Chorus Are Notable
Attraction.


panies, great lectures on timely
topics-these are notable attractions
which will appear here on the 1920
Redpath Chautauqua. The entire
program is replete with features Of
compelling interest and timeliness.
The Premier Singers and Players
Company will be the attraction on
the first afternoon. Four talented,
| vivacious artists compose this COM
rany. They render programs of great
variety, combining orchestral, vocal
and special novelty features. Every
number is given with a brightness
and sparkle which will make this
company long remembered in the
community. A striking feature Of
the programs will be the rendition of
| selections from the standard operas
This is a feature which never fails
to please Chautauqua audiences.
"i'he Man of the New Age" is the
lecture theme of DR.. George l.. Park
cr who will speak here on the open
ing night of the Chautauqua. Dr.
Parker is a widely known inspira-
tlonal lecturer who always gives to
his hearers Il message distinctly
worth while. He is virile, magnet
lc speaker and one who holds his
audiences both by the force of his
ideas and the magnetic quality of his
oratory.
Earl H. Nipple, "Wizard of the
Aylophone," is manager of the Nipple
Concert Company, which will appear
here in a prelude on the second af-
ternoon and a grand concert at night.
The company's program is both clas-
sical and popular in character and is
so universal in scope that it pleases
the entire audience. Four artists of
attainment compose this excellent
concert company.
Judge Manford Schoonover, on the
second afternoon will give his great
lecture "Unseen Forces" Judge
Schoonover is a mans man, one who
talks Straight from the shoulder"
He has fought his way up from OBJ
security to a place of trust in the
councils OF his state. He is "home
folks" the kind of a man you will en-
JOY meeting at the close of the ad-
dress. In his inspiring lecture he
portrays the great lesson of self-res-
pect, the call of the still small voice
of ones better self.
The American Girls who will ap-
pear on the third day, are entertain
ers extraordinary. They possess
overwhelmingly pleasing and refresh
ing manner which always insures
them the heartiest welcome. Theirs
is distinctly entertainment attrac-
ton. They render their selections in
thoroughly artistic manner and do
not attempt to give the so-called
classical" selections, seeking rather
to feature the popular and laugh-pro-
ducing songs and instrumental num-
bers.
Thonans Brooks Fletcher, one of
Americas greatest dramatic orators,
ON the third night will give one of his
master lectures. Thomas Brooks
Fletcher is one of the most powerful
orators of cur time. He entertains
but he also has powerful message
and knows how to tell it. People
want to hear about the things that
are being done in this country and
that is what Fletcher is telling them
about and he is telling them in way
that commands attention and that
stimulates men to action. He leaves
the impress of his lecture on every
community. a
Wallace Bruce Amsbary is "the
bearer of story" His "Jean Bap-
tiste and His Brethren" will introduce
the character of the French Cana
dian, that delightful type which adds
so much color and charm to the poems
novels and stories of Sir Gilbert
Parker, Mary Hartwell Catherwood,
DR.. Henry van Dyke and DR.. Will
liam Henry Drummond. Wallace
Bruce Amsbary will be heard on the
fourth afternoon.
The Red Grenadiers Band and Male
Chorus, which will appear in a pre-
lude concert on the fourth afternoon
and grand concert at night, will be
one of the greatest features Of the
entire Chautauqua week. In fact. it
has been long, indeed, since Redpath
presented on this big circuit better
or bigger attraction than this great
singing band. Their concerts will be
hailed with enthusiasm everywhere.
William Maupin, director of the Red
Grenadiers, is one of the well-known
band men of the United States. A
singing band has always been re-
markably successful entertainment at
traction. Combining as it does, in
strumental and vocal features, sing
ing band makes an appeal to the en-
tire audience.
