mite arrangements to this effect were
completed this week when II. A.

brief, as given the Chronicle by Mr..

! There will be five musical organi-
zations, one for each day. These
will be varied in character and are
designed to meet the requirements Of
the people at all grades of musical
understanding. The big number,
which will delight Beach people Is
the Military Concert Band, and press
ing this hard for popular favor will
be Our Old Home Singers.
The Christine Giles company and
Mr.. Ralph Binfham will furnish mus
ic and fun for one day. The Boz
hannans and The Savranoffs complete
the splendid list.
A Big Band.
The Military Concert Band is
brought i'll response to strong de-
mand for big band music. 1t is
said to be by far the peoples fav-
orite. The OH Home Singers, as
one might suppose, will sing the songs
of heart and home: songs that are
held dear in the memories of all.
Their splendid musical numbers will
be bound together by cleverly des-
igned sketch that adds wonderfully
to the effects.
The Parnells are man and wife in
the classiest and cleverest of musical
literary and makeup skits and fam
cies. The Savranoffs are musical
Russians, who display great versa
tllity and present some novel and in
teresting instruments, including the
Balalaika.
The last day comes the Christine
Giles company, and the closing ses-
sion will be a real joy night This
special thriller will be led by Ralph
Bingham himself, who for years has
been given exclusive control Of the
JOY Night festivities of the Interna-
tional Lyceum Association. 1t will
be scream.
Celebrated Grstcrs.
Yutaka Minakuchi, IL celebrated
Japanese scholar and orator, will de-
liver an address. This is the same
Japanese who so distinguished him
self as an orator in the "Men and
Religion Forward Movement" and
other speaking tours. Hon. B. F.
Mcdonald, of Ohio; Stewart l. Long,
and j. Fred Clarke, all standard
Chautauqua orators, are also booked
to appear. The lecturer for the
fourth afternoon has not yet been
selected, but the assurance is given
that it will be someone of national
repute.
AS big entertainment feature we
are to have Ducrot, the magician.
Mr.. Hedges places Ducrot in the first
rank as an exponent of modern mag
ic and says that his tricks are both
mystifying and interesting, the de-
light Of the children and of grown
uDs as well.
A children's specialist will have
charge of the juvenile work FORE
Moons and this will be given special
attention in an effort to surpass all
similar efforts among the children in
the past.

terested: S. R. Morris, president;
