CHAUTAUQUA A
GREAT SUCCESS
Big Audiences Are Being Delighted
and Splendid Entertainment Is
Winner in Every Way.
Stanford's Chautauqua is a mag


nificent success in every way.
With two days programs having
been completed up to the hour the
IL. went to press today the Woman's
Club has been able to meet every
expense, pay every bill, liquidate the
entire cost of the Chautauqua and
will have money in the treasury when
everything is said and done.
But equally as much as the finan-
cial success of the venture is the sue
cess of the program which is being
offered as delightful entertainments
in every way. The two attractions
so far given have been splendid in
every way. The service of the Aka
hest Bureau could hardly be improv-
ed upon. Cooperating with the
Stanford Woman's Club, which new
er does anything by halves, the Chau-
tauqua patrons have been cared for
and entertained in manner which
leaves little more to be desired.
The large tent on the lot back of
the college building is comfortable,
and commodious. Pretty young la
dy ushers have been provided who
see that everyone secures a good
seat.
DIR. W. j. Mahoney, the platform
manager, starts off each program,
with zest. He knows his business
we'll.
The opening afternoon perform
ance on Wednesday was well attend
ed, mostly by season ticket holders,
which is proving the case for the
afternoons, the big audiences coming
at night.
A crowd which filled every seat in
the large and commodious tent was
present for the first evening per-
Torrance of the Chautauqua. The
The attraction was the Lyceum La
dies Orchestra, and the immense
audience was delighted with the eve
ning's entertainment. A good crowd
had heard the ladies perform in the
afternoon but their real program was
in the evening. All of the members
of this orchestra are real artists and
every number was encored several
times. The program rendered was
as follows:
"Call of America" Mohden.
Overture, Tampa" Herold-Or-
chestra.
Cornet Solo, Jupiter Polka" Gold
man-Miss Keller.
Selection, Down South" Myddle-
ton-Orchestra.
Violin Solo, Hungarian Dance
Violin solo, Hungarian Dance
Miss Eiler.
Baritone Solo "Toreador"- Mr..
Barbour.
Egyptian Ballet" Luigini-Or-
chestra.
Reading, "Cornstalk Fiddle"-
Miss Larcher.
Cello Solo, "Barcarole"- Miss
Beebe.
Baritone Solo, (a) "Exhortation,"
Cook; (b) "Bow Leg Boy" Bergen
Mr.. Barbour.
American Patrol-Orchestra.
Packard, the cartoOnist and all
round artist was the attraction
Thursday and to say he both pleased
and delighted the big audiences
which greeted him is expressing it
mildly. He is star of the first mag
nitude. He kept his audience con-
vulsed with laughter or serious with
the pathos of his remarks, at his
pleasure. Scores declared after the
close of Thursday evenings perform
ance that they have already secured
more than the worth of their whole
seasons ticket. And there are 9th
er good things yet to come.
The Hampton Govt Singers are
here this afternoon, followed by a
lecture by DR.. Mahoney. In the eve
ming the Hampton Court Singers give
their big program.
Saturday afternoon DIR. Mahoney
lectures, and Saturday night one Of
the star features of the Alkahest
program will be given. 1t will be
the lecture by Judge George d. AL
den, of Massachusetts on "The Needs
of the Hour"
Sunday afternoon there will be a
Chautauqua mass meeting and union
services followed by an address by
Judge Alden. There is no charge to
the Sunday afternoon number.
Monday afternoon the Royal
Welsh Male Quartette gives 80 min
utes of music and DR.. Mahoney talks
and that night the Royal Welsh Male
quartette gives its grand concert.
The Chautauqua concludes Tues
day with a short concert by the Bea-
sey Sisters Concert Company in the
afternoon and their grand concert
that night, with Miss Eileen Beatty
as soprano soloist. =
