preacher, gave scholarly lecture
upon the 'A1atchless Book" He was led
to this special study by the Bibles
literary value merely, but found it of
such priceless value that he wants the
world to discover its worth. Prof.
Frankie surely adds prestige to the
Book OF Books.
What of Ernest J. Sias, the COM
munity Doctor? In the first place he
had a theme, that unfortunately we
must defer hope of 1t becoming un-
timely. There are very few types of
addresses, which by changing the
name of the town, are appropriately
befitting. This was one Of them.
Every town could profitably add accel-
leration to the wheels of the lawn
mower, or systematically hide null
titude of material defects by spread
ing paint However, Mr.. Sias handled
his subject In an attractive and con-
vincing manner. We needed just such
a message. Mr.. Sias' humor, physical
vigor, and apt illustrations gave his
| thoughts striking penetrating power
his message was handed out in mas
saying manner, for he rubbed 1t I'M,
didn't he?
A man accustomed to the music of
the typewriter, linotype, press or wash
ing machine can hardly be expected to-
adequately appreciate much less delin-
cate the complexities of the harmony
produced by Witepskie's Royal Hun
garian Orchestra. All that we know
is that 1t was great Frequently mu-
sic induces sleep, or when in company
talativeness, but this orchestra kept us
wide awake, silent, and all leaning
| forward listening. The Russian ad-
vance into their Fatherland had no sui
len effect upon the members of this
musical group---from Mr.. Witepskie up
to the seeming sober player Of the base
vial. In fact they had the giggles.
Nine. Fay Morvilius made fine i'm
preston. She is an accomplished vo-
calist in every sense. Her graceful
presence and attractive personality
fittingly enhanced her beautiful voice
and made her a real charm.
Elizabeth deBarrie Gill has been
with us before and was again enjoyed.
Her special reading of "War Brides"
brought to our minds European con-
ditionss and produced prolonged SER
ious thinking.
That was a beautiful and helpful
character we saw in Mrs Harriette
Gum Robertson. To get her helpful
words via the Press is of immeasur-
able value, but to directly come under
the influence of a woman of such
lofty humanitarianism and such God
ly aspirations is certainly a unique
, fidelity to life's obligations and advan-
tageS, just where we are was very
helpful.
We undoubtedly all felt a pardon
able pride in being enveloped by SO
much of earths glory as DR.. .Frede-
rick Vining Fisher presented to eye
and ear America Before the World".
The truthful quick glance of the cam
era, with the added glow of the ar
lists hand, together with the cleverly
chosen diction, at once instructive
. graphic, appropriately sublime, and
accurately timed, made this illustra-
ted lecture of special significance
DIR. Fishers afternoon lecture upon
the subject of zone Blood" was var
iously received. A month ago the
scholarly "Americanisms" would have
, been received with enthusiasm, but
changed conditions beclouded the mind
so that the speakers intent Of Impress
ing us with the necessity of the uni
versal spirit, or universal brotherhood
was in measure overlooked.
Victor Murdock's speech was shat
tered as consequence of the Chicago
Conventions, likewise Carranza's ac.
tivities interfered with the appeal OF
DIR. Fisher. However we give the
Ellison-White Chautauqua Managers
the credit of presenting a well balanc
ed program. So with Murdoch as a
strong preparedness man it was wise
that in slight degree at least an op
posite should be found in DR.. Fisher
Well, whatever our individual concep
: tions or pre-conceptions upon the sub
| ject the lecture on "One Blood" was
2 great stimulant to thought and pub
} lie discussion. So whether we are
. pros" or CONS" it did us good
Our own children are always appre
ciated in any public effort. King AR
: thurs Pageant under the direction o1
: Miss Hazel M. Packard, Junior Super
r visor, was thoroughly enjoyed ant
A much credit is due the director.
The unique entertainment by Keku
q ku's Hawaiian Quintet was a fittins
climax to the six days intellectual ane
/ musical treats. The pictures and ac
a companying lecture added sense O
/ reality by transporting us into the ma
: tive cline of the quintet.
1 The people showed special liking fo
:. the singing of Mr.. Villa, the first ten
e or. BY the way, as illustrated above
e unattractive circumstances may maxi
1t wise to change the spelling of ;
| name from ''V' to "W".
$ Mr. Kekuku's mastery guitar worl
4 was easily the paramount interest O
. the day. We have all listened to tha
/ guitar before thru the medium of th
: record, but in ignorance we wondere
r whether 1t was stringed, metallic o
t reed instrument. Disposing of tha
y Ignorance was readily worth one-sixtl
n or $3.50, especially when considerin
the pleasure connected with its exit.
!. Thruout the six days Mr.. Earle {
