"The story Beautiful" is classic
from the standpoint Of art, oratory
and musical attainments, and yet, be-
cause Of its strong appeal to all
classes who will hear and see it, this
number on the coming assembly de-
serves to be called a popular enter
tainment. Because of its uniQueness
it is difficult to give in a few words
an adequate conception of it,
one Of the most brilliant, powerful
and dramatic speakers, Father Pat
rick ]. MacCorry, of St Mary's Ca
thedral, wichita. Kansas, has woven
thrilling lecture about a series OF
unusual views and reproductions OF
famous paintings. Many Of the paint
ings shown are the master painters of
the world and are hidden far from
the eyes Of the curious. How Faith
er MacCorry secured them is not a
part Of this story, but it may be said
that there are few who could secure
permission to copy them; and the
coloring Of the slides is wonderfully
we'll done. They are as beautiful as
the original and far above any slides
commonly shown.
While the pictures are being shown

If You Do Not Know
Whatthe Chautauqua
Means-.Catch Spirit

Chautauqua belongs to everybody.
Whoever will, let him come and have
the best time of his life. That is the
Chautauqua spirit The Chautauqua
is for the people You are one Of
them, no matter who you are. You
will find a great feast Of good things
on this Chautauqua program that Will
appeal directly to you.
More than passing attention has
been paid to the entertainment fea-
ture. Nothing dry or tedious can be
found on the Chautauqua program II
isn't a campmeetlng, vaudeville
show nor a teachers institute. It is
the sanest, happiest. snappiest week
Of worthwhile entertainment ever
put into the short space Of one week
Have a good time-but don't get
noisy during the programs Remem'
Der, the people want to hear.
Be liberal with your applause.
You'll get more out Of the programs
If you show your appreciation. Don't
go to Chautauqua (or anywhere else)
with that acknowledgement at
titude. It never pays.
Remember Music Day" A truly
remarkable program has been ar
ranged for that day. Music all day

FACTS ABOUT CIRICILLO'S BAND
WHICH APPEARS AT CHAUTAUQUA

Tais is contrary 20 the rule with Ital-
ion players, but this little player saws
he gets the best music OF any from
his horn.
Signor Josef Norm sings the part
OF Manrico in the opera. Il Troyatore.
This is the part which he has been
singing for many years and il is said
by music critics that his rendition Of
the male part Of the "AIiserere" is the
most satisfactory Of any OF the great
tenors.
Cirieillo first became famous when
he organized his boy band There
were thirty-five boys in this band
averaging twelve years Of age and
they PLAYED over seventy-five pieces
without rehearsal
People want good opera but they
are not willing to pay from 81 to s.
per seat to scar it. Five the people
opera at a fair price and they viii
come to hear it. The Chautauqua is
the pioneer in the movement for me-
dium priced opera.
The II Trovatore Grand Opera
Company will render that famous op-
era in three acts in costume at Chau-
tauqua. The members of this sextet
come from Americas greatest opera
companies, Because many Of the
great soloists have been drafted into
army service, the metropolitan opera
companies are not giving concerts,
and the westerners are having an op-
Portunity to hear real opera at the
right price.

California has more chautauquas
this season than it ever had before.
Once tried in a town it is usually
maintained, and new towns are catch
ing the spirit all the time.
The oldest chautauquas in the west
are those at Ashland and oregon City.
The latter serves Portland. They
have been established 20 years.
The only right way to enjoy the
chautauqua is to buy a season ticket
as soon as they are put on sale. Then
some other member of your family
can use it when you cannot go, and
you get all the entertainments for
the price Of few.
Don't forget that the children will
want to see the Floycs, who come to
chautauqua opening day, just as
much as yourselves.
Roland A. Nichols and Nels Dar-
ling are both community boosters.
Business men who hear them will be
glad that their city had a chautau-
qua.
Remember what a hit Ciricllo's
band made last year, He's coming

The children, even the small ones,
will get a lot Of fun out of morning
sessions with the stories and the or
