THREE RED LETTER
DAYS To FEATURE
CHAUTAUQUA BILL
Ben Greet Players, Kryl's Band,
Denton Grand Opera Co. and
Westminster Choir to Appear
Here This Week.

OF the many Interesting features on
the South Bend chautauqua program
beginning Wednesday, several stand
out as being most extraordinary. For
instance. the famous Ben Greet play
ers, Marcus Kellerman and the West
minister choir and Bohumir Kryl, his
concert band, and the Denton Grand
Opera company are a combination of
talent difficult to surpass. The three
consecutive days upon which these
stellar attractions are scheduled TO
appear here may indeed be called the
red letter days at the chautauqua.
Ben Greet Players.
Ihe Ben Greet players were the
nrst people with any notable histrionic
ability TO successfully stage the out
door drama. Ben Greet. the founder
and present director of this unique
dramatic organization, has been ac-
lively engaged in stage work for over
thirty years. He. today. is considered
one of the greatest living opponents
of the English drama. His work in
populariZing Shapespeare and the old
English comedies the world over has
made him a prominent figure in edu-
cational cir cles.
Last season they gave "a Comedy
OF tIrorS on one hundred and ten
chautauqua programs to over two
hundred Thousand people. Crowds fire.
quently swarmed the big tent an hour
before the performance began in or
der to procure seats. This year they
will present one Of Shakespeare's most
popular plays, Twelfth Night" The
cast will include such well-known Ben
Greet players as Percival Vivian,
Grace Halsey Mills and Charles Han
ma. There are "13" in the company.
Ben Greet day at the chautauqua will
be one Of the red letter days.
Marcus Kellerlnan.
Marcus Kellerman, who will give a
song recital on the afternoon of the
opening day of the Grand Musical
Festival. Is one of Americas leading
dramatic baritones. With a voice
clear, resonant and rich and an enun-
citation practically perfect, he gives a
varied program of selections taken
from the worlds best composers.
Westminster Choir.
The climax Of the first days grand
musical festival will be the Westmin-
ster choir. In combining the splendid
talents Of Misses Helen Boethelt and
Edna Palmer. sopranos; Miss Rose A.
Fallon and Miss Helen Wright, con-
Thomas, bassos, and Messrs. Paul
Smithson and Halberg, tenors, the
Redpath bureau has given the musical
world a singing Octette destined TO
become universally known. Their
repertoire includes short. modern
oratorios by such composers as Buck,

the charge and attack along the
whole line"
Striking a beautiful pose. Mr.
pshaw OF course 1 mean the Hon. -
Maxwell loked around for something
TO charge and attack Not being pro-
vlded with double lens spectacles he
oid not see anything right away so he
grabbed frantically at some more gilt
tering generalities and besOught his
brothers 10 lay aside all petty strifes
and 1ealousies and as patriots perform
the plain duty Of the hour"
Right here the Hon" hit his stride
for he had an inspiration.
Democratic extravaganza; increas-
ed taXation-that was it. What
better battle cry could a spread eagle
orator desire? Before he got through
he was fairly fearful over the sad pass
20 which this glorious state has been
brought and had worked himself up
20 frenzy OF denunciatiOn.
He put an accusative finger square,
~ down on the extravagant democrat
&c administration. firmly pinning it to
earth where he could worry and peck
at il to his hearts content.
But the administration did not wig
gle as much as the Hon" expected.
In one uneasy r,omeEt he fancied that
II even favored him with a derisive
wink. But of course that was absurd
The most fOolhardy of democrats
would know better than to wink at
the Hon" Maxwell.
So with a fine poise he shouted:
Here's your battle cry-weu fight
the democrats this year on a cam
paign platform of wilful extravaganza
and criminal increase in state office
expenditures.
And fellow republicans, don't for
get that increased tax levy" Hon
Maxwell implored. THAT ought TO be
our very best bet"
And with this grand finale the
Hon" bowed low TO the gallery and
took his seat amidst thunderous ap-
plause.
For you see the republicans we're
glad that the Hon" had that inspira-
ton. They had been at their wits
ends for a battle cry
So they grabbed that poor increased
tax levy and rushed form the hall.
and they have worked the poor thing
so hard that il is nearly worn TO shreds
this early in the campaign.
They printed the Hon S" speech
and sent it broadcast-not neglecting
TO include all the red fire and TO sug-
gest the spots where the Hon"
struck a pose and waited for applause.
But let's see what it is all about?
Take, for example, that bugaboo Of
the increased tax levy. Stripped of
all technical terms il amounts to just
this-a man who has 500 of taxable
property pays exactly eight cents in
crease Eight cents is one-twelfth of
one per cent.
Is that so awful when you consider
il calmly-always considering, of
course that this slight increase puts
the state on an Independent financial
basis and provides well for all of our
state educational and charitable insti-
tutiOns?
Next time n stump speaker of the
Hon" MaXwelFs type starts some
thing" along this line in your home
town, why just do a. bit of analyzing
on your own account, you democrats.
There is nothing mysterious about
the tax rate-but the dust those re-
publican orators are going 10 throw in
the eyes of the state this year will
surely blind-if you don't watch out
Maxwell sent up a tremendous howl
about increased expenditures in state
offices. He neglected to say that the
republicans who controlled the state
