Chautauqua company.

will be no Sunday program this year.
This will give much needed rest to
performers. In such an event, the
regular program will be prolonged
one day.
The headline attraction this year is
Miss Alice Nelson, Americas fore.
most lyric soprano. Band day is to
be feature as in the past. Frances
co Pallaria and his New York band is
to be here on Chautauqua's fifth day.
The William Owen company is to
give "The Servant in the House" on
the third night. Among the numer-
Gus other attractions, are Montravilla
Wood in wonderful demonstration
of the gyroscope, the ultraviolet ray
and the monorail car, the Maurer
Sisters orchestra, Thomas Brooks
Fletcher, dramatic orator, the Music
Makers, DIR. William A College,
American Girls Sextet, Everett Kemp
