New York and New England Redpath

of the Chautauqua
With Miss Baker will be William
Durieux, cellist, and Frank Hauser
pianist. Mr.. Durieux ranks with the
best cellists in America, having APP
peared as soloist with such organiza-
ton as the Damrosch and Victor
Herbert orchestra.
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 COM
munity. Although this will be the
third successive season the request
for kryls return was so insistent
and unanimous over the circuit that
it was absolutely necessary for the
management to repeat this popular
feature. Mr.. Kryl recently declared
that changes made during the winter
have resulted in making this years
organization the strongest he has
ever directed.
One of the more novel musical at
fractions which promises to be one
of the most popular on the entire
program will be a company of native
Hawaiians The popularity of Haw-
allan music created general request
from Chautauqua patrons for Haw-
allan company. ]. r. Ellison, who
for a number of years was connected
with the Redpath system and who is
now conducting chautauquas on the
Do h.. II
Vawter to go to Hawaii for the pur-
pose of securing company of gen
uine Hawaiians capable of presenting
Hawiian music at Its best.
The Royal Hawaiians are musicians
who have refused to succumb to the
influence of America customs on the
Islands. preferring to preserve the
charm and simplicity of the native
music. Mr.. Graham declares THAI
chautauqua patrons may be assured
of hearing real Hawaiian music and
not the ragtime. imitation written by
some Chicago composers.
The Schumann Quintet is another
musical organization which should APP
peal to all lovers of good music. This
company is headed by Carl Lampert
who for nine years was first violinist
with the celebrated TheS dore Thomas
lorchestra. Mr.. Lampert believes that
the great classic numbers are enjoyed
| by the masses when they are properly
| interpreted. Consequently each num-
Der is preluded by short explana-
ton by Mr.. Lampert. He holds that
such music tells of real people. their
joys and their sorrows. their striving
for things for things worth while
and their faith in human kind. The
Schumann concert is not high
brow recital but a sensible interpre-
tation of the great composition. 1t
is a program for intelligent. plain
human beings 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 organiZa-
ton will appear on our program this
season and Mr.. Graham predicts a
repetition of the success scored last
summer.
The Glenn Wells company will
present a program different from
anything else of the week. Their
number will consist of humorous and
dramatic sketches interspresed with
vocal and instrumental selections
Four artists and actors of ability
who have been in Chautauqua work
several seasons.

the first western ChautauQua tour
of Katherine Ridgeway and her com
pany. will probably generate as much
rnal Mt n ci 10 that nf N n n.
Der. Katherine Ridgeway is univer-
sally recognized as the greatest en-
tertainer on the platform. For years
she has been the standard by which
all others have been judged and her
appearing on our program is a
guarantee of its quality.
John b. Ratio. like Ridgeway, Kyrl
and Elsie Baker stands at the head OF
his respective class. He is an imper-
senator known to chautauqua and ly-
ceum audience all over the country.
AS a 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 secur-
ed for lecture. Judge Lindsey has
recently returned from Europe and
his new lecture, 1.-The Greater Love"
was inspired by his visit to prison
camps of the warning countries as
well as by his many experiences in
fighting special privileges in Colo
RADIO. Judge Lindsey was recently
reelected for the thirteenth time by
the largest majority ever given a
candidate in Denver city election
And this in spite of the fact that the
machine politicians of both parties
united against him.
The engagement of Governor
Frank b. Willis of Ohio promises to
be master stroke for Keith Vawter

most popular lecturers of the decade
