THIS YEAR TO Be
BETTER THAN EVER
rFrOm Tuesdays Daily MinerI

was the question a reporter of the
Daily Miner put to C. N. Nickel, WHIT
always takes a prominent part in the
annual chautauqua for this city.
"Fine; just finel" answered Mr.
Nickel. "You know this is to be pa
triotic year on the Homer chautauqua
and the display of American flags and
the community singing of patriotic
songs are to be prominent features
From what information l have re-
ceived the program is to be better
balanced, more brilliant, bigger and
better than even the programs Of the
past"
think of a chautauqua program
presenting Pinafore, with nearly 40
New York folks in the cast" he con-
tnued. Think of the refreshing story
of Little Women being presented on
the chautauqua platform with the
same folks who gave it in New York.
Those two plays ought to be worth the
price Of the season ticket, had they
not? Folks in the big cities have been
paying the price of chautauqua sea
son ticket to see only one of those at
fractions. We got both and II other
big programs in addition. Those two
productions, the musical attractions,
lectures and entertainments form a
program which will attract the largest
crowd the chautauqua ever brought to
this city"
Among the musical attractions this
season will be the Metropolitan Men
Singers, a quartet of merry, musical
men, marvelously equipped to please
the most critical audience with the
best in music. The Althea Players are
SIX, charming, cheerful, cultured girls,
who give an afternoons program and
a prelude in the evening. Then there
are Ellis. Hawaiians, in their program
of unique and unusual music, which
SO many people strongly admire. Har-
rison Keller is one of the worlds best
viOlinists. Stewart Willie is a pianist
of fame and musician who has studi-
ed with the masters. Ruby Norman
and Peggy" Hill will furnish one of
the most delightful programs Of the
week. The chautauqua will be Joy
week for the music lovers.
Ducrot, the magician, will amuse
and astound you with his dexterity
and amazing skill. Give this man a
tOothpick and a napkin and he will put
On a complete show and probably
transform the napkins into roses and
the toothpick into flock of pigeons.
Miss Jane Dillon as interpreter of the
worlds masterpieces in literature will
make the gems of the library more
sparkling than ever before and trans
late the words into living messages
of truth and poetry. Ada Roachl It's
time to smile! She is the original

laugh, for this bundle of sunshine will
put laugh into the city's most con-
hrmed pessimist and chase the shad-
Ows from the face of the sourest of
the sour.
In the lectures a rare treat and a
feast of oratory await the chautauqua
patron. Thomas Brooks Fletcher has
a particular message for the young
man, for the farmer, the laboring man
and the business man. Edward Am
herst OFT talks on "Sour Grapes" on
his first appearance in any city. This
deals with the problem of life and liv-
ing from a biological standpoint.
There is also Lou Beauchamp, the
humorous philosopher; William Rain
ey Bennett, ''The Man Who Cam; and
another lecturer of national reputa-
ton who will be announced later.
~It's time to become enthused over
the chautauqua," commented our in
formant, as he closed the interview.
