~CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES

Last Thursday the 1917 ChautauQua
closed with two very good programs
for the day. In the afternoon the Ma
son Jubilee Singers occupied the
whole program, their songs were good
and the Rotations of poems by Paul
Dunbar, thecolored poet, were rem
dered in costume by one Of the male
members of the quintette. The dialect
was good and the portrayal of charac-
ter very fine. In the evening the same
aggregation furnished the prelude and
We're even better in their work than in
the afternoon, having to respond to
several encores. Strickland Gillian, the
humoriSt, was real good, his drawl and
%nonchalant bearing on the stage re-
minding one of Mark Twain in his
earlier days, and hat is about as much
praise as any humorist can ask~for. He
certainly delighted the people and the
underlying strain of philosophy that
pervaded his witicisms made some
very homely truths a sugar coated
dose of good medicine.
Rev. w. A. Mast, on behalf of the au-
dlences that enjoyed the different pro
grams, proposed expressions of thanks
to r. +. Kerr. the local manager, and
to Rev. f. NJ. Warren. the platform
manager. These were both given with
a will and by a rising vote. 1t certain
ly has been the best balanced pro
gram that Bookings has ever had the
pleasure of enjoying. and if we are Civ
en- as good another year. there will DE
people to sign up for tickets in advance
The Holiday Chautauqua Circuit can
count on Brookings giving them good
support, even if we do not seem very
enthusiastic about pledging ourselves
ahead. Mr.. Kerr has been untiring in
his efforts this year to make every
thing run smoothly and these efforts
were crowned with perfect success. He
was ably assisted by John l.. Murphy,
and a small corps of local assistants.
The talent that served us were in every
way commendable. DR.. Sadler being
perhaps the one particular best spot
in the whole program, We want him
again next year. Every one connected
With the Midland Circuit left friends
behind them here in Brookings.

The Russian armies are continuing
their vigorous offensive in Eastern
Galacia and other groups of the en-
pres vast forces are apparently
ready to spring into activity at va
rious points along the 8OO-mile front.
Everything appears to be running

forecasts indicated.
