The other day, a travelling salesman.
who makes his home in a town about
the size of Clio, was telling of how the
people of his town regard their Chau-
tauqua. He said that last year some
difficulty was experienced in selling the
tickets and the local committee was
obliged in the end to make up small
deficit. But the entertainment was
grand success. Everyone who attended
has never yet ceased to testify their
pleasure at having done so, with the
result that Chautauqua course was
arranged for again this year and the
tickets are being sold this time with
the most gratifying readiness. Now,
the Clio Chautauqua, as we happen to
know, is to have far better program
than that which was presented in the
travelling mans town last year, there
fore, we hope the people of Clio and
Vicinity, all of whom love good music,
inspiring speaking, and delightful,
clean amusement, will generously and
Loyalty purchase tickets and assist the
local management in the work it is
trying to do for the common interest.
Chautauqua is only little way ahead
now, it will begin one week from next
Saturday, August Ia, with splendid
program, featuring Baldy Strang and
Booth Lowrey.
On Sunday, Mason's Jubilee Singers,
one of the finest troupes of cultured
colored singers in the world. and Col. G.
A. Gearhart, of Buffalo, N. Y, will fur
nish program that possibly will not
be surpassed during the. entire series
and yet will be entirely appropriate to
the occasion.
On the third day, the Arden Drama
Players and Pitt Parker will hold the
boards. The former will present
Shakesperean dramas and the latter
is one of the most famous "Chalk-
takers" in the world.
The fourth day is to be one of the
really big days of Chautauqua, as on
that day we shall have Bland's Famous
Band, Jean Macdonald, reader, and
Ex-United States Senator, VIM. E.
Mason, who will deliver his famous
lecture, Presidents | Have Known. /"
The fifth day, also, is to be notable,
as Harold Martin Kramer. the Bever-
lys, troupe of talented lady musicians
and vaudeville artists. and Reno B.
Welbourn, will furnish the entertain
ment. The latter, like Edison, is a
wizard with electricity and other
modern scientific agencies, and his
lecture is said to be marvellous beyond
description.
The last days program will be as
good as any of the others, better than
some, possibly. The Royal Welsh
Ladies Choir, the director of which,
was decorated by the Queen of Eng
land, will furnish two delightful mus
ical entertainments and Warden j. K.
Codding, of Leavenworth Penitentiary,
will deliver lecture both morning
and evening.
His addresses will be crammed with
philosophy, thrilling personal expert
ences with boys and men, moving ora
tory, high convictions and conclusions.
An occasion for boys, men and mothers.
Don't fail to hear Codding.
The Junior Chautauqua means more
to the children, perhaps, than will the
program proper to their elders. 1t will
be given mainly, on the Chautauqua
Fairgrounds each day. A graduate
playground expert will have charge,
and the real fun, joy and benefit of
play will be illustrated as we'll as advo-
caeed. In the afternoons, following
certain parts of the senior program,
story telling, folk games, songs, camp
fire circles will be directed.
