Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-05-22

The big crowd that filled the Chau-
tauqua tent last night went away
wondering how Harry L. Fogleman
managed to do it, And today they are
still discussing on the streets the
marvellous rapidity with which this
Il4oted lecturer on business principles
poured out his avalanche of ideas,
every one of which bristled with prac-
tical common sense.
Calling Gun is undoubtedly a most
fitting name for this human roman
candle of ideas. For an hour and a
quarter he talked on the cardinal
principles of business building, stress
ing the necessity for individual fit
ness in the composite structure of the
successful institution. His hearers
sat amazed at the rapid fire of thoughts
which were poured upon them as
from d vocal Niagara and the only
difficulty was to assimilate what was
heard
One well known business man said,
Every one of my clerks was in the
audience and l wouldn't have had them
miss Foglemans address for any
thing"
The Beulah Buck Ladies Quartet
which appeared in concert yesterday
afternoon and again last night in a
brief musical sketch entitled, Then
and Now" drew much applause on
both occasions, their numbers being
well rendered and artistically staged.
Tonight will illustrate the workings
Ct Chautauqua in a peculiar way,
bringing as it does a musical attrac
ton which would not be available here
except for Chautauqua The artists
are of international repute and among
the highest paid singers on the Amer
lean concert platform. They have
Tade more than 200 phonograph rec
ords for the Victor, Columbia and Edi-
son companies, and tonights concert
will permit comparison of these with
the original delivered in person by the
artists Elsewhere the reception ac-
corded these artists has amounted to-
an ovation. The Winston-S Salem, n. c.
Journal Of the '4th inst. says; The
concert by the Orotario Artists last
night was one of the most enjoyable
events in the history of this
city" The Daily Piedmont, of Green
vile, S. c.. of Monday, the 14th inst
says: There was unbounded en-
thusiasm all through the program, but
when Reed Miller, the famous South
Carolina tenor, took the stage, the ap-
plause grew into a tumult which did
not subside until he had sung four
times and made two speeches. AS long
as Chautauqua brings that kind OF
talent, it combines the worth of mu
sic festival with popular course OF
and entertainment, and fills
the place of both"
Wednesdays program is so full. il
creates the impression that the Red
path has booked more talent for the
day than there is time to hear it, Miss
Marie Mayer, the woman who played
the part of Mary Magdalene and the
greatest in most novel religious fes-
tfyal of Christendom, the Passion Play
of Oberammergau, Bavaria, tells OF her
part in it. Miss Mayer speaks in the
afternoon. instead of the evening as
the first programs announced. Watah-
waso, the American Indian princess
is creating a sensation all along the
Chautauqua system by the excellence
of her singing, the charm of her per-
sonality and the fascination of her In
