First Day Attractions.
Bessie Leigh belongs to the new
school of readers. Indeed, h is in a
class of her own-just natural. An
audience never tires as it listens to
this charming little woman, with a
face that mirrors all the clouds and
the sunshine of tragedy and humor.
She has had a long experience before
the public, and prepared under the
best teachers.
Miss Nell Whayne was prima donna
soloist with the METROPOLITAN Grand
Opera quartette which toured the
United States with the famous Liberati
Band. She was one of The ~soloists at
the famous Southern Cotton Palace at
Waco, Texas, during the past season
prior to her long engagement with
Miss Leigh.
Harry S. Robinson has successfully
toured the United States and Canada
in c~hautauqua work. He IS one of the
most artistic and pleasing vioIinists
now before the public. He combines
intellect with artistic temperament,
ID produces a result not often found
on the Chautauqua platform. His vio-
lin, a rare old instrument, is a delight
to all who appreciate and love music.
Frank Burlington Vrooman lectures
on "The New Agriculture" and CAR
mageddon and After" His brother,
Hon. Carl Schurz Vrooman, is the As
sistant Secretary of Agriculture, who
is devoting his energies to help the
farmer. DR.. Vrooman has travelled
far and gathered material with the
intuition Of a bee that sucks sweet
ness from the flowers. He is a stu
dent of current problems, and speaks
with authority. He has had the honor
of being called to deliver a series Of
lectures at Oxford University, Eng
land. He is a graceful and ELOQUENT
speaker, who uses English with the
skill an expert workman handles tools.
His appearance on the Chautauqua
platform is a distinct acquisition. He
gives what the men of this generation
most need, popular information on
great questions of the day, and he
gives it with eloquence and sanity,
assisted by a magnetic personality.
Second Day Attractions.
A Star from the Stage, Charles B..
Hanford, takes his audience into the
classic DIR. mas-the realm of tragedy,
romance and comedy. His record on
the stage ranks him with Ro beson and
Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett. with whom he has played. He
is as much at home in MalvOllo and
Marc Antony as he is with Leonltes
and Iago. Mr. Hanford's breadth OF
experience and strict devotion to his
are, added to a personality which ma
turally lends itself to the Shakespear-
can roles, is an assurance OF great
success on the Chautauqua platform.

Gustaye Milburn is a magician and
his charming wife is his capable as
sistant. Together they make an at
tractive couple who delight the chill
dren and entertain their parents.
Among his, magical novelties are
tricks which puzzle the mind and
cheer the heart. What he says is Of
ten quite as interesting as WAT ne
does. Dexterity. suggestion. mystery
and humor make up a program VIII
irresistible fascination.
