.oPIE REED AND KRYL ARE
CHAUTAUQUA FEATURES

1AAM NAAAN 49,
cooperation with local citizens, viii
conduct at Mexico this umner be-
August %.
The reputation for big music and
plenty of it established by the system,
S to be fully maintained. This is the
tenth anniversary Of Keith Vawterig
first Chautauqua experience and he is
determined that everything appearing
on the program this season be a
tried and proven success. The
mssical features have been selected
with great care and every preeaution
has been taken to insure artistic re-
throughout.
Kryl and His Big Band Return
Because there is no big musical or
g~anization superior to Bohumir Kryfs
Band, as Chautauqua attraction, and
because last season this band scored
universal success, il was decided to re-
peat Kryi over the entire circuit this
season. It will be a still bigger band
this year for Kryl had added to his
regular array Of artists. He has also
introduced new features that will add
wonderfully to the effects.
We are to have the Royal event
Welsh Glee Singers a great big COM
pany of fourteen men. These vocal
lists come from the land famous for
her singers, and are all that can be
desired in every assortment and COM
bination Of vocal melody from solos to
grand choruses. Nothing like this
has been attempted in Chautauqua
and the System has scored q big sue
cess in booking the company for a
long summer tour.
There will be several musical or
ganizations, as heretofore, n for
each day. The Kellog-H aines Sing
ing Party; The Philippines; Ada
Roach and company; The McGrath
Bros, and the Chautauqua Concert
Party, complete the list, and each, in
its own way, has a distinct Eausical
contribution to the general plan 70
outstrip anything heretofore attempt
ed in the way Of musical entertain
ment for C~hautauqua.
