SPLENDID music IS
BRIGHT FEATURE OF
LOCAL CHAUTAUQUA

Chautauqua programs to be pre-
sented in Dickinson June 1929 in
elusive r filled to overlooking with
splendid attractions, and advance sale
Of tickets indicates that they will be
exceptionally well ~patronized.
Programs to be given contain such
variety of entertainment that there is
certain to be some feature presented
which will please whoever attends.
There is music of the highest class
Hawaiian songs and instrumental Sc
lections, Venetian melody, songs of
Dixie land, and the ballads of long
ago, sacred songs, and everything that
is good in music. Then there are lee
lures and monologues, in both light
vein and more serious; lectures that
instruct and talks that amuse; there
is topnotch comedy drama. All in all,
it is a diversified entertainment for
all the people.
Music to be given is of especially
fine character. The Royal Hawaiian
quintet, the Venetian Trio, The Maids
Of Killarney and the Cathedral Choir
will appear in programs which will
exemplify music in all it's phases.
The Venetian Trio present a story
of Venice in Venetian costumes, sing
plantation melodies with banjo ac-
Compartment, and give a musical
sketch of the days gone by.
A program, inspiring, uplifting, and
beautiful is that given by the Cathe-
dral Choir. This act fills an import
ant part on the Chautauqua bill, and
the opportunity to hear the great
oratorios and splendid hymns inter-
preted by a body of trained singers
of such ability is a are one indeed.
Hawaiian music, with it's haunting,
lifting strains of the tropics, will be
interpreted by the Royal Hawaiians,
five of the foremost native artists.
"Joy Night" Friday.
The last night of the Chautauqua IS
"Joy Night" when the Maids of Kill
larney make their appearance. This
is a singing orchestra, and the pro-
gram presented is one which keeps
the audience enthralled from start to
finish. Physical beauty, natural abil-
ity, and careful training are so blend
ed as to make this portion of the en-
tertainments a topliner.
Adam Bede, "the Humorist of the
House," a national figure, will give his
inspiring address, "The Story of the
Centuries" on Monday evening. Mr..
Bede has won such fame as an orator
that his name is a household word.
Everett Kemp is a master of the
monologue art. He takes his audi
ence on long and wonderful trips
through strange lands, and he ming)es
humor with the more serious side.
He is known as "The Man with the
Million-Dollar Laugh"
Hits Mail Order Houses.
"Loyalty to the Home Town" is
the theme Of C. P. ~Plattenburg. This
is a lecture which appeals to civic
pride, and bristles with facts which
can not be denied. The mail order
houses are hit a terrific jolt in this
address.
George w. Thompson has built up
a unique address, with tragic and
humorous moments in the law courts
of the land as a base. Dramatic
scenes from famous trials are inter-
mingled with the humor Of the coun-
try bench and the %eloquence of the
backwoods lawyer.
The Land of War and Women, Para
quay, is described by DR.. E. A. Brin-
ton, who spent several years in the
South American country, and comes
prepared to interpret the spirit OF
the people. His address is entertain
ing and highly instructive.
Comedy Is Delightful.
"It Pays to ADVERTISE" a delightful:
comedy, is presented by the Boston
Players. 1t makes fun of advertis'
ing, but is one of the best boosters
for the game that was ever presented
Pageant of the year and tourna'
ment by knights and peasants is great
doings for the young folks. 1t is g
beautiful spectacle. which will enter
tain old as we'll as young.
