Incidentally, if the suspicious With
which these nations regard the Japanese
offer Of intervention IN Siberia had any
basis in fact, our own territorial interests
would influence us against the project.
for Siberia is near our own rich possession

Whether these or other considerations
have influenced our government to refuse
the desired permission for a Japanese

The engagement of the Mandel Witepski. Orchestra by the Vawter Chau-
tauqua system assures this community of some splendid music o the closing
day of the Chautauqua. The afternoon prelude and the entire evening will be
given ovr tic this organization.
Mande Wiepskl, organizer and conductor of the orchestra, is a rare COM
binaton of technical wizardry and interpretive genius. His musicianship is
best expressed in the dash and fervid response O his men,
Mr.. Wtepski does not resort to any of the afectatons of some orchestra
leaders. There is nothing freahsh about him; there is none Of the hairwaving
and platform gymnastics INDUCED in by some orchestra leaders. He directs
with a simplicity of movement and a n unaffected mannness that W. fails tic
arouse the admiration and respect of his audience. eH
Remember, this is not a novelty organization. There is n 70 attempt to give
a little bit of everything and to tinker around with a collection of freak insru
ments. The orchestration includes vionns. cello, bass vbl and pano-a small
symphony.
A Wtepski program is made up the best of music, such IS the overtures
to some of the great operas. There will be plenty of music fr the critic and
there will also be som of the old, old pieces-he old home inc folk songs
whose strains carry with them the tenderest of memories and which reneone
the earth with friends of other days.
To hear the Wtepski orchestra is to broaden your musical appreciation
You will find that you do care for the best type of music; you will realize that
good music is the companion of labor; that it brings cheer, comfort and In
SEPARATION.

Miss Bargelt is endowed by nature
with a charming personality and pres
ence. To her native gifts Of platform
ability she added the training of the
Cumnock School of Oratory, from
which she graduated with high hon.
ors. Her repertoire is spicy and In
teresting. She knows the thing to
use for the best entertainment effects.
She is a crayon artist, dashing Off
catchy cartoons in rich colors and spin
ming through them the cleverest kind
of comment and literary accompani-
ment. She is an interpretntive reader
of high grade, and, in the immortal
story Of "Skippy," the crippled news
boy, touches all the strings Of the
human heart.

SEASON IN new YORK

The greatest accomplishment of the
Chautauqua to date is the presentation
of that great American drama, The
Melting Pot, which is booked to appear
on the program here. This master
piece from the brain of Israel Fang
will has c%aptivated the big city the
atergoers and now brings it's wonder
full message Of A~mericanism and pa
triotisln to the Chautauqua circuit.
1t is a drama in four acts, put on at
the Chautauqua just as it is in the big
cities. The scenes are in New York
City. The characters are as follows:
David Quixano, Mendel Quixano, Baron
Reyendal, Quincy Davenport, Jr., Herr
Pappelmeister, Vera Revendal, Frau
Quixano, Kathleen O'Reilly, Settlement
Servant.
These characters are ably and faith
fully represented by actors of known
ability, and the mammoth production
is offered at Chautauqua at prices that
are ridfculously low. In New York
City you would expect to pay 50 to
see this play. If seen at Chautauqua
as n Of the features under the use
of a q ticket, it practically means
that you get all the balance of the
C%haAtauqua program for nothing ut
all.
Readily Understood.
Another fine thing about The Melts
ing Pot is that n does not need to
be acquainted with the literature of
ancient or modern drama to appreciate
this splendid production. Everything
In 1t Ii made clear and Interesting.
Every dramatic situation is made the
most OF. Every humorous possibility
Is used to It's best advantage. The
play has not been changed, but it has
been made to conform to Chautauuua
standards. and 1t will be presented by
actors who are genuine folks and in
accord and sympathy with the people
Of the middle west.
1t Is n Of the most striking plays
produced In recent years. Such a
blending OF aspiration, %visioning, hope
1ulncss and prayer, backgrounded
against realities rs startlingly cruel as
pen or the mind may make them. will
perhaps never be presented again.
Inc play Is produced by n strong
cast. There is not a weak member in
the cast, neither Is there a feeble line
IN the play. 1t is n strong play for
strong actors and no mistakes have
been made In the distribution Of the
parts.

During his first twenty-three days
as district attorney he compelled
thirty-eight persons to plead guilty to
gambling and the illegal sale of
liquor. He later took up the prose-
cution of crooked public officials, and
every n he accused was made to
plead guilty, to pay back stolen public
funds, and take a sentence in the
state ~penitentiary. In one county he
compelled crooked officials to return
$4,000 of stolen funds to the county
treasury.
George A. Carlson is a man YOU
will delight to know. He is "home
folks" the kind of a man you will
enjoy hearing because you know that
he is sincere. His life is typically
American. He has won his battles by
hard work.
From the plain, hard task Of a lum-
berjack to the chief seat in his state
government may be a long stride. But
Carlson took it and his as
well as his great lecture make the
path of progress look simpler and cas-
Ter to all.

of the price of progress than Hon.

The people of this community are going to have a chance to hear 1.-THE
Melting Pot" 1t is coming to Chautauqua and will be one Of the regular fea-
lures of the program this yea.
It is a matter of surprise to many that the Chautauqua can handle a big
production like this. But it is coming and the management assures us that it
will be staged just al it vas played in the big cities.
AS is we'll known, "The Melting Pot" is u drama lin four acts, which por
trays American citizenship in the making, that is, the fuxng and fusng of
the numerous races and~naionalHes that make u p our population.
This is a company of ten players. and the great American drama will be
presented by actors of reputation, who can make the great moral lessons of
the play stand out in all their power.
This is a most opportune time for bringing this great play to the Chautau-
qua platform. This is a year when we Americans should renew our patriotism
and be proud of our country, and cultivate the spirit of true Americanism 10

Every IA and woman appearing in "Ther Melting Pot" is q welknown

cast, you would expect to pay $500 for a seat. The fact that the Chautauoua
is able to deliver the same thing at q very nominal cost speaks volumes for
the Chautauqua management. .~:s"akgsSA
Everybody will enjoy "The Melting Pot" The action is lively and there
is a n abundance of wholesome humor. There is not a dry line in the play.
and the interest of the first act is fully sustained throughout.

Israel ZangwiIrs Immortal Drama
Of American Citizenship to Be
Presented at Chautauqua by
Strong Cast Of Players
The Biggest Thing Ever
Offered in Chautauqua
Reproduced from
New York Thea
tiers.
UNDER THE Big TENT

Israel Zangwi1l's great American
drama, The Melting Pot, is coming to
C%hautauqua. The same big production
that captivated New York and set the
whole country talking is to be staged
under the big brown tent right here at
our very door.
This is another accomplishment for
the Chautauqua boosters, who are see
ing to 1t that the neighborhood shall be
served with the best things and be
made the best possible place to live.
Inc great drama is being brought
within the reach of all. 1t is q gen
ufne American play, full of interest
ana patriotism, and right in line with
the thought and activities Of the times
In which we are living.
The Melting Pot Is one of the worlds
greatest dramas. It is a wonderfully
conceived play. from the fertile brain
of Israel Zangwill. It is the visualiza.
ton, through the actors arts and stage
effects, Of the fusing and fuxing of all
natlonalities into Americans, of a clean
n pure type. 1t is the advance PIG
ture of the hope of democracy on these
shores.
Interesting and. Instructive.
We are oil familiar with the fact
that our American population is made
up of immigrants from every part of
the world. The development of a
purely American spirit from the hearts
of these widely different aliens has ex-
cited the wonder and admiration of
the world. There could be no more
interesting or instructive theme than
Zangwill has adopted for this master
piece. The Melting Pot is America
and Its products Americans.
No more appropriate or fitting time
could possibly be chosen for present
Ing this great drama than this very
year. The theory of the Melting Pot
Is now undergoing the ~severest test in
Its history. The whole. world is look
Ing on, with tense interest, to see how
truly and fully we are fusing the
myriad nationallties that make up our
strange population.
Assuredly this is n time when VIE
Americans should renew our patriot
ism and bend every energy for acquir-
ing a correct understanding of what
we are, and how well we can support
the stress and strain Of war. {.
