Entertainers in Country 10 he Here

Municipal Building last Friday even
ing, announced in the Independent
Reporter. the attendance was not
large, but those present displayed
much interest in the subject in hand

at that time, but the reyorts re-
ceived indicated that tickets were
selling rapidly. many guarantors
having already sold out their quotas
It was planned to make a thorough

not be secessary.

publicity man for this division of the
circuit Wis present and outlined the
program. lie spoke enthusiastically
of the quality Of the program. and
of the attendance in the towns al
ready visited by the Chautauqua this
year. In the judgment of experience
ed patrons, he said, this seasons pro-
gram is fifty per cent better than
that of 1918.
The present is an after-the-war
Chautauqua, dealing in its keynote
lectures with reconstruction and act
i've opposition to Bolshevism and So
cial unrest These lectures are
those of Captain Perigord, Paul Lee
Ellerbe, DR.. Cadman and Professor
Dennis. and they form a quartet un-
surpassed in the history of the Ameri-
can platform.
Then there are four big musical
numbers, besides preludes not given
in the printed program but thrown
in for good measure. The series Of
morning lectures by one man has
been abandoned, and in its place are
given four Independent entertain
ments, guaranteed to average as good
as those of the afternoon and evening.

paper man, now connected with the
contributing staff of the Youths Com
panion, paid a tribute to John f.
O'Brien, the superintendent in Skow-
hogan last year, saying that Mr.
O'Brien is his neighbor and friend
and ended by promising this commu-
nifty a superintendent of equal calbre
this year in the person of Professor
Robert X. Toaz. superintendent OF
schools at Huntington. l.. l.
