NEWS NOTES FROM
THE CHAUTAUQUA
Brief Mention Of the Plays and
Players Appearing This
Week Under Tent.

The Redpath people are compli-
menting Brookhaven because OF the
"eariy Impressions made by our
pretty little city upon their alighting
from the train at the depot. "It's
an inspiration to our talent to carry
this impression to the rostrum and
we congratulate you upon your en-
Iterprise. That electric sign is worth
great deal as an advertiser" said
Manager Valentine. We have mur-
INJURED thanks for the city-at-large.
Mr.. Ellwood T. Bailey, returned
welfare worker from overseas, who
so eloquently spoke of Americas s
Future Cleaned from Yesterdays
Over There" on Monday evening,
testified to the intense interest
shown in his address, when he said
II was SO inspired by your people
/ couldn't quit" and fell almost
fainting at the close of his speech.
Mr.. Bailey had been gassed in France
and the downpour of rain made the
situation for him difficult indeed as
he bravely and successfully strug-
gled to make himself heard above
the patter of the raindrops on the
roof that came through here and
there and caused additional distur-
bance. Mr.. Bailey's address was
superb.
There was capacity house out at
the opening entertainment of the
Redpath Chautaupua Monday after
noon. The Dunbar Male Quartet and
Bell Ringers entertained. The read
lings were especially enjoyed and
there was regret expressed at the
evening entertainment that at least
one of these was not repeated as
well as Onward Christian Soldiers"
by the bell ringers.
The artist Course" of Whitworth
College, to gether with our excellent
local musicians who represent our
best Conservatives, has helped to
make demand here for music of a
high order and of a class not usually
enjoyed by the smaller towns. The
overture by the Bell Ringers and
solos by Mr.. Musch in the evening
and the comedies were cordially re-
ceived and encored.
Last afternoon and evening the
Lombard entertainers appeared in
sketches from popular operas, given
in costume, in beautiful environment
of Japanese art aided by exquisite
hydrangeas from the home garden of
Mrs. D. Sartin. The Lombards
struck popular chord and were cor
daily received.
I.ast evening Mr.. 0. e. Behymer,
ship, talked about "The Romance Of
Business" when conducted with the
motive of service to ones fellows and
cooperation with competitors and
patrons. 1.-THE customer is always
he's wrong" said the
cultured and eloquent speaker who
really entertained while talking on
what someone prophesied would be a
dry subject" Mr.. Behymer served
well and we hope he'll come again.
Miss Stephens, the story teller, is
the children and i'm
pressing them with lessons" that
will come back to them in later life.
Today the program begins to ad-
vance even over former programs
and each moment at the Chautauqua
is brimming over with diverting en-
tertainment. Miss Henrietta Conrad,
New York Dramatic Soprano, is the
leading artist for this evening, while
tomorrow others will be of marked
interest.

DIR. Hagerman tomorrow night. You
will want to hear him.

nurse will speak and Friday evening
"It Pays to Advertise" delightful
American comedy, will close the sea-
