in the Celebration.

LINCOLN MCCONNELL, who speaks
at night on Friendship Day, is going
to talk about grouches, their cause and
cure. Lincoln Mcconnell can have
more fun on the Chautauqua platform
and make more fun for people, than
any man you ever heard Ralph Par
lette says, if he wanted a few reels of
movies, colored picnic, a cake walk
and an oratorial contest and a revival
meeting, all under one roof in bit
more than an hour, there would be only
one man to get, and that man would be
Lincoln Mcconnell. Continuing, Mr..
Parlette says, he is his menagerie, a
circus, a Chautauqua and a Lyceum
course, all in one. He is his own pre-
lude, postlude, interlude, orchestra,
footlights, chairman, deficit and bad
boy in the front row, and that is Lin
coin Mcconnell in a nut shell. Friend
ship Day will be real friendship day
for all who hear Mcconnell, for any
one who comes to hear him is going
20 have his grouches amputated, and
he will WELD an influence with all who
hear him that will make life a little
brighter and little happier for them.
ONE of the big musical attractions
of the ChGutauqua is the Italian
Bersagliere Band, composed of veter-
ans of the famous Italian shnrpshoot-
ers' corps, who saw service at the
Front. These men are picked musi-
clans of Italy and under direction of
an Italian officer will appear at the
Chautauqua, both afternoon and night
of the third day, in the dress uni
forms of their rating.
DIR. CHARLES E. BARKER comes
to the chautauqua the third day, to
tell folks how to be physically fit"
the year around. DR.. Barker was
physical adviser to Ex-President Taft,
for the full four years that Mr.. Taft
was President, and he is one of the
foremost health experts in the world.
His lecture on "How to Live One Hun
dred Years" is not so much to pro-
mote longevity as to keep folks physi-
cally fit at all times. By physically
fit" DIR. Barker does not mean heal
thy. Many strong people are not
physically fit and comparatively weak
men are in good health. DIR. Barker
was on seven-day circuit on an East
ern Redpath Chautauqua system last
year and his lectures were one of the
features of the Chautauqua. 1t is no
uncommon thing for hundreds of peo-
pic to gather about him after his lee
ture and continue to question him.
ONE OF THE GREATEST COM
EDY-DRAMAS produced in the past
decade-"It Pays to Advertise"-will
be played at the Chautauqua by the
cast of New York players who made
it so popular in New York City. Its
many comic situations bring deluges
of laughs, yet it also has lot of good,
sound business psychology that res
cues it from frivolity and makes it a
headliner for everybody. This play en-
joyed a successful run of one full sea-
son in both Chicago and New York.
Chas. F. Horner secured this company
with the knowledge that he would be
able to present the best comedy or
drama that he has ever presented at
the Chautauqua. Appropriate stage
settings accompany these players.
DIR. FRANK l.. LOVELAND has
been lecturing on the Redpath plat
forms for many years. DIR. Loveland
is not known as humorous lecturer,
and yet he is popular. His lectures
are serious and yet they are interest
ing. They are deep, yet the way he
handles the subject is so masterful
that they are easily understood. DIR.
Loveland is a student of human ma
ture and social and political develop
ment. His lecture on "The Perils to
Democracy" is one of the timely and
lectures of the day.
THE SUCCESS of the Premier
Concert Artists last year was so
pronounced that it was thought adj
visable to furnish similar but larger
this year. The COM
