The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-06-09
General Chautaupua
Story

A surprising number Of headliners
top a straight list Of red-letter at.
fractions for Logan's Chautauqua this
year. Like a range of SUBMITS, the
musical, oratorical and entertain
ment numbers eliminate in the peak
OF all Chautauqua feature attractions
ever brought west--James Goddard.
Goddard is one Of the great singers
of the present day, and by all odds
the greatest bass-baritone. He was
formerly OF the Covent Garden Opera,
London, and the Royal Opera, Wen
ma. On the last night OF the Chau-
tauqua, Goddard will be heard in the
operate roles in which, during the
Chicago Grand Opera season, he has
starred opposite Julia Claussen, Ger
aldine Farrar and Olive Fremstad.
The deserved prominence given
Goddard does not detract from the
other musical attractions Of the
week, however. for non shine by re-
Elected glory, having brilliant
lustre all their own. Especially is
this true Of the Boston Light Opera
company in Chimes OF Normandie, :"
who give complete, costumed pro-
duction Of Planquett's famous comic
opera exactly as produced for 400
lights at the Follies Dramatiques,
Paris. This Boston company carries
its own orchestra. Then, in their
own field as vocal and instrumental
ensembles, the Davenny Festival and
Smith-Spring- Holmes are unsur-
passed on the stage and concert
platforms.
Balanced against the musical pro-
gram is the lecture staff, particular
ly strong in personnel. DR.. Henry
Smith Williams, known as one of
Americas great physicians, will be
heard in his splendid lecture, add
ing Years to Your Life" Hontaville
Flowers, whose master lecture,
Guarding the Golden Gate" was
voted by more than hundred promi-
nent lecturers to be the greatest
speech of modern times, will deliver
the same at Chautauqua. DR.. Frank
Bohn, just returned from Europe, as
special correspondent of the New
York Times. is one Of the foremost
authorities on social and industrial
problems and one of the most elo-
quent of platform speakers. DR.. Lee
Francis Lybarger. leading American
authority on political economy, and
considered by far the ablest authori-
ty on the tariff, foreign and domestic,
will speak the fifth day of the Chau-
tauqua.
The Ongawa company, Japanese
artists, in the Incompatible musical
fantasy of Japanese life. "Along the
Road to Tokyo" head the list Of the
musical entertainment numbers. The
musical arts quartet run the Onga-
was a close race for quality and va
riety of entertainment.
A gifted dramatic reader is also
to appear at Chautauqua-Annie
Therese Davault, in complete inter-
probation of the Incompatible little
play, Polly Of the Circus"
Chauncey Hawkins, the great ma
turalist, is more than lecturer. He
is an institution of natural history.
His illustrated lecture, Bright Eyes
and wild Hearts Of the Northern
Woods" Is one OF the feature attrac-
tons OF the ChautauQua. @
Then there is the great get-to-
gether community lecture by DR..
Turner, the benevolent but thorough
physician and surgeon of community
ills. .f
Altogether, from Deavies' Royal
Manikins on the first night to the
last. which closes with the notable
concert by James Goddard. no strong
err Chautauqua program was ever
east or west.
