IDE LUKE PROGRAM FOR
CHAUTAUQUA WEEK
Redpath Management AnnOun-
ces Excellent List of At
fractions for City

The advertising campaign previous
to this city's fourth summer chautau-
qua will probably commence in the
course oe few days, according to an
made by members of the
local chautauqua committee. The time
of the chautauqua has been changed
to an earlier date than that previously
and will be held the week
of July 81 under the management of
the Redpath Chautauqua bureau of
Chicago.
The program announced by the Red
path bureau is one of the most Won
derful collection of talent that has
ever been placed on a circuit chau-
tauqua program, and has been draw
ing out the largest audiences in the
history Of the chautauqua according
to newspaper critics in the states
where the chautauqua has already
pitched its tent this season.
Julia Claussen, the great musical
climax Of the entire chautauqua pro-
gram, appears on the last night of
the week. Julia Claussen comes from
the land long ago made famous by
Jenny Lind. Her versatility is aapar-
ent when one stops to think that dur
ing the Chicago Grand Opera season
last winter she sang in German, ltal-
ian, and French roles. On her chau-
tauqua tour she will sing a portion of
her program in English. 1t is said
of Julia Claussen that she has never
had an adverse criticism.
A strikingly new note is seen in
this years program in the production
of Percy Mackaye's Sanctuary" a
bird masque and pageant with special
costumes, and with woodland setting
secured through newly invented pro-
cess for throwing pictures directly
on the air without the aid of screen.
Ernest Harold Baynes, well known
naturalist, is to play the part of Shy,
the naturalist, in the masque in the
evening and i'm the afternoon will de-
liver lecture on birds and animals
The White Hussars, 13 in all, sched-
uled for two performances with Alfred
Sweet, director, have developed
high standard in band music and they
also appear as vocal choir of equal
merit. They have appeared in trans
continental tours for several seasons
appeared in all the large cities.
On the third night of the chau
/ tauqua a half hours address will be
given by an authority on the place OF
the drama in community life
Following this the "Parish Players

Zone" which not only interests bu
has a, lesson. A scene from that ole
classic "The School for Scandal" vii

ly, clever and pleasing comedy.
The Weather Wax Bros, voca
and trumpet quartet, who appea
carly in the week, first appeared II
