Many Buying Season Tickets For
A Whole Week Of High Class
Entertainment.

that the chautauqua this year Will
prove decided success from all
standpoints. Season ticket sales
are proving satisfactory and with
good weather, the big brown tent
will prove a mecca for all this
section next week.
The program opens Monday at
ternoon with the Orchestral Sex
tette giving the first entertain
ment. This is said to be one of
the best musical organizations on
tour, and their solos as well as
chorus work are said to delight
all who hear them.
In the evening, Miss Ada Ward,
of London, England, will lecture
on Getting Together" Miss
Ward was one of the few women
chosen out of all England to en-
tertain the Tommies at the west
ern front. Her message is thrill
ing.
Capt. Garman, who will Be the
superintendent in charge of the
chautauqua, will arrive today.
Back from the war hospitals of
Europe MissFlorenceBullard who
was awarded the Croix de Guerre-
with two stars for "imperturable
bravery under fire." will be here
Tuesday in the public health and
community welfare campaign.
Miss Bullard comes with the
sanction of the American Red
Cross and her lecture offers spe-
cifc answer to the question of
what the Red Cross is going to do
in time of peace. Her appearance
is in line with new policy of the
American Red Cross. This policy
includes such vital questions as
the public health nurse, home hy-
giene, home care of the sick and
home cooking.
Miss Bullard, who is graduate
of Mayo Brothers Training
School, Rochester, Mimi, went to
Europe year before America en-
tered the war and was with the
French army. She comes to the
platform, with a wonderful back
ground Of experience gained in
her work overseas. She brings
her audience the lessons she
learned in the great base hospitals
in France and of the evacuation
station of Chateau Thierry and
Argonne.
With regard to the appearace
of such speakers as Miss Bullard
on the Chautauqua platform, the
director of the Speakers bureau
of the American Red Cross, says !:
"They have been brought into
contact with hospital service in
the care of the wounded and the
NAMED, but many Of them have
come into contact with the refu-
gees, the sick, the famished and
the tubercular-all sorts and
kinds of malnutrition and starva-
ton. 1t seemed a pity that such
peculiar ability as they bring
should be allowed to subside at
once into ordinary channels of
routine nursing. Actively, ma
terially they would be the ideal
proclaimers of new public health
gospel, their theories re-enforced
tremendous actuality of their war
training"
The Great Lakes String Quartet,
which accompanied President Will
son on two transatlantic voyages on
the U. S. S. George Washington,
an which appears on the third of the
Chautauqua is really notable
organization.
Following are comments from two
well known newspaper which will
give good idea of these talented
artists:
"Their playing is positive de!
light for their music reaches out and
Immediately holds one thoroughly
interested and absorbed, forgetful to
all else but the melodies and the
wonderful tone effects. They could
easily draw the same hearers and adj
ditional admirers were they to appear
again the very next day in a pro-
gran" Jacksonville Fla. Metropolis
"The Quartet is composed of Her
man Felber, first violin; Carl Fas-
shauer, second violin; Robert Dolejsi,
viola; and Walter Brauer, cello. The
peri i~rmance they gave last night,
especially of SO elusive and delicate
a work as the Debussy quartet, be-
speaks earnest preparation, sincere
study and attentive rehearsing. The
tonal balance is excellent, the color
agreeaby varied and the technical
efficiency Of the highest order. In q
quartet of the demands placed by
Debussy, the mettle Of an ensemble
organization can best be asceltained|
and to the credit Of the visitors, be
It said that their accomplishment was
notable one. There was a sensi-
tiveness in the playing which was Of
the highest artistic sense. ~ Cincjn-
