Miss Baker was on the big New York
and New England Redpath Chautauqua
circuit and the "Elsie Baker, day was
easily the big day of the Chautauqua.
With Miss Baker will be William
Durieux, cellist, and Frank Hauser,
pianist.
The announcement that Bohumir
Kryl and his great Bohemian band will
appear on the Redpath Vawter circuit
again this summer will be pleasing to
most people of the community. AL
though this will be the third success
sive season the request for Kryl's re-
turn was SO insistent and unanimous
over the circuit that it was absolutely
necessary for the management to re-
peat this popular feature.
One of the more novel musical at
fractions which promises to be one Of
the most popular On the entire pro-
gram will be a company of native Ha:
waiians. The popularity Of Hawaiian
music created general request from
Chautauqua patrons for Hawaiian
company. The Royal Hawaiians are
musicians who have refused to sue
cumb to the influence of American Gus
toms on the Islands, preferring to pre-
serve the charm and simplicity of the
native music.
The Schumann Quintet is another
musical organization which should ap-
peal to all lovers Of good music. This
company is headed by Carl Lampert
who for nine years was first violinist
with the celebrated Theodore Thomas
orchestra. Mr.. Lampert believes that
the great classic numbers are enjoyed
by the masses when they are properly
interpreted. Consequently each number
is preluded by short explanation by
Mr.. Lampert. He holds that such mu-
sic tells OF real people, their joys and
their sorrows, their striving for things
worth while and their faith in human
kind. The Schumann concert is pro-
gram for intelligent, plain human be-
ings who want music to mean something
worthy Of human intelligence.
The Royal Dragons, singing band,
was the most popular musical number
on the Redpath Chicago circuit last
summer. This organization will ap-
pear on our program this season and
Mr.. Graham predicts a repetition Of
the success scored last summer.
The Glenn Wells company will pre-
sent a program different from anything
else of the week. Their numbers will
consist of humorous and dramatic
sketches interspersed with vocal and
instrumental selections.
The announcement. however, of the
first western Chautauqua tour Of Kath-
crime Ridgeway and her company, will
probably generate as much real en-
thusiasm as that of any number. Kath-
crime Ridgeway is universally recog-
nized as. the greatest entertainer on
the platform.
John B. Ratio, like Ridgeway, Kryl,
and Elsie Baker, stands at the head of
his respective class. He is an imper-
senator, known to chautauqua and ly-
ceum audiences all over the country.
AS wig and grease paint artist he
has no equal.
Judge Ben B. Lindsey, head of the
Juvenile court Of Denver, and one of
the leaders in the fight for social and
industrial justice, has been secured for
a. lecture. Judge Lindsey has recently
returned from Europe and his new lee
ture, "The Greater Love- was in
spired by his visit to prison camps Of
the warning countries as we'll as by his
many experiences in fighting special
privilege in Colorado. Judge Lindsey
was recently reelected for the thir-
teenth time by the largest majority
ever given a candidate in Denver city
election.
The enga cement Of Governor Frank
B. Willis Of Ohio promises to be a
master stroke for Keith Vawter. Mr..
Graham predicts that Governor Willis
will prove to be one Of the most popu-
lar lecturers of the decade.
"Catch-My-Pal' Patterson, the Irish
Billy Sunday, and originator of the
"Catch- My-Pal' movement, will bring
the Chautauqua a specimen of real
IRISH oratory. A native of Ireland,
graduate of her schools and colleges,
MIR. Patterson is regarded as one Of
her greatest refcrmers and as an ora
tor is classed with Robert Emmett and
Daniel Parnell.
Of special interest to the women of
the community is ne announcement of
the lecture by Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer.
Every housewife has used Mrs. Rorer's
cook book and has read-her articles.
Her books on diet are used in hun
d1eds of hospitals.
AoOPAo WIN O1u uOC agree with Sen.
ator Vardaman in his attitude on the |
