Splendid List Of Attractions. for the
Scotland Cbautauqua,

Splendid music and strong lectures
will again feature the program of the
Vawter Chautauqua circuit this sum-
mer. according to j. H. Rohde, field
manager for the Vawter people. who
was here on Wednesday of last week
presenting the program and discussing
details with the local Chautauqua
committee.
Among the musical numbers which
seemed to stand out from the rest of
the program were the Montague Light
Opera Singers, the Hussars. and the
Belgian Orchestra.
The Montague Singers are said to
be one of the best ringing organiza-
tions ever assembled by the svawter
people. The same people have COM
prised the COMPANY for several years
and they have been appearing on the
largest musical courses of the country.
The Montague Singers feature light
opera and will present scenes Fin cos
tune from such we'll known light op-
eras as the Mikado, - "Robin
Hood, - tPied Piper, and "Madame
Butterfly.
Mr.. Rohde asserted that the Belgi-
an Orchestra would be q strictly high
class organization made up Of Belgian
musicians whu are now in this coun-
try. The company has been assembled
and coached by Mr.. A. F. Traviu, the
celebrated conductor and band master.
This will be a string orchestra and
will play only the best type of music.
Everyone enjoyed the program Civ
en- by the White Hussars last season.
This summer we will have another
White Hussar company, only the Hus-
sars will be young women, nine of
them. The Hussars are sent out by
the same producer that assembled and
trained the White Hussars of last
season and we can expect a program
full of lively, popular numbers.
Among the leading lecturers Of the
Chautauqua will be the Hon. "Cy-
clone" Davis, former congressman
from Texas. "Cyclone" Davis has
been used before in some Of the Vaw-

was received with such enthusiasm
everywhere that he has been engaged
for the coming summer. He is man
of fine physique, standing six feet
four. He is an orator of power and
has been in public life for more than
a quarter of a century. President

DIR. Hilton Ira Jones. a member of
the Naval Consulting League, and one
of Americas leading scientists, will
give us cture-demonsration of eel
entific subjects. DR.. Jones carries
complete set of scientific apparatus
and it ls said that he is one scientist
who has the ability to explain COM
plex subjects in terms which make
them readily understood by people
who have done little thinking along
such lines Mr.. Rohde declares that
the little folks on the front row are
| the ones most interested in DR.. Jones
lecture.demonstration.
