and very instructive.
Do you recall how Frank Dixon shocked
you last year with his talk on THE Out
grown Constitution 7" Well, this year he
will change his attitude entirely. and you
see different side of the man, construc-
tive reformed. in the subject THE Social
Survey. or Taking Stock of Town" Don't
forget that DR.. Pearson will be here with
one of his good humOr lectures. and If the
weather is hot, some one may have to
make motion allowing him to act the
boy again. Ross Crane, cartoonist and
clay-modeler will give very instructive
and illustrative lecture.
DIR. Russell II. Cornwell is regarded as
one of the best of Chautauqua lecturers,
and our people will look forward to his ap-
pearance with great anticipation.
And don't forget that ex-Gov. Joseph W.
Folk, known throughout this land. is down
for a lecture on the last day of the sea-
son.
Now you have an idea of what Is in
store for you. but we know that you want
to know about Victor and his band Well,
it is our pleasure to say that he and the
band will be here on the last day of the
Chautauqua and give two concerts in the
afternoon and evening. Last year this
band was here on the opening day, and our
people said that the concert given by them
was worth the price Of the season ticket of
So.
We know that you want to make the
Chautauqua one grand success this year.
One thing remains to be done to accom-
plish this-the sale of the remaining I'M
