worthy and beneficial enterprise. The

FIRST Day
The Hoosier Male Quartet will give
the full afternoon program and pre-
lude at night. This organization has
made one of the greatest successes of
any male quartet in the Lyceum field.
Each member is soloist of more than
ordinary ability, and their ensemble
singing shows careful training and SYM
pathetic blending of voices. They
carry Harmonic Grand Xylophone, and
there will be solos, whistling and
sketches.
DR.. Lucian Edgar Folansbee. man
of the COL Balm type, will lecture at
night. For years he has been on the
platform and recently completed his
l600th lecture under the auspices of a
single bureau. He not only pleases his
audience and touches chords of human
interest, but he arouses new enthusiasm
in the community, in the town, and in
the whole problem of right living.

SECOND DAY
Owing to illness of the members of
the Dunbar's Venetian Serenaders, it
has been necessary for US to secure an
attraction to take their place on our
program for the remaining part of the
circuit. The Community System has
been particularly fortunate in securing
the Chicago Orchestral Quintet, an
excellent organization of three ladies
and two gentleman, presenting in
strumental and vocal music, ensemble
and solo. This company will appear on
the second day of the Chautauqua,
furnishing prelude to lecture by Hans
P. Freeze in the afternoon. and to the
character impersonations by Robert o.
Sheehan Concert Company which was
to have appeared on the second day
J will furnish the entire afternoon pro-
gram and the prelude to the lecture on
the evening of the third day.
In the afternoon Hans P. Freeze will
lecture on the part Mormonism is now
playing in the social and political life of
our country. Mr.. Freeze was born in
Mormonism and his mother was plural
wife, but her hatred of polygamy and
other Mormon practices made her send
her son to Christian school. Mr..
Freeze has lectured on Mormonsm all
over the world. He presents in the
most convincing manner things that are
revelation to every audience that
hears him.
At night Robert o. Bowman, imper-
senator and character portrayalist. will
appear. He has come to be recognized
as one of the foremost exponents of his
art in the Lyceum. Standing on the
platform before the audience, he
changes his appearance by means of
the most ceverly conceived make.ups.
Whether giving humorous portrayal
such as the German stump speaker, or
serious one such as Shylock, Mr.. Bow
man never fails to win his hearers.
THIRD DAY
The full afternoon program and the
prelude at night will be given by the
Theresa Sheenan Concert Co. composed
of Miss Sheehan, reader, Miss Des
Jardins, violirist, and Mr.. Frank Gre
yer, soloist and crayon artist. For
three successive years this company
has gone over the circuits of one of the
western chautauqua systems and they
desire to repeat it again in 1917 Miss
Sheehan is reader of unusual ability.
Many of her numbers, such as 'The
Sinking Of the Titanic" have been
written especially for her and are de-
livered by no other readers on the plat
form.
At night Denton C. Crowl, the "Sam
Jones" man, will give his lecture, "A
Medley of Philosophy, Facts and Fun.
On the death of Sam Jones, Mr.. Crowl
was given the exclusive right to use
his lectures. Mr.. Crowl has taken the
privilege of keeping these messages
alive and up-to-date and while he re-
tains the same vocabulary as Sam
Jones. he handles the problems of now
in the same manner that Sam Jones
would handle them were he alive. In
all the beauty of his imagery, in all the
rugged virility of his lal guage and in
all the homelness of his fun and phil
osophy. Mr.. Crowl makes. Sam Jones
live again. M
