Sio MUSIC FEATURE
OF ELKo cHAuTAUouA

One Of the best features OF the com
ing chautauqua win be the long list Of
musical numbers to be presented dur
ing the week. Six days Of the pro
gram will be featured with music, and
the best artists that can be brought
under contract for summer work.
The Sequoia Male QuArtat Is one of
the most versatile OF the musical at
traction-on the program. These four
male singers present a program of old
home ballads. popular and grand opera
and almost anything an audience may
want. The International operate Co.
appears on one Of the earlier days Of
chautauQua in pleasing program:
while on music day chautauqua pat.
rops are to hear the famous New York
Marine Band in two great concerts.
Bringing this band to the West is one
OF the chautauqua victories of 1916.
Another musical attraction Of as
great importance Is the Kaffir Boy
Choir which has been brought to this
country by Balmer. an African explor-
or. This organization Of real Kaffir
Boys will give the program on the
closing evening Of chautauqua In q
concert that will llnger long in the
memories of those who attend the pro-
grams in the big tent. other musical
attractions for the chautauqua are
Donald Boucher, French tenor. who
will sing In concert with the New York
City Marine Band; The Riner Sisters
and The Skibinsky-Welch Concert Co
The whole array Of musical talent
is far more pretentious than any other
musical program that has ever been
presented on western chautauqua.
