GOOD CROWDS ATTEND
GLASGOW CHAUTAUQUA
IN SPITE OF BAD WEATHER THE COMMITTEE
HAS MORE THAN MADE GOODI IN
TICKET SALES.

Although Chautauqua week has
been a succession of near claudbursts
and electric storms the excellent pro-
grams at the big tent continue to
draw large crowds.
The Ellison-White people have been
making good their promise of send
ing the best talent ever this year
and the continuous good programs
have delighted Glasgow people. The
committee of local men who have
worked tirelessly to make the 1918
season a success are to be congratu-
lated on their work, and tn. local peo-
pie are glad to learn that they more
than reached their quota for the
tickets sold.
The program opened Sunday with
two sacred concerts by the Apollo
Concert company. Mr.. Adams, the
superintendent and platform manager
of the Chautauqua, with his pep and
pleasing manner was favorite from
the moment he first appeared on the
stage to give his announcements.
The lecturers this week have all
been good and it is hard to select one
for special mention. Mrs. Zehner sure
ly had message and everyone who
heard her was more loyal and pa
triotic citizen after hearing her lee
ture. Dr. Carpenters scientific lee
ture "Worlds in the Making" was
full of good solid facts that everyone
should know. DR.. Carpenter spoke
rapidly and in his effective manner
gave the audience a correct conception
of our own world and it's relation to
the worlds around us.
DR. Elliot A. Boyle in his "Advan-
tage of a Handicap" made it clear
that the most successfuul people are
those who have had to start in life
with some sort of physical or finan-
cial handicap. DR.. Boyl is great
speaker and gives new life and vital
itv to many old time truths.
Everybody was sorry it rained the
afternoon that Miss Elsie Mae Cor
don was on the program. She was
unusually fine in her manner of rem
dition of her character studies and
readings and her audience was great
ly disappointed when the rainstorm
cut short her program.
Henry Warren Poor's war pictures
were fine They gave his audience a
very good idea of life at the front
and many of the pictures were taken
at the risk of the photographers life
, Among the musical numbers the
New York City Marine band with the
!, brilliant soloist. Mary Adel Hays was
of course the best. Despite the rain
large crowd assembled at the tent
and listened to the most enjoyable
. program of the Chautauqua. Miss
Hays was at her best and graciously
responded to encore after encore.
Singing the famous "Song of the
Lark and simpler songs as Coming
Through the Rye" with equal charm.
The band music was most pleasing.
especially the we'll loved "Il Trovator." +"
The Metropolitan Artists and the
Moana Vierra Royal Hawaiian Quar-
tet each gave two good programs Of
vocal and instrumental music.

| the community singing, which proved
, popular among the Glasgow audience.
