THE CHAUTACQUA'S THE
THING FOB THIS WEEK

The Redpath chautauqua program
for this year is one Of unusual mer-
it. Often chautauquas contain one
exceptionally fine number and the
rest Indifferent, but this program IS
so much the opposite that one IS IN
clined to pronounce it numeber all
the way through.
The group of lecturers who are TO
speak here are one Of the strong and
attractive features of the entertain
ment Not only are all the lecturers
men of national prominence but they
are men from the thick OF lfe's hght,
burning with a message out OF theH
own experience. Not mere aprlorl-
theories nor secondhand descriptions
are theirs, but solutions which they
first have proved correct in their own
lives and the shrek OF shrapnel
which sounded in their ears.
Robert Bowman.
The lecturer of Monday night, is
one such. Yale graduate, distinguish
ed orator, eyewitness of the battle
of the Somme, awarded the croix de
guerre for conspicuous bravery at
the battle of Verdun, Mr.. Bowman
comes to US directly from the French
front. With inside information which
has never before been given to tne
public, illustrated by photographs
taken by himself personally, his tax
is replete with interesting, accurate
facts and information.
One thrilling story which he tells
is at the expense of Ford: AS ne
was driving Ford machine Ger
man shell blew off the front wheel.
Attempting to repair the wheel ne
was frustrated by a second smell
which blew off the other front wheel.
Bowman being so locky as to escape
untouched. jacked up the 'front.' OF
the car, hitched it to motor truck
and drove away.
Mr.. FoglenaR.
Is another Of these lecturers, and
one whom no Newberry business man
should fail to hear. AS an authority
on salesmanship he has no equal.
Business colleges throughout all the
eastern part of the North have him
lecture to them, and the head OF the
ingersol watch factory told him that
he had told them facts about their
watch which they had never before
realized.
Harry Fogleman says that We are
all statesmen if we sell nothing more
than our. personality He himself,
has sold s92,50o worth OF locomotives
while the averaging salesman was
selling $4,000 worth, and will tell US
how to make, ourselves expert sales
men. if Of no more than our lnd1vld-
uality. In Jacksonville, Mr.. Fogle-
man promised to read the character
of any of his audience who would
stop to see him after his lecture. so
accurately and instantaneously dla
he do so with the first ones, that
many who came to test him turned
away afraid Of this wizard.
"Mr. Fogleman appears here Tues
dav night OF next week in company
with the Beurah Buck Ladies quar-
tette.'
The Mikado.
One Of the very popular numbers
OF the program is the Mikado.
Very enthusiastic reports are De-
ing received of it's success. Although
staged in a tent it has all the scenes,
lighting effects and orchestral &C
of the most elaborate
onera house. The FLORIDA Metropo-
lis" of Jacksonville Florida writes:
"How such production can De pre-
sented as part of the Chautauqua pro
gram is still somewhat OF a mystery
here, as it is kind OF Offering fof
which seats bring three dollars at
least At 8 theatre" Such was the
popularity of this classic among hsns
operas in Jacksonville that 1t orcuSnt

The role of Ko-ho is taken by Af.
