The Dunbar Male Quartet and
Bell Ringers will be the attraction
on the opening afternoon. For
many years Dunbar Quartet and
Bell Ringers company was one of
the most popuar of Chautauqua and
Lyceum organizations. The present
company was organized by Ralph
Dunbar of the original Bell Ringers
and is most worthy to bear the Dun
bar name. The members of the Dun
bars appear in solos, quartets and
readings and carry $50 hand bells
upon which are played some of the
best overtures and solo numbers. In
order to secure an especially high
quality of talent the singers have
all been given a four-year contract.
The Dunbars will give a prelude at
night.

Yesterdays over There " will be
the subject of the opening night lee
ture by Elwood T. Bailey. Mr..

of our soldiers both in the fighting
zones and in our camps. In his
lecture he tells the story of the re-
turn of the American soldier to his
country, the readjustment of the
soldier and the problems which con-
front each and all today.
Extraordinary costumes, some of
them imported from Japan, Chinese
chimes, something never used on the
Chautauqua platform before; a re-
markable one-stringed cello and a
gypsy camp fire setting are a few
novelties which make unique and
compelling the program of the Lom-
