MUSICIANS OF
WILSON'S ship
TO PLAY HERE

The Great Lakes String Quartet,
which entertained President and Mrs.
Wilson on two voyages across the At
lantic on the U. S. S. George Washing
ton is coming here on the third day of
the Redpath Chautauqua. The quar-
tet will be assisted by a pianist. The
quartet members will give full con-
cert in the afternoon and will ap-
pear at night with Nine. Augusta
Lenska, primadona contralto.
The Quartet was organized at Great
Lakes Naval Training Station, Great
Lakes, ILL.,, where all the members of
the organization belonged to the same
Company and regiment. By special
permission of the Navy Department
the quartet made a coast to coast
tour of the United States in behalf of
the Navy Relief Society, the entire
proceeds going to the relief of families
and dependents of sailors and marines
The organization appeared in the
leading universities, educational and
musical centers of America and it's
fame grew rapidly. The tour had
progressed we'll in the eastern cities
when by special request of the Sec
rotary of the Navy the quartet was
ordered to accompany President Will
son on his first trip to France.
Many programs were given on board
the presidents ship, the U. S. S.
George Washington, for the president
al party by the members of the quar-
tet and their art was highly recon-
mended by the president. The quar-
tet made six transatlantic trips on
the George Washington between
America and France.
Leaving Paris during the month
of February they arrived in America
with the president on February. "a
and were shortly thereafter mustered
out of service.
Alton Packard, widely known as a
master cartoonist, humorist, singer of
songs and withal moralist, will ap-
pear in Joy Night supreme on the
concluding program of the Chautau-
qua
AS cartoonist, Mr.. Packard sketch
es upon sheets of paper and canvass
es eight feet square, said to be the
largest sketches ever attempted on
the platform, so they can easily be
seen in detail from any part of the big
chautauqua tent.
Packard's humor has rare quality
of being supremely human and may
be best described as genial. The
feeling that prevails in a Packard
audience is said to be so different
from that of any other that he is cal
led the cartoonist and humorist who is
so different.
Packard's work is all original, even
his songs are all his own compost
ton, and some of them are very funny.
His songs "Yaller Dawg' When You
Get What You Want You Don't Want
IT. Smile and Look the other Way"
Get Up and others always produce
roars of applause.
