dent Taft's physical adviser during
his administration in Washington will
give two addresses. One of these will

drcd years" Dr. Barker was one Of
the biggest attractions in 1915 on the
big Redpath Seven-Day Chatauquas
which opened in Jacksonville, Fla, and
closed in Chicago. 1t was not unusual
for 300 people to be gathered about
him at the close of the lecture, asking
questions.
Frank Kryl and his band of nearly
twenty men, will appear in two con-
certs on Band Day Mr. Kryl, di-
rector and soloist on the French horn,
brother of Bohumir Kryl, the cor

ton since, including the recent
Panama Exposition. For years he has
played with the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra.
The Beulah Buck Ladies' Quartet
which has been upon the Lyceum and
Chatauqua platform for seven years
with great success will appear on the
opening day, both afternoon and eve

ladies' Quartets in America today.

selections for band instruments are
played by bands everywhere.
Dr.. George H. Bradford, who looks
so much like William Jennings Bryan
that he is often mistaken for him,
will speak upon timely topic. DR..
Bradford has long been known, not
only as a lecturer, but as chancellor
of the Methodist University of Okla
iona.
Frederick E. Hopkins in his lecture
will specialize on community build
ing problems. For many years Mr..
Hopkins has been a favorite orator
upon the Lyceum and Chatauqua
platform.
First Russian Count in place of
power, Alexander M. Lochwitzsky,
another of the lecturers on this pro-
gram, became a political prisoner and
then an exile to Siberia, where he re-
NAMED fourteen months in solitary
confinement followed by four years at
hard labor. Escaping from Siberia,
he found his way to Japan and thence
to America, where he is now a
naturalized citizen. His lectures are
thrilling and at the same time highly
instructive.
