First Chautduqna
Number Bio Treat

Our chautauqua program will be
opened this season by real male
quartette, beaded by the singer
comedian George B. Tack. This or.
ganization was formerly known as the
National Quartette and in the days
before the war was we'll known in
concert and chau tauqua circles. All
these fellows were in the army and
after their discharge George Tack
gathered them together again for this
chautauqua tour.
This will probably be their last
season on the road as they have made
plans to enter business.
These fellows bring back to the
platform all of their old-time artistry
and joy producing ability. But in
addition they bring the spirit Of the
doughboy, acquired in the camps and
trenches, in rude billets and under
shell fire.
In addition to the male quartette
numbers these versatile fellows offer
instrumental numbers and clever
reading The comedy hit of the pro-
gram is said to be George Tack 9
famous Interpretation of the Quar-
tette from Rigoletto. The boys don
long, flowing whiskers for this num-
Der and the result is said to be one
big scream.
