ELSIE BAKER FEATURE
At 1917 CHAUIAUQUA

Elsie Baker, one of the worlds
greatset contraltos, and Katherine
Ridgeway. recognized as the greatest
entertiner on the public platform. will
be among the feature attractions on
our Chautauqua this summer, August
20 to 26.
This welcome announcement was
made by T. F. Graham, field manager
for the Redpath Vawter System, who
was here Thursday for the purpose Of
making some preliminary arrange
ments for the summer event. Mr..
Graham is enthusiastic over the pro-
gram offered this year, declaring 1t
to be the finest array of talent ever
presented by the Redpath Vawter
people.
| The concert by the Elsie Baker Com
pany should be a cardinal event for
the musical people of this territory.
it is probable that Miss Baker has
made more records for the Victor COM
pany than any other individual artist
and her voice is heard daily in all
quarters of the globe.
With Miss Baker will be William
Durieux, cellist, and Frank Hauser,
pianist. Mr.. Durieux ranks with the
best cellists in America, having ap-
peared as soloist with such organiza-
tions as the Damrosch and Victor Her.
bert orchestras.
The announcement that Bohumir
Kryl and his great Bohemian band
will appear on the Redpath Vawter
circuit again this summer will be
pleasing to most people of the COM
munity.
One of the more novel musical at
fractions which promises to be one of
the most popular on the entire pro-
gram will be company of native
Hawaiians.
The Royal Hawaiians are musicians
who have refused to succumb to the
influence of American customs on the
Islands, preserving to preserve the
charm and simplicity of the native
music. Mr.. Graham declares that
chautauqua patrons may be assured Of
hearing real Hawaiian music and not
the ragtime limitations written by
some Chicago composers.
The Schumann Quintet is another
musical organization which should
appeal to all good music lovers. This
company is headed by Carl Lampert
who for nine years was first violinist

Lieutenant General Bridges, a men,
Der Of the British commission, said
here today that the British democracy

war.
1t was just a part Of the nation, the
more patriotic part, that went under
the volunteer plan to war first. II
was not the whole nation at war, and
when the nation as n whole went tc
war, the losses that England had suf-
fered because it had permitted the
more patriotic to carry the war along
first, have been hard to repair. Eng,
