MISS LA VERNE SAYS SHE HAS

Miss La Verne stated last night that
she had been forced to make the origi-
nal reductions on account of the de-
preston attendant upon the war, but
she declared with considerable ear
nest1ess that so much complaint had
been made OF both Miss Fitzpatrick'a
work and MIR. Crosbys, and that their
performances had been SO unsatisfac-
tory. that she had come to the conclu-
sion that she could replace either one
of them for half tho salary paid for
their services. Every stage manager
she has had, Miss La Verne stated, has
objected to Miss 1Titzpntrick's work.
while she has herself stood her friend.
AS TO Miss Blnkeney, Miss La Verne
asserted that she was fully complying
with the contract under which she was
engaged, which was somewhat COM
plicated by an earlier contract entered
into when Miss La Verne headed a
stock company In Atlanta.

WILLIAM FARNUM IS
PRESENTED IN "REDEMP-
TON OF DAVID CoRSON'

Few stories so quickly and COM
pietely reach the heart as Charles Fred
eric Goss' noted tale of a mans temp
tations, transgressions and regenera-
ton. 1.-THE Redemption of David Cor
son. Few actors on the American
stage could depict the character with
such faithfulness and realism as Will
liam Farnum. And few there will be
who will not recognize the impressive
ness and general beauty of this latest
production of the Famous Players.
1.-THE Redemption OF David Corson''
is a tense drama of a mans desperate
struggle with himself, and his final
triumph. 1t is a story that typifies the
everlasting conflict between the human
and divine. It is a pictorial inspira-
tionH-a drama with a conscience. VIII
liam Farnum attains a distinct his
trfonic triumph in this role. Frequent
ly in the course of the story he forces
the warm tears and the sympathetic
heart-throb by his forceful protrayal
OF the Quaker who is tempted. who
falls, and who later rises, finding In
the ashes of despairing hope a flicker
ing spark Of his old-time faith
throughout. the story is vitality impress
sive. with just enough spiritual beauty
to inspire as we'll as interest.
Supported by a notable cast, includ-
ing Constance Molineaux, Robert Brod
erick, Hal Clarendon, Helen Aubrey

In recent years. DIR. Seasholes of
Philadelphia, who has been on nearly
all the big Chautauqua programs in
this country, will be one OF the lee
turers. One of the most unique fea-
lures of the program will be the lee
ture given by Frederick r. Wedge, THE
fighting parson." Wedge was at one
time one OF the country's noted welter-
weight prize fighters. He fought go
successful ring battles. and then love
for worthwhile girl led him upward
through a college course to fight other
and nobler battles. He lectures on
why Quit Fighting" Peter Mac
Queen, the explorer and author, will
also be one of the lecturers. Mac
Queen was in Africa before Colonel
Roosevelt went into the wilds. He has
seen all of the world and his articles
appearing frequently in the best mag
azines in America are read by hun
dreds Of thousands each month.
One of the exceptionally good things
will be the appearance of Mrs. William
Calvin Chiffon, monodramist known
from coast to coast for her art. The
Dunbar singing orchestra will also be
with us. This organization lis accom-
panied by Mrs. Dunbar herself and Is
probably the best that the Dunbars
have ever been able to get together.
No less interesting will be the Lyric
Glee club, a quartet of men who have
been together for several years and
who were honored twice by the gov

Francis Ives Hendry, humorist and

ton with the Elwynn trio. a notable
company.
There are many others who will be
mentioned later, among whom will be
an able morning hour lecturer. There
will be provision for the children all
during Chautauqua week, the Seton
Indian games and instruction being a
distinct feature that will prove of
marked interest. Miss Hoover, SO ex-
ceedingly popular on the program last
year, has been secured for the domes-
tic science department. She will pre-
sent several new features this year.
1t was voted by the Chautauqua audi
ence last year to request the board OF
management to secure her again for
this year. which speaks highly of her
excellent work.

CIRCUS RUNNING AN
EXACT|NC BUSINESS

did you ever take into considera-
tion," said the presenter of bald facts
for the Sells-F1oto circus. which Is
on the way here, that the best way
in the world to assure yourself that
your community is prosperous is to see
the announc sm ent of a circus? No?
But it's the truth just the same. And
here's he reason.
Maybe you may not know 1t, but
the running of big circus is the most
exact business science there Is There
is only one place that has more statis-
tics and figures on the various fea-
lures of the country's prosperity than
the experts OF a circus, and that Is the
census bureau. Our men know where
the money is best, where the prospects
are best, and where the people should
have the brightest outlook on life.
There can't be any foolishness in the
routing of circus. you know. Our
expenses run more than $1,000 day
and should the circus strike a terri
tory that was in the midst of poverty
well, 1t would cost a fortune.
Therefore, in the months before the
circus leaves its winter quarters, the
experts are busy with figures, with
crop reports and every other kind Of a
report possible. And when they pick
a town in which to show 1t practically
means that this town is mark ed high
in the prosperity list.
so. II there has been the least wor-
riment about q lack Of prosperity-and
of course there hasn't-just dismiss It
When you see the flaring announce
ments of the biggest circus in the
world 1t means that the circus has
looked into things, the circus has In
vestigated and the circus has decided
in favor of the city as place where
there is plenty of money.
And. speaking Of the Sells Flotc
show, 1t will arrive here June for an
afternoon and night engagement A
street parade will be given. of course
and that parade will give q fair ides
of the wonders to be seen under the
great canvas out at the show grounds
Also that parade, as an honor to THU
city, will be led by Buffalo Bill him.
