THE NEXT CHAUTAUQUA

This season for the first time, this
community is to enjoy program of
Redpath Chautauqua attractions.
Recently the National Lincoln Chau-
tauqua system was acquired by the
Redpath Company, which will coop
crate with the local committee in man
aging the assembly.
From the Dunbar Male Quartet and
Bell Ringers, on the opening day, to
the closing day with its Joy Night
and children's pageant, the program
is full of interesting surprises. 1t is
known that the Redpath people are
making a special effort to please pat
rons of this circuit, and those who
are familiar with Chautauqua talent
state that the program compares fav-
orably with that which the same com
pany stages in the largest cities of
the country.
Chenette's band, in accordance with
the promise of the Lincoln manage
ment last summer, is to be one of
the >headliners this year, appearing on
I Chautauqua's fourth day for two con-
certs. Another star musical number
will be Harold Proctor, California
tenor, with Irene Stolofsky, violiniste,
and competent pianist.
The great American comedy, 1T
Pays to Advertise" also is announced
for the 1920 Chautauqua. 1t will be
presented with complete cast and
stage settings. That the play is a
continuous scream is evidenced by
enthusiastic reports from recent ma
tional tours
The lecture feature is to be I'M
usually strong, with such headliners
as Granville Jones, "the hundred per
cent American; Lewis Edwin York;
Bhaskar Hivale of Bombay, India, and
Marie Rose Lauler, charming
French girl who recently completed a
nationwide lecture tour in this coun-
try.
An early announcement of Chau-
tauqua dates is expected.
