CHAUTAUQUA AT
WARREN june 2l-26
Fine Program of Lectures and Musical
Numbers to be Giver Here BY
First Class Talent.

The Hon. Frank Il. Willis, former
governor Of Ohio, and one of the fore
most orators in America. will be one
OF the headliners on this summers
Chautauqua program. This announce
ment was made by G.. G.. Collett, man.
ager Of the Vawter circuit, who was
here last week for conference with
the local Chautauqua committee.
A National Figure
Gov. Willis is a national figure and
is considered by many as possible
candidate for the Republican nominal
tion for the Presidency. At the last
national convention of his party he
made the speech nominating Senate
Burton. Chicago newspapers declared
his speech to be the oratorical master
piece OF the entire convention. Gov
Willis is big man physically, as we'll
as mentally. He stands six feet four
inches in height and has one of the
most powerful speaking voices of any
man on the public platform. He will
deliver Il patriotic address on '"The
National Spirit
Program Looks Good
AS usual, Mr.. Collett declares that
this years program will be the best
one ever delivered by the NaWter Sys-
tenn. The management has certainly
assembled a splendid group of talent
folks and the local committee is en-
thuSiaStic over the prospects.
Among other lecturers who will be
here it is probable that the coming of
Gypsy Simon Smith will arouse as
much local interest as any. Mr.. Smith
WIN tell his story From Gypsy Camp
to Pulpit and it is said to be an in
terestiny tale. He was born in a
Gypsy camp i'll the great Epping
forest. near London. His aunt
Patience Smith. was the last Queen of
the Gypsies. She died few years ago
DR.. Hilton Ira Jones has been secur-
ed for lecture and scientific demon
>tration. DR.. Jones is known as one of
the foremost of our American scientists
and has been recognized abroad. His
ability has been recognized by the gov
eminent and he has been hOnOred by
being made Il member Of the Naval
Consulting Board. He carries full
set OF scientific apparatus with which
to demonstrate his address ON The
Scale of the Senses
Man From The Trenches
We will also have an address by a
man from the trenches. No announce
ment is made at this time as to who
the speaker will be. Big events are
happening so rapidly cover there that
a man contracted for at this time
might be clear out of date with his
lecture by Chautauqua time. Disabled
English and American soldiers. news
paper men and publicistS will be in
America this summer and the Chautau-
qua management proposes to wait until
the last possible moment before pick
ing their man, so that his story will be
the latest word.
Native 1ScW zealanlers
Among the more novel and interest
ing and. at the same time Instructive
numbers promises to be the program
presented by the RaweiS. man, wife
and daughter. The RaweiS are natives
OF New Zealand and they appear in
native costumes with scenes Of their
country as a background. These
scenes are changed as the program pro-
crosses. The front and sides of the
platform will be covered with speci-
mems of the hasketry and weaving Sc
the POlyneSians. The New Zealand of
sixty years ago and the New Zealand
of today will I've depicted in story. song
and pictures. The Raweis are highly
educated people and their program has
been presented before the Chicago Art
Institute as we'll as on the programs of
some of Americas greatest Chautauqua
assemblies.
Music Best Ever
The musical features appear to be
the strongest ever presented by the
Vawter System. Among the leading
numbers will be the concerts by the
Schildkret Orchestra. Schildkret was
first induced to come to this country 10y
Mrs. PotterPalmer, during the Chicago
Worlds Fair. He has been here ever
since and is a loyal citizen Of the Re-
public. He has appeared before the
choice musical audiences of the country
and he and his men furnished the
music at the wedding of Alice Roose-
welt
Ralph Dunlar'S famous Royal

fhe Chautauqua program. This is a
singing band. an organization of nine
