Many.

| SlrlclilO banu, ii TrOvatore Grand
opera company, Roland Nichols, Mrs.
Aehner, Col. Balm, Father MacCorry
and the Swiss Yodlers composed a
group of attractions that made it q
real punishment for any person to
miss even one number of the Chau-
tauqua. Add to the above Nels Darling
and Or. w II. Head and Miss Griffith
and the week was well worth while
from every standpoint.
POSSIBLY some one or two numbers
were disappointing, but the person
VINO could not get two and a half dol
lars worth of entertainment out of
any three numbers must be a per-
petual crouch and grumbler. The 9TH
ers might be figured as thrown in for
good measures.
Mrs. Zehner proved delightful sur
prise to many who expected to hear
a rantlng and raving suffragette
speech. Mrs. Zehner is sane and whole
some with big ennobling ideas that
may well copied by many of the peo.
pie OF this city. She can talk and
talk well. To many Mrs. Zehner was
one OF the star attractions of the
course.
Father MacCorry in his interpreta-
uon or THE Story Beautiful" proved
ms right to reputation as a public
speaker. Every person in the big
audience listened with rapt attention
10 ms entire address. loath to lose a
single word that fell from the lips of
one OF the broadest and biggest men of
the Catholic faith.
Nels Darling made them laugh. He
made them mad in spots, but above all
fhpD1 IN IL l.,
nor a public speaker Merely a plain
blunt business man with a gift of saw
ing humor and great big purpose to
save the small town for the future gem
erations. Darling can come back to
Twin Falls and get twice as big a
crowd next time
Cirricillo's band is wonderful mu-
sical organization and it's leader is
probably one of the best leaders in
America today. Every person in the
audience in the afternoon wanted to
hear more music by the band. 1t was
the same in the evening when the
honors were divided with the grand
opera. The programs were altogether
too short
Roland Nichols and Colonel Balm
were both up to the Chautauqua stand
ard and added their quota to the sue
cess of the week.
Probably no one man contributed
more to the success of the Chautauuua
Than did DR.. w. H. Head, who had
'harge OF the morning sessions. Those
attending the first morning never lost
chance to go again if possible. Inter-
pretative readings by Dr. Head lost
me semblance of hard dry literary
and put on the living
breath OF the characters DR.. Head is
without doubt the equal of any per-
son on the Chautauqua circuit for his
versatile style and knowledge of the
amous characters of classic literature.
II was liberal education to hear him.
owing to the fact that morning ses-
'lons were CLOSED over in the pro-
grams and in the advertising Of the
company, DR.. Head did not have the
audience which he deserved. But he
IAN rest assured that should he no
urn next year that the neglect will
De made up in full measure by the au-
licences.
Sunday closed the big week with Ro-
and Nichols and the, Swiss Yodlers
ana these attractions were up such
stellar class that made 1t fitting cli-
max to one of the best weeks Twin
Falls has ever had in its ten years ex-
stence
To stop without word of appreci-
'tion for Mr.. White, the superintend-
mt, would be to ignore the life of the
organization and the man who made
hings run smoothly should be voted
he thanks Of the Twin Falls public.
