!: A Brief Description of a Few Of the Many Attractions Secured For This Year :.
Chicago Male Quartet

The company that pleased everyone so we'll
last year has been secured for this years
Chautauqua. This is an organization design
ed to give the public the very best that can
be obtained in the field of artistic four part
singing. Unlike most male quartets this
organization is composed of singers with long
continued experience in quartet work who
are among the most prominent concert artists
and church soloists in the great musical
center of America. Their appearance upon
the platform again this year with an entire
new program will be appreciated by all.

Kuehn Concert Co.

More and more the CHATEAU
qua audiences are demanding
artists and not amateurs. 1t is
in accordance with settled pol
icy of the Chautauqua Mana
gers Association to present to
their Chautauqua patrons the
very best in music within the
limit Of Chautauqua expendi-
ture that the Kuehn Concert
Co. has been secured. Every
member Of the company is rec
ognized among Chicago mu-
sicians as measuring up to the
highest of artistic standards.

Ferguson's Dixie
Jubilee Concert COMPANY.

There is nothing that appeals so strongly
to the hearts Of all as does those old time
plantation melodies, and more so when they
are sung by the southern colored jubilee
singers. This year we will have with us for
the first time The Dixie Jubilee Concert
Company. For more than twenty years this
company has been ~delighting audiences
throughout the United States and Canada,
and during that time only the highest COM
mendations from the press and public have
been rendered them, and their appearance
upon our Chautauqua platform this year will
be one of those highly entertaining features
you cannot afford to miss.

Miss Nina Lamkin

One of the strongest numbers we have to offer for this
years Chautauqua will be Miss Nina Lamkin, founder of the
Girls and Boys Play Association of America, and who is
queen among the little folks. Her work consists of Organ
lied Play" or play with a purpose. She divides the young
sters into various classes. and in addition gives a series of
round table talk to mothers. Miss Lamkin will be with us
for six days and during that time will give a program with
the children. Her coming will be a boom to many a mother
and one of the strong entertaining features of the Chautau-
qua, and we trust that parents will come with their children
and avail themselves of this golden opportunity.

DEAN PERISHO
Platform Manager

Everyon ne will be pleased to
learn that Dean Perisho. who
acted as Platform Manager Of
the Chautauqua last year, has
been engaged to act in the
same capacity again this year.
Mr.. Perisho is a great thinker,
a gifted speaker with an at
tractive personality. The Dean
will be delighted to greet his
many friends here again this
year, and to make new ones.

Ash Davis, Cartoonist

One Of the most entertaining and instructive numbers
on the Chautauqua program for this season is Ash Davis,
cartoonist, who is a veritable wizard with a crayon. To
those who have never seen a cartoonist or lightning brush
artist at work, this performance will indeed be q revelation.
1t is a true old saying that "a drop Of ink may make mil
lions think Davis shows that a stroke of crayon may
make many see the deteriorating or uplifting influences at
work on the face-the mirror of the soul. Ash Davis has
easily sustained his record as the best artist in his line on
the public platform. This will be a strong number that no
one can afford to miss.

Robert S. Seeds

Bob Seeds who il = noted lecturer and who is to lecture
upon our chautauqua platform this season, is q farmer and
owns one Of the finest farms in Pennsylvania. He was .
plain business man, but the loss Of his health caused him to
sell out and buy q worn out farm. Scientific farming soon
redeemed it until those who knew the farm of old would not
have recognized it. So striking was his success that the
state Of Pennsylvania engaged him to go over the state and
ten other farmers what he had done. Seeds is above all an
orator for the common people, is just q plain, common farm
er, and - such will be remembered long after some of the
more o~ratorical speakers have been forgotten.

Lulu Tyler Gates

A few years ago there were three women on the Ameri-
can platform who were universally conceded to be leaders in
dramatic lines. These three are still engaged in dramatic
work, but two Of them on account of other duties, are sell
dom heard. The other, Mrs. Lulu Tyler Gates, is the only
one Of the three still doing platform work. That her art has
grown and not diminished is evidenced not only by a de-
mand for more engagements than are available, but by the
pleasing comments which follow her work. We have the as
surance that Mrs. Gates will appear on our platform this
YER, and we feel highly elated at being able to secure an
entertainer who ranks so highly in the dramatic world.

The Waldens

The Waldens were on the Chautauqua
program last year but were unable to get
here on account of poor railroad conne
tons. But this season we nave the assur-
ance that they will be here. Mr.. Walden
is considered one of the best magicians on
the road today, and his cleverness in sleight
of hand tricks holds his audiences spell
bound. BY the aid Of a hat brim Mr.. Wal
den is able to present over twenty distinct
characters and changes that are simply
marvellous. Another clever feature is his
ventriloquism, which never fails to please
the younger portions of the audience. The
program to be given by the Waldens will
be divided into three parts. Part one
nnto 90 mute of magic. Part two

P. Marion Silnms

The Rev. P. Marion Simms, Phi. D.. is q scholar, minister,
author, lecturer and man Of affairs. His education was OBJ
tanned in Cumberland University, where he received the de-
gree Of Bachelor Of Arts in 1899; Bachelor Of Divinity in
1902, and Doctor of Philosophy in 1907. The latter was for
work in sociology and political economy. No lecturer ever
came to US with higher recommendations from the press
than does Mr.. Simms, and it is safe to say that his lecture
will be one that will bear fruit in the hearts Of all who hear
him. Many of the daily papers have devoted whole pages to
his work which is sufficient recommendation of his ability.

The Apollo Concert Company

This company has been here twice before
and those who heard them will rejoice tolearn
that they are on the program again this year.
It is one of the two or three best known con-
cert companies upon the American platform
today and are well known everywhere on ac-
count of their band compositions. This is
rare treat to music lovers as nothing better
can be procured to offer in the way of high
class musical entertainment. It is not only
