1916 CAAuIAUQUA.

E&9t T. F. Graham, president OF the Red
path -Vawter -Chautauqua System, was
in the city last week, and while here,
gave out some advance information
on the program which that great Sys-
! TEN, in cooperation with local ctl-
. aazens, will conduct at Manchester, 1a,
this summer, June II to S23 inclusive.
The reputation for big music and
plenty sof It, established by the ssys-
4 TEN, rs to Sc fury maintained. This
I ~ 4 the tenth Fl anniversary OF Keith
Vawter's first Chautauqua experience
and he is determined that every
thing appearing on the program this
season be a time tried and proven
success. The musical features have
been selected with great care and
every precaution has been taken to
insure artistic results throughout.
!. kryI and His Big Band Return.
Because there is no big muslcaI or
ganization superior to Pohumir Kryfs
Band. as a Chautauqua attraction, and
because last season this Band scored
universal success, it was decided to
repeat Kryl over the entire circuit
this season. 1t will be still big
ger band this, year for Kryl has ad-
ttded tO E'hieF regular array or artists.
He has aLo introduced new features
that Will add wonderfully, to- the ef-
fects.
We are to have the Royal Gwent
Welsh Glee Singers, great big
company of fourteen men. Ihese
vocalists come from the land famous
for her singers, and are all that can
be desired in every assortment and
combination of vocal melody from So
los to grand choruses. Nothing like
this has been attempted in Chautau-
qua and the System has scored a
big success in booking the COM
pany for a long summer tour.
There will be seven musical organ
izaticns, as heretofore, one for each
day. The Kellogg-Haines Singing
Party; The Philippines; Ada Roach
and Company; The McGrath Broth
ers, and The Chautauqua Concert
Party, complete the list, and each,
in it's own way, has distinct musi-
cal contribution to the general plan
to outstrip anything heretofore at
tempted in the way Of musical enter
tainment for Chautauqua.
