FOR ASSEMBLY
ATTRACTIONS PROMISED WHICH
WILL EQUAL LAST YEARS
CHAUTAUQUR

Harry Dunbar one of the superin-
tendents of the Redpath system,
came in yesterday noon and in the
afternoon held long conference with
the ladies' regarding the coming as
sembly He spoke at length on the
different numbers which are to come,
making it plainly evident that the
program for 1917 is the most elab-
crate the chautauqua movement has
yet brought to Brunswick
The assembly opens on Friday.
April 13, and closes on Friday, the
25th. The management adheres to
last years plan of having no pro,

The attractions are evidently fully
up to the high standard established
here and consistently maintained
The porgram itself presents q some
what different appearance, for the
sake of variety and is the latest de.
velopment in artistic designing and
printing.
One of the new features will be
the community singing every day un
der the direction of trained leader.
The audiences during the week will

through bur national airs. Prof w
L. Tomlins, who had charge OF these
gatherings in Chicago, has been Sc.
cured by the Rc@i 9Th to SELECT and
coach the leaders who will direct
the community singing in Brunswick.
Another departure from former
years and one which has much edu-
cational value, will be the introduc-
tion of moving pictures each night
at the close of the regular program.
The films which are to be. used diff,

usual scenes taken often at great
hazard, like deep sea fights, marine
views thrilling exploration pictures
of unfamiliar animal and Topographic

Perhaps the first attraction on the
regular program to catch the eye is
Creatore's band. Everybody likes mu-

rulse-stirring strains of the uniform

horses, we have never quite lost the
magic thrill which always returns
when we hear the rousing strains of
