who takes the role of Ko-Ko, has
played the part over 1900 times. He
is the most famous Ko-Ko living to-
day. The principal tenor is Arthur
Aldrich, who was the leading man in
De Wolfe Hopper's recent revival of
Gilbert and Sullivan. The two prin-
cipal woman's parts will be sung by
Miss st. Clair of the Aborn Opera Co.,
and Miss Hutcheson, recently of the
Boston Opera Company. Every part
has been assigned to a competent
singer. This production will not only
be one of the most meritorious, but
one of the most enjoyable ever given
by the Redpath.
Another of the radically new fea-
lures of this year will be community
singing each day under the direction
of trained leader. The audiences
during the week will in this way be
given an opportunity to take more
active part in the chautauqua Moth
ing in the musical life of America is
more hopeful or significant than the
movement for community singing now
sweeping over the entire country. In
all the larger cities and in many Of
the smaller ones during the past year,
people have come together in great
numbers to give expression to their
natural love for music. In Chicago last
summer is was inspiring to hear 1000
voices each night for a week on the
Municipal Pier giving vent to their
patriotic feeling through our national
airs. Professor w. L. Tomlins, who
had charge, has been secured by the
Redpath to select and coach the lead
ers who will direct the community
singing at the chautauqua this sum-
mer.
The Mother Goose festival will de-
light the children. Grownups also
will be pleased to meet again these
well remembered characters from the
days of nursery lore, which will come
forth from an especially constructed
Mother Goose" book.
Another day will feature Antonio
Sala, noted Spanish 'cellist, and Wa
tahwaso, an Indian princess prima
donna. Watahwaso appears in In
dian costume, singing Indian songs
and telling Indian legends. She is
young and beautiful. yiyacious, and
gifted with a personality one seldom
meets on the platform. She will
easily prove a sensation.
The lectures of this season will
again bring the usual inspiration and
helpfulness, both to individuals and
communities, so essential to a well
balanced chautauqua week. Everyone
will remember the great Health day
program presented by Dr. Chas. e.
Barker two years ago. This year
Efficiency" will be featured. The
specialist on the subject will be II.
L. Fogelman, of New York City,
known as "Gatling-gun Fogelman,"
because of his ability to speak 300
words minute. Mr.. Fogelman makes
the point that every human being is
salesman, if he sells nothing more
than his personality. In magnetic
way he will explain the laws of sales |
manship, which should interest women
in their homes as much as merchants
in their stores.
Miss Marie Mayer, who played the
part of Mary Magdalene in the Pas
sion Play at Oberammergau in 1910,
the only actor in this world-famous
drama who has ever spoken in Amer
lea. will lecture on the Passion Play.
DR.. George l.. McNutt, widely
known as "the dinner pail man." who
many years ago left a Presbyterian
pulpit in Illinois to study labor con-
comes on this program with
timely and eloquent message. Mr..
McNutt has gained his knowledge in
the laboratory of living men. He has
worked in the shops in the western
camps, and even on the streets.
