For those who have not yet solved
the vacation problem, the Community
Chautauqua, with world of entertain
ment it offers comes happy solution.
1t will open here in about four weeks,
and all those who intend to take a
vacation at that time, can take it
right at home, getting all the best
of the city's entertainment without
the expense and discomfort of travel.
Once the array of talent which the
Community Chautauqua is offering
this year becomes known every mem
Der of the family will feel that right
here in his own town is the ideal va
cation. For whether it's music, lee
ture or drama that is favorite, it is
include on this remarkable all-star
program that includes an array of tai
ent unequalled by any five-day Chau-
tauqua in America.
The program opens with notable
lecture by the noted English engin-
eer, Tillemont- -Thomason, who has
been brought over from England by
by the Community Chautauqua espec-
tally for this lecture tour. He has
long been head of the British Lecture
League, one of the most influential
institutions in England, and gained
great prominence during the early
days of the war by his remarkable
analysis of the German war plans
long before they became apparent to
the Allied military powers. He went
up and down the country explaining
the real objects of the various great
German drives, and while he was at
first scoffed at, he was later -acknowl-
edged absolutely correct in his pre-
dictions which were borne out by the
subsequent course of events. He
approaches the great problem of the
German Revolution in absolutely the
same open-minded spirit, and gives
some important facts about Ger
many's plans for escaping the penalty
of her crimes He explains motives
behind the German revolutionary
propaganda, and outlines what we
may expect of Germany in the future.
On the same evening, appears the
delightful Theresa Sheehan Concert
Company, which gives a program of
charming music, while Miss Shee-
han herself will entertain with
her clever Irish readings. Her
account of the sinking of
the Lusitania and the work of the
Marines at Chateau-Thierry form
thrilling drama that all will enjoy.
The second days program is made
notable by the appearance of the
great Charles T. Grilley, the prince of
entertainers who is this year making
his first triumphant tour under Chau-
tauqua management to greet the
great audiences that have long known
and loved him. He gives the famous
dialect stories and impersonations
that are a source of unfailing iov
and in addition there is the delightful
accompaniment furnished by
his daughter, Virginia Grilley, the
talented young harpist. On the even
ing of the same day comes the great
est and most thrilling educational and
dramatic lecture ever presented, for
the noted authority on heredity, AL
bert Edward Wiggam, presents his
great lecture, climbing the Fam
lily Tree" 1t is an education for faith
ers, mothers and children, for it ans
wers such age-old questions as: Whv |
do strong, sane parents have weak
degenerate children? Will the chill
dren of criminals be criminals? How /
do geniuses happen?- and many other
questions on heredity that every
person has pondered over.
