League, Of Chicago, will spend nine
days at ChautauQua in preparation for
the great Peace Pageant to be staged
Monday, July 5th. Besides her work
in training the young people for the
pageant she will give four full pro-
grams. She stands alone among read
ers and interpreters. Her range and
command Of voice are remarkable. en-
abling her to, maintain, with ex-
ceptional adaptation and lightning
changes, the dialogue between char
acters Of the most diverse types. In
her descriptive renderings she reveals
a quality Of tone which cannot be de-
scribed or explained, but which, in it's
own way, goes straight to the heart
Of the listener. It is the soul Of Cora
Mel Patten, and not merely the voice,
that speaks. This subtle quality Of
tone which has no suggestion Of man

ance. She possesses a sympathetic
contralto voice of large volume and
wide range and sings with thoughtful
Interpretation. Her repertoire is ex-
tensive, including selections from the
classics and modern composition but is
especially charming in folk songs and
old-time favorites.
Miss Ethel c.. Olson is an imper-
senator of great natural talents cou-
pied with untiring study and much ex-
perience. She possesses a most win
some personality. Her voice has that
rich magnetic quality that takes pos
session of the audience and infuses
the spirit of the selection into the list

contagious quality that makes every
body laugh with her and feel better for
It. The. selections are very clever i'm

homes, schools and places of business.
She has made feature Of Norwegian
dialect stories and never fails to
bring down the house."

the only one who has been re-engaged
for the coming assembly. That he is
one of the most unique and original
characters on the American platform,
is attested by the fact that he has a.
vast number of return dates. He will
deliver three addresses at the coming
assembly, Bouncing the Blue Sat
urday evening, July 10, Suggestion
in Intellectual and Moral Culture"
Sunday morning, June 18th, and
Three Gods in One" in the after
noon. Each of these addresses is a.
masterpiece. Mr.. Krebs was engaged
for but two addresses but will give
three as result Of correspondence
had with him by Mrs. o. Simenson,
who had heard, through friends in the
east. of his mastery presentation of
Suggestion in Intellectual and Moral
Culture" This lecture will be given
without additional cost and marks Mr.
Krebs' appreciation of the interest
taken by Mrs. simenson in child vel
fare work. The Chautauqua board
are pleased to mention Mrs. Simen-
sons part in this matter and wish to
emphasize the fact that this kind Of
cooperation is of very great service to
the organization. "

THE oLYMPIAN QUARTET

One Of the finest musical organiza'
lions in the whole Northwest is the
Olympian Quartet. The following re-
garding their work is clipped from the
Fargo Forum, Of recent date:
The sacred quartet by Mozart rem
dered by Mrs. Ernest R. Wright, Miss
Jennie Champine, Frank v. Steele and
Henry Houglum, with Mrs. F. M.
Cleveland at the organ, was one OF
the most thoroughly enjoyed selec-
tons Of the program.
One of the biggest numbers OF the
evening was the duet from Wagner's
Flying Dutchman by Mrs. Ernest r.
Wright and Frank v. Steele. This is
one of the most difficult scores Of all
Wagnerian music. It is not only the
first time it has ever been attempted
in Fargo, but possibly one of the rar-
est selections ever attempted by any
concert artists in tHo Trited States.

DIXIE JUBILEE COMPANY

The name Dixie has been associated
with Mr.. Buckner and his company
so long that to adopt 1t for another
company necessarily borrows some OF
the prestige of his attraction. The
name has been taken by new com.
panies and some committees have
taken these new attractions, thinking
that they were securing an old and
established company. There is no law
which can protect company in it's
name, other than law Of courtesy.

TWELVE BRASS BANDS
IN BIG TOURNAMENT

Twelve brass bands have definitely
signified their purpose to be present
at the Chautauqua Band Tournament
Wednesday and Thursday, July 7 and
8. These organizations have all made
special preparation for the event by
long and perseverlng practice and
drill. Many have also purchased new
uniforms for the occasion. It is safe
to say that the patrons of the Chau.
tauqua will do their utmost to mark
their appreciation and show the bands
a good time. A royal welcome and the
kindliest consideration will be extend.
ed by Valley City musicians who are
looking forward to the tournament
with much interest. Three hundred
dollars in prizes will be distributed;
in two sets Of SIS, $50 and $25, in
order that all may have fair chance
in the contest. However the fact
should be noted that the prize money
is the smallest consideration with the
bands whose members look forward
rather to the chance to meet each
other and participate in goods time
together at the Chautauqua Assembly.
Prof. Perfect, who has done much to
make the project feasible, has planned
as one OF the interesting Stunts" to
unite all these musicians in one great
consolidated band, for the rendering of
a limited number of selections. It is
not unlikely that fully two hundred
and fifty players will take part in this
unique feature. A motion picture film
of the bands marching will also be
made. Altogether a great time is
assured. Prof. Perfect says, how
ever, that the tournament this year
will be but beginning, as he knows
personally twenty five organizations
that will be ready to participate next
year. '.E?EMf''H l., sd~"s!4*~!.

WHOSE CHAUTAUQUA?

Our ChautauQua is named the Val

Valley City launched the undertaking
and has backed 1t and boosted IT.,

to do go, it must not be forgotten that
many people, in adjacent territory,
some as far distant as one hundred
miles, have contributed most literally
to the work.
