 son tickets assigned at the com
 mencement of the seat sale, have beer bought in advance by local enthu siasts and the unsold portion of seat
 will be on sale at the hall before each performance.
 Since Chautauqua has already ap peared in Juneau it will need littl' introduction. In it's own noted wa. it will again furnish Juneau with ; galaxy of able speakers and musi clans of rare personal charm. Th' speakers have attained internationa fame and the musicians are fresl from a tour of Chautauqua that ha gained a continental wide success But neither the number of their pub lie appearance this season or thei great success has diminished the il resistible simplicity and charm o these artists. The wholesome enter tainment and instruction provided b. the Chautauqua will be of profit t. every one, containing also a specia appeal to children.
 The musical numbers of the pro | grams will be produced by The Ora ven Concert Company, the Chautau | 1ua Artists Trio, and the Serbian Tamburica Orchestra. The Cravel Concert Company is composed entire | ly of members of the same famil. under the leadership of the father
 The four daughters are finished musi clans and the variety and versatil | ty of their talent will delight tn hearts of the lovers of good music Mir. Craven holds high rank as cornetist and violinist and the young est daughter, Miss Norma Craven plays the drums and a half dozel other instruments with consummat'
 execution. This rare family possess | ing talent, youth and beauty shoult not be missed. The Chautauqua Art ists Trio which will also contribute
 much to the entertainment of thu assembly is composed of Miss Norm; Craven, Miss Irene Craven and MT | Joseph Ladesich Their program vii consist of xylophone solos, violin ant piano selections; the Serbian Tambu rica Orchestra will be of great inter est on account of it's sweet music ant the Tamburica which is the nativ' l Serbian musical instrument. Thi | instrument embodies some of thu | best tones of the mandolin, banjo an' the guitar and yet is distinctive iron each of these in many respects. Tn volume and range of music of thes | instruments is astonishing and the.
 have attracted wide attention in Am erica in recent years among the for
 eign instruments brought here.
 Besides the musical value of tn 1 Chautauqua, inspiration and instru6
 ton will be obtained from the lee
 lures of Miss Cumayeh Attiyeh ant
 Captain Wood Briggs of the lon star state Miss Attiyeh is a nativ
 of Syria and her aristocratic famil traces it's lineage back 450 years am l more She comes from a. cuitufe' tfamily richly stored with the earl
 customs and traditions of her people 1 She not only will give her audience | the benefit of these which will soun'
 more like fiction than reality but sh will also make an authoritative pre- sentation of present day condition
 in her homeland Captain Briggs i a humorist and inspirational lecturer and almost plays Dr. JekyH ant Mir. Hyde role during the session. Hf lectures breathing of the southlaT are full of follicking humor and ye are thought provoking His lectur' Playing the Game or Liberty aht Law" is presented with a soldier l force and earnestness and it is har' to believe that Captain Briggs. thu economist, is one that the same per son as Captain Briggs. the humorist. The Chautan1ua will close with grand concert by the Serbian Tambu rica Orchestra. Those who will hay'
