qua this year is put on by the Jones
Chautauqua System, of Perry, Iowa.
There will be two programs daily,
afternoon and evening, and play
ground work for the children each
morning. All programs will be at
the highschool gymnasium.
Following is a brief description Of
part of the talent:
Apollo Male Quartette.-A chau-
tauqua program without a male quar-
tette would be incomplete. For years
the most popular musical organiza-
ton has been a good male quartette.
The Apollo boys meet all require
ments. They not only form a sing
ing quartette but feature a brass
quartette as well. They are coached
by Alfred Williams, which alone in
sures their success.
IL. u.
ity plus the best education the coun-
try affords prepares Prof Durant for
the chautauqua platform. For years
he has been lecturing in the Labor
Temple in New York City on themes
of sociological nature These lee
lures were so well received that he
attracted the attention of chautauqua
managers with a view Of placing him
on their programs. This prominent
man from the East will more than
please you. His lectures are up to
the minute and deal with vital prob
lens now confronting the American
public.
Milton James Sliter.-There are in.
teTpretative readers Of many types
but none excel Mr.. Sitter. He has
the ability to portray each of his
many characters SO naturally that
you forget that you are attending a
recital, and think you are in the
presence of the actors themselves.
He has chosen 1.-The Devils Disciple
for his 1917 season. 1t is a play Of
strong character, tense drama and
good moral tome. 1t requires mas
ter to interpret and Mr.. Sitter is
equal to the task.
The Ruby Mcintyre Concert Com
pany-This company composed OF
Miss Ruby Mcintyre, soprano and
pianist, and Miss Orpha Dunnivan,
violinist, saxophonist and pianist will
present a pleasing program. This
company is not one of the kind Sc
lected for versatility alone. Each
feature of their program is given
by an artist in an artistic way.
Bland's Five Melody Kings.-H. l.
Bland is so well known the country
over as a producer, that any com
pany bearing his name carries the
trademark of success. Bland's com
panies always make good. Therefor,
you may expect a real treat wher
the Melody Kings" appear.
Nicolas Old Colonial Orchcs rs
Band-One organization especial!
adapted to- meet the needs CT 6
chautauqua audience. Each man i:
an artist and both their solo an6
ensemble work is of the highes
character. Their old colonial cos
tunes add particular charm to theil
appearance. AS director Mr.. Mic
ola has no superiors and few equals
He has played solo cornet in some o
the worlds greatest bands and a
present is instructor of wind instru
ments in the University of Soutl
Dakota. His programs are Away
sure to please.
Hon. Thos. McClary-No lecture
is better known to American audi
ences nor is any more generally rS
spected or deeply admired. For neal
ly half century he has toured from
east to west and from north t
south. His name is househol
word and he has done as much
not more, to make the lecture pop
ular than any other man alive.
The Swiss Alpine YOdlers-AmOn
all the various musical attraction
