The council and various citizens
argued over an hour and half upon
the subject of stands in the streets
at Fridays council meeting, it being
the mayor and chief of police's opin-
ion that stands should not be allowed
on the streets. The general commit
tee in charge of the celebration had
sold several concessions on the
streets under the ordinance recently
passed by the council giving them
that privilege, and raised cain when
the police department got word OF
it and told them nothing doing. In
former years stands have been al
lowed on the streets during celebra-

Band Music Was
Great Feature

This celebration was the most mu-
steal one ever held in this part and,
possibly, in any part of the state out
side of Portland. Bands from Grants
Pass, Central Point, Medford and
Ashland furnished almost continuous
concerts in the park. Even the Ash
land boys band was out in uniform
to regale the people with music. The
music was of the first class, includ-
ing popular, patriotic and classic Sc
ections-enough Of a variety to suit
anybody. On the Fourth all the
bands except the boys band fur
nished music for the Lithia Pageant.
Immediately after the concerts began
in the park and lasted almost all
afternoon and evening. Two bands
diversified things at the roundup. On
the 5th there was music in the pa
rade again, a concert in the Plaza
in the shade of the big tree, concerts
in the park in afternoon and evening,
and music at the roundup. Today
the boys band gave a concert in the
park which pleased everyone. For
beginners they did remarkably we'll
Again there was music all day in the
park and elsewhere. The committee
worked hard to get good music for the
celebration and they were more sue
cessful than even they had dared to
hope. They are certainly to be con-
graduated on securing such music.

Talks With Screen Struck Girls

find some small and, it would seem,
almost chance gesture unfolding the
entire character for us. Sometimes
it appears little more than crook
of the finger, and yet it is far more
expressive than broader and more ap-
parent demonstrations.
A very good example of what /
mean could have been found in David
Warfield's Interpretation of his role
in "The Auctioneer.' The accepted
characteristics of the Hebrew is an
excessively large nose mad eXagger-
ated gesticulations with the hands,
palms outward. There was nothing
of this, however, in Warfield's art.
He portrayed what l believe the
most convincing Jew / ever saw on
the stage, and he did it through the
happy selection of a multitude of lit
tie traits and characteristics that
would have entirely escaped the av-
erage so-called actor.
Practically anyone can catch the
first open notes from a musical in
strument, but it requires the keenly
perceptive ear to recognize all the
over tones and justly estimate their
place in the production of great har-
mony. So, too, it takes true genius
in eye and soul to see behind and
beyond the outwardly obvious and
select the more subtle characteristics
for pictures art.

CHAUTAUQUA BEGINS TOMOR-
ROW.

Today marks the last of the round
up for this year. It was a tremen-
dous success both from an entertain
ment and financial view. No doubt
it will become one of half dozen big
annual events in connection with the
resort development
Tomorrow marks the beginning of
the Chautauqua session. Already
the grove is we'll filled with tents and
the promise is for a grand intellectual
feast for the next twelve days,
Southern Oregon and northern Cali
fornia, for in considering Ashland at
fractions from now forward the view
must be broadened at least to that,
will turn from the sports of physical
prowess to the accomplishments of
mind and the culture of the artistic.
Everybody should attend the Chau-
tauqua this year, not only because
the program is exceptionally high
classed, but because it is one of the
very attractive features in connection
with our development.
The roundup left Ashland full of
ready cash, the sum being variously
estimated from s15O,OOO to $780,
600 in hard dollars. People can now
afford to be generous with Chautau-
qua, in a financial way-they have
the money-and the community will
experience a pronounced intellectual
impetus.
Let's all attend the Chautauqua.

Several ministers and prominent
church members adorned the hard
banches of the city hall through the
three hours of vari-colored arguing
Friday night, apparently expecting
the morals of the city to be attacked
from some source. The attack failed
to materialize, perhaps being scared
out by the superior numbers.

life in the work of uplift, not only
for her people. but any one whom she
could help. After IA talk with her
one could take up his burden with a

it. She knew the full meaning OF
the sorrow songs, bat she got the
optimistic side even out of them, and
lived the overcoming life. Although
she was interested in clubs, she was
verySspiritual woman, and did her
work on the constructive side. A
worker herself, she had no patience
