er for the Vawter Chautauqua
System was in town last Friday
evening for the purpose of com
p]eting arrangements with the
local Chautauqua committee for
this summers event. Dates were
discussed and settled upon and the
program was offered for inspection
Indications are that we will have
a splendid list Of attractions. Mr..
Hedges declares that this years
program is the strongest ever pre-
scented by the Vawter people on the
tivc-day circuit.
Good Music Assured
The musical numbers appear es-
pecially attractive in that the pro-
gram seems to have been built
with the idea Of having at least
cne number to meet the particular
musical fancy Of every class Of
music lovers.
AS an opening day company the
Marylands have been secured.
This is an organization of five
headed by Charles Frink, one Of
the few really great banjoists
AS a novelty musical number the
Royal Hawaiian Quintet will prob
ably prove to be one of the most
popular attractions on the pro-
gram. Native Hawaiians playing
and singing the real native airs
which have become so extremely
popular within the last year or two
contiasted with these numbers
will be the Cathedral Choir, a
double quartet with accompanies,
dressed in the formal cath edral
vestments and singing the gems
Iof sacred musical literature. Num-
bers from the great oratorios will
be interspersed with some of the
stately old hymns Of the church.
The last night of Chautauqua will
mark the appearance Of the Music
al Guardsmen, a singing band.
Young fellows, dressed in natty
military uniforms, who put dash
and spirit into their program. A
glee club of trained voices, an or
chestra and band with soloists.
This organization is prepared to
present a varied and versatile
program.
Dramatic Company
One feature which is somewhat
of an innovation to the Chautau-
qua circuit will be the presenta-
ton of a modern drama by the
University Players. This is a
dramatic company Of real artists,
organized especially for Chautau-
qua work by Harry Raymond
Pierce, of the Boston Lyccum
School. Several successful sea,
sons on the chautauqua and ly-
ceum platform have resulted IN
fattering comments and secured
for them the endorsement of puI.
: pit and school.
Speakers of Note
\ The entertainment features
however, have not been played ul
at the expense Of the lecture:
which, after all, comprise the rea
backbone Of the Chautauqu'
movement.
Five lecturers Of proven ability
have been secured and their sub
| jects deal with problems whicl
vitality concern our national life
| Judge Manford Schoonover, O.
! Kansas, has long been identified
with the public life of that pro
gressive state. His address on tn
"Unseen Forces' has been SEIZED
uled for the first night Of Chau
tauqua. This insures good star
for the weeks festival.
Clarence Locke Miller, Of Ohio
has been featured .on the Redpatl
lyceum course Of the past yea
and is regarded as one Of the mos
brilliant dramatic orators OF tn
platform. His lecture on 'Th
Democracy Of Achievement.
should be one of the "high spots
Of Chatauqua.
One Of the most unique charac
ters in public life will be presente.
