need to act quickly for no Chautauqua

tauqua opens on Monday. BY buying

Coit-Alber furnished the program
and the equipment. That is a guaran-
tee of the best, and every season at
least one attraction has been of such
cost that 1t could not be heard in the
cities for less than $500 a seat. This
years program is no exception to the
rule, and the presentation of George
NJ. Cohan's "Seven Keys to Baldpate"
with Pervival Vivian in the leading
role is the greatest play undertaking
in Chautauqua history; just as the
presenting of the San Carlo Grand
Opera Company was, and still stands
as the greatest musical undertaking
in Chautauqua history:
Great Lecture STAFF
Coit-Alber has never presented
finer array of lecturers with absorbing
and entertaining subjects. There is
Frank Bohn, who returns, because ev-
cry community asked that he be re-
turned, coming again direct from Eu
rope where he recently visited France.
Switzerland, Italy, Spain and England.
This summer his subject is "Revolu-
tionary Europe, and is proving Of
even greater interest than his lecture
Of last summer.
DR.. James L. Gordon, one of Amer
icas great pulpit orators, comes from
Washington, D. c., with his popular
lecture, Grace, Grit and Green
backs; DR.. Cecile Griel brings mes
sage on the Americanization of for
eign-born women, an interesting and
important lecture. Lieut.. Jean A. Pr
card, of the Heroic French Army
comes direct from Paris with an alb
sorbingly interesting address on the
problems that confront his country
now in the reconstruction period. He
will answer all questions and the au-
dience will be given an opportunity
at the close of his lecture to ask about
what they are most interested in.
We are informed that Frank Branch
Riley, of Portland, Oregon, is the most
unique and interesting speaker ever
placed on Chautauqua program. He
brings wonderful fine lecture, illus
trated, that he calls, THE Information
al Northwest"
Mrs. Beyea, famous Red Cross nurse,
who saw service overseas, brings a
message about health of the hon e
town, while DR.. Jas. A. Myers, colore 4
orator speaks on Educating the Nc
gro,'. Two Of the outstanding figures
on the program are Judge Ben +.
Lindsey, of Denver Juvenile Court,
known in every civilized land of Il z
world for his great work for the chill
dren; and the man whom Col. Thee
dore Roosevelt characterized as I'll e
greatest orator that has come out Of
the war;" Signaller Tom Skeyhill, OF
Australia. Both will attract great au-
diences.
Excellent Variety Of Music
Never has our Chautauqua pre-
scented finer array of music, each at
traction wholly different from every
other attraction. Opening with the
Old Home Singers, who give unique
melodiious program or vocal music,
and closing with the Famous Fisk

to be the finest program of Jubilee
songs and negro spirituals that has
