THE CZECHO-SLOVAK BAND
Two Concerts - Fifth Day =

For the last few years, when the
hand of Fate has been so ruthlessly
juggling the destinies of men and of
nations, the little country Of b.
hernia, home of the Czecho-Slovaks,
(check'o-slo'vaks) has been very
much in the public eye. With all
odds apparently against them these
heroic people, who had been strug-
Cling for centuries for liberty, defed
the anger Of the Huns and cast their
lot with the Allies.
An army Of fifty thousand SOL
diers from this 'bull-dog nation"
started for France by way of Vladi-
vostok. Soon they found them
selves in the center of Russia, cut off
from supplies and transportation by
the Bolsheviki under German Or
ders. But they fought their way

THE REGNIERS ARE COMING

Personality plus and talent plus
therein lies the reason for the un-
usual success of the Regniers (Ren-
yays). In two programs on the
sixth day these two talented enter
tanners accomplish what a dozen
people might easily hesitate at at
tempting. For eight years they have
been appearing constantly before
Lyceum and Chautauqua audiences
throughout forty states of the Union
Out of 1740 audiences, 518 have
heard them the second and third
time.
The afternoon prelude consists
Of soprano and tenor solos, vocal
duets, trombone solos, pianologues
and readings. The evening prelude
is built on the outline of a very
clever conversational sketch, that
serves as a vehicle to introduce the
individual numbers in the most
natural sort of a way. Into this
sketch is woven a series of remark
able character impersonations by
Roy Joseph Regnier, solos, duets,
readings and songs in character.
, A Los Angeles critic in comment
ing on one Of their recent appear
ances in that city said, REALLY the
only objection to their program
that can think of, and a critic
must kick about something if he
earns his money, is that they make

we haven't enough to spare"

out of difficulty and were of meal
culable benefit to the Allied cause
because of their stand and their
strategic position.
1t is peculiarly fitting that in this
Victory year we should have for our
big Chautauqua attraction a band
of Czecho-Slovaks. They are a
musical race. Bohemia has been
the home of many of the worlds
greatest musicians. They will pre-
sent some of the charming music of
their own country, as well as a
splendid repertoire of the great
classics and music of a lighter popu-
lar variety. In the evening

THE APOLLO CONCERT COMPANY

Chautauqua is going to close in 8
veritable "blaze of glory" W.
bring for the closing day the most
popular concert company of it's kind
on the platform-the Apollos. II
is one of the oldest in point of SER
vice too. For a dozen years they
have been traversing this country,
Canada, Mexico, even the Canal
Zone and have just returned from
a six months trip for Ellison-White
over the South Seas Chautauquas in
New Zealand and Australia. Dur
ing all these years they have stood
in the very forefront among concert
companies.
Arthur Wells, the three hundred
pound manager of the Apollos, halls
from Danville, Illinois, home of
Uncle Joe Cannon. Wells smilingly
says Illinois has produced two
national celebrities, "me and Joe"
Both are national institutions, and
one is as widely known in the plat
form world as is the other in the
world of politics.
The Apollophone, a specially
constructed instrument embracing
the best qualities of the xylophone
and marimbaphone, is featured in
the two concerts. Saxophone quar-
tets, trombone, viola, banjo and
vocal solos, pianologues, readings,
and ensemble numbers make up the
remainder of these thoroughly JOY
GUS and inspiring programs.

THE MUSIC OF CHAUTAUOUA
'ao C Band Company Flon
Musical sGrtPoa
M AIRY ABEL HAYS
Famous New York Coloratura Soprano
Assisted by Recital Artists

Lovers of the best in music will be
enthusiastic over the coming of
Mary Abel Hays, the New York
coloratura soprano, on the fourth
evening. Few coloraturas upon the
concert platform today possess
voices of such crystalline purity and
beauty. Musical America" of New
York, the leading musical magazine
OF the country, commenting on one
OF her recent appearances said,
"Miss Hays displayed a splendidly
trained voice Of rarely beautiful
quality, highly developed technical
skill and excellent style and TASTE"
Her tour through the South and
West will be a memorable one.
Miss Hays is assisted by the
Recital Artists, a trio of exception
ally gifted musicians. She will sing
in the evening only but her COM
pany will present an afternoon
program as we'll. Lowell Patton,
pianist OF the Recital Artists, is one
of the prominent concert pianists
of the West. Marie Chapman,
violinist, is an artist of high rank in
technic and in smoothness and
sweetness of tone. The violin be-
comes in her hands a real channel for
expression, conveying to her au-
diences every tiny fancy of the
composer. Robert E. Willard, fut-
list, is a symphony orchestra player
of note and one Of the recognized
masters of this instrument.

JAROSLAV CIMERA
Famous Band Leader Conin6

Jaroslav Cimera, director of the
Czecho-Slovak Band which comes
to Chautauqua for two complete
programs on the fifth day, is one
of the foremost band leaders now
in this country. He is native of
Bohemia, born in the capital city
OF Pilsen, which has given so many
great musicians to the world. His
splendid musicianship, added to his
great interpretative ability, is ex-
pressed in the dash and fervid re-
spouse of his talented players.
Cimera knows music and he
knows American audiences. And
he loves to please - always
thoroughly generous in his offerings
and encores. You will enjoy his
work as a director. He is not a
"fre-eating" conductor, butachieves
the most vivid effects with grace
and ease. Band critics throughout
the East have commented upon the
sparkle, life and brilliancy that he
secures in his interpretations.
In addition to being one of the
most noted band leaders of the day
Cimera is often rated as the master
of all trombone players. For sew
eral seasons he was trombone soloist
with Innes and Sousa. A feature
of the two concerts will be his
remarkable trombone solos.

FILLION CONCERT PARTY
Headed by Ferdinand Fillion

The Fillion Concert Party brings
to you two programs of heart-satis-
flying music on the second day Of
Chautauqua. Three eminent artists
constitute this splendid company.
Ferdinand Fillion, violinist and
pianist, Fern Goltra, lyric soprano
and Mary McKinnon, pianist and
accompanies.
Ferdinand Fillion is a noted
French violin virtuoso. He uses in
his recitals a Du Salo instrument,
one of the oldest italian violins in
existence, made by Gaspara Du Salo
who lived from 1912 to 1909. This

violin is both elegant in form and
beautiful in tone and Mr.. Fillion's
art as a violinist is entirely in keep
ing with his possession of this rare
instrument. Fern Goltra has a
lyric soprano voice Of mpid beauty,
while her Interpretation and skill
in vocalization are magnificent. She
was formerly a member of the
Chicago Grand Opera Association
and during the past winter has been
singing the leading role in a New
York revival of "Pinafore." Mary
McKinnon, a talented accompanist,
adds the final pleasing touch to this
splendid company.

Bertha Ellen McDonough and
Ethel M. Eagleston are two charm
ing young ladies with just one mis-
sion in life-that of making other
folks happy. And how we'll they
do it. For years they have been
registering one of the biggest Sue
cesses of the Chautauqua platform
as musical fun-makers. We have
tried repeatedly to secure them for
Ellison-White territory and have
at last succeeded. They come to
you on the opening night with a pro-

This keynote position on the

them for very definite reason. It
is to welcome you at the big brown
tent with smile and send you home
happy over the starting of the week

immensely. Everyone does. From
the first moment they appear in
song and story until they wave
goodbye" they will not give you
one dry or uninteresting moment.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Lincoln and Italy

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 On July 23, 1864. President Lincoln sent the following letter to Commander Bertinatti. Italian envoy extraordinary q am free to confess that the Unit ed States have, in the course of the last three years, encountered vicfsai- tudes and been involved in controver- sies which have tried the friendly and even the foybearance of other nations, but at no stage in this unhappy fra ternal war in which we are only en- deavofing to save and strengthen the foundations of our national unity, has the King or the people of Italy fal- tered in addressing to us the language of respect, confidence and friendship
 T pray God to have your country in His holy keeping, and to vouchsafe to crown with success her noble aspir- ations, to renew, under the auspices of her present enlightened government, her ancient career, so wonderfully H. 1ustrated in the achievements of art, science and freedom"
 Now it is the Italians who are en- deavoring to strengthen the founda- tions of their national unity and they trust that the people of America will not falter in addressing to them the language of respect, confidence ard friendship in the present crisis invoiv- ing so vitally the just national aspira- tions of Italy. Very truly yours,

French Embassy To
 Remain At Berne
By Associated Press


 Geneva, May 14.--(French Wireless Service.)-Rumors that the seat of the French embassy in Switzerland would be transferred to Geneva are based on a misunderstanding, according to in formation from Berne.
 It is said that the rumor has some connection with the fact that the com mittee on organization of the league of nations is examining the question of creating special diplomatic branch, which will enjoy the same privileges with governments as em- bassies and legations, such as the right of etra- -territoriality and the use of ciphers and diplomatic couriers.
 If this step is finally decided upon 1t is probable that the great powers will each have two distinct diplomatic missions in Switzerland, one at Berne with the Swiss government and the other at Geneva, the seat of the league of nations.
