The Chautauqua this year promises
to be the best that has ever appeared
on a circuit of this kind. Advance
reports state that the program has
never hit harder or pleased better.
The Ellison-White company are
more than pleased with the features
which will be crowded into the six
days. Their advance bulletin, con-
cerning first hand information about
the acts follows:
"The male quartet is making a
smashing hit with their vocal work
and with Newell's tenor solos, but
had forgotten how really fine their
brass quartet work was and how
splendidly Hendry puts over his cor
net solos and humorous readings. It's
worth the price Of a ticket to hear him
give "When the Train Comes In."
'The Fillion Concert Party was we'll
named for they are a Concert Party.
Theirs is that high grade offering
without which no six-day varied pro-
gram would be worthy being called a
Chautauqua. They will not enthuse
the audience as the Military Girls do,
for the really worth while never is as
widely applauded as an offering with
more fun in it. The real musicians
of the community, however, will re-
alize that they have had a treat that
is distinctly worth while.
"The Military Girls are undoubtedly
the life of the six days. l have never
seen, either in Chautauqua circles or
elsewhere, the riotously funny and in
tensely interesting program that they
are delivering. They are good mu-
sicians, too, and between "stunts"
they settled down and splendidly rem
der some popular selection of good
music. All the time these splendid
entertainers are smiling, the most
convincing proof that their work is
not "work" to them, but is really a
splendid pleasure. They get their
pleasure in making each summer
thousands Of good Americans a little
happier for their effort.
"Our Royal Venetian Band is, OF
course, easily the premier attraction
of the week. A very capable assem-
blage of good Italian musicians fea.

you will ever hear. Lotto is a mas
terly director and has remarkable
control over his men. Theirs is a
record attendance everywhere, and
assisted by Miss Hays, who, by the
way, is the best singer we have ever
offered our audiences, they are giving
evenings of real delight.
"Our Yodlers are closing the week
splendidly. Theirs is hard place or
the program as they are compared
with all that has gone before, but ir
many, many places, they are receiving
the first choice of all the votes fol
favorites. Gus Oshcner, who is with
them, has captured all the prizes of.

eight years, and all in Switzerland fol
the four years previously. He is sure
a great yodler.

amazingly with Mellinger who deliv
