The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1916-06-09

The opening night of the Chautau,
qua yesterday found a large crowd
tertainment everyone seemed to be
greatly pleased with the new director
the program for the evening and the
outlook for this year. There were
many persons who thought that pos
sibly the crowd would not be SO
large this year as in former years,
but judging from the attendance fig
ures, there was very little difference,
there being nearly 700 persons pres
ent last night.
1t is quite generally believed that
the numbers in attendance will be
larger during the remaining days, for
there are some very popular forms
of entertainment yet to be given that
cannot fail to draw large crowds.
The Italian band today will be a
great drawing card, as everyone loves
good band music and good singing.
Then, tomorrow, the lecture of Mon
taville Flowers at night will draw
hundreds OF people who love to hear
a noted lecturer. Mr.. Flowers is not
so well known on the Eastern Cir
cults, as he is on the Western, but
where he is known he is noted as an
orator of wonderful personal magne-
tism, of unusual ability, and one who,
having once been heard, never fails
to draw a larger audience the sec
ond time. Mr.. Flowers will also
preach Sunday night. Then, too,
there are Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Such,
famous musicians, Mr.. Such probably
being the most celebrated violinist in
America, his talent having beeen rec
ognized by the King of England, the
Kaiser, and many other notables of
Europe
The Folk Song Quintet rendered
number of songs in a most delightful
manner. In the afternoon the Sc
lections were largely Interpretation
songs, Russian, Irish, Bohemian, etc,
but in the evening only American
songs were sung. The members of
the quintet, Miss Irma Phillips, con-
tralto; Miss Ruth Doria, soprano;
Mr.. Arthur A. Myers, tenor; Mr..
Warren Brown, basso, and Miss
Ruth Garland, pianist, all possess
pleasing personalities. Miss Gar
lands impersonation of a modern
Woman's Club brought down the
house, as also did her description OF
the feminine attitude toward man,at
the ages of sixteen, when the ques-
ton is who is he.;;" twenty-five,
when it is, What is he?" and at
thirty-five, when it is Where is he?"
The pictures of the parade were
a marked improvement over those of
last year, but at that they put the
electric lights out of commission
and left the tent in darkness for a
half an hour or more.
Ross Crane, painter, sculptor and
humorist, delighted the audience as
he always does. Mr.. Crane, who is
one of the artists on the staff of
Puck. not only displayed his won
derful talent with crayon, but made
his drawings to illustrate every day
life. He divided people into two
classes, strawberries, those who look
upon the bright side of life, who
possess imagination and humor,a land
prunes, those who do not see 1ife's
bright side, who possess no magma
ton, who do not recognize humor,
and whose sympathies lie dormant
The illustrations were really remark
able, reaching a climax when he so
beautifully illustrated Longfellow's
wonderful poem, The Bridge" The-
different phases Of life and sympathy
as shown in the Interpretation were
wonderful-youth, the prime of life,
and old age. Mr.. Cranes work in
clay was equally as good as his cary
ON work. His model of the China
man, of Shakespeare, of the narrow
minded, bigoted, average man, of the
close old woman and of Mark Twain,
were all splendid.
Sunday night Montaville Flowers
will preach, and this will be a great
treat, as Mr.. Flowers is recognized
as gentleman of wonderful ability.
His lectures alone are worth the
price of a season ticket.
