CROWDS
At CHAUTAUQUA
Increase in Attendance at
Community Event Given in
Tent Program Good

Much larger audiences enjoyed the
performances in the Chautauqua tent
yesterday than the opening day. on
Tuesday. and we're well rewarded for
the interest which they manifested.
The program both afternoon and
evening was of exceptional merit
and the lecture by DR.. Frank Bohn,
which followed last nights musical
numbers, was a message which PEN
etrated deeply into the minds of the
entire audience and brought home to
scores of Perth Amboyans the true
economic situation which now exists
all over the world.
In the afternoon DR.. W. E. Thomp-
son, the Chautauqua superintendent,
held an interested audience for near
ly three-quarters of al hour with
his first Chautauqua lecture, Bread
Enough, But Hungry"
His lecture, an allegory compar-
ing horses and men summed itself
up into a fascinating word picture
wildly portraying the race of life
as compared to a race of spirited
horses and conciusively proving that
it is the things of the spirit which
count. Coupled with his experience
as a Red Cross worker in Rouma-
MIA is the agreeable personality with
which he pervades the Chautauqua
at every performance.
DR.. Thompson will give two other
lectures durin gthe week of perform
ances the first one entitled Free
for ALL" which he will give this aft
ernoon and the second, war, Why?
With Whom?" on tomorrow after
noon.
Music Is Feature.
The Boston Musicians Quintet en-
dered a high type OF music which
filed the afternoon and evening per-
iods gratifyingly. With three of the
instrumentalists members of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra,
pianist of great ability and a lyric
soprano of merit, the quintet show
ed great versatility. The vocal duets
by Georges Mayer and Madame Lee
mounier were an attractive part or
the program while the solos by MI.
Mayer as cornetist, Carl Stockbridge,
cellist and Frederick Mann, violin
list, were supplemented by orchestral
numbers Of pleasing selection.
DR.. Bohn, perhaps the greatest at
traction of the entire week, lived up
his reputation as student Of his
tory and economics, statesman and
lecturer. DR.. Bohn spoke on "All
the World and Ourselves" ami
showed that while there might be a
possibility of living for ourselves
only, we should, for the betterment
of the entire race, live with "all the
world" The superiority of the Eng
lish speaking nations, mainly the
United States and Canada, the posi-
ton which they now hold among
the other nations and their possible
tiles of dominating the world were
brought out most clearly, but the re-
suits of taking advantage OF this
power was pictured in such a way
that the audience felt with n
speaker that the satisfaction of
achievement in this particular line
would be greatly overshadowed by
the attitude of hatred which would
materialize in other countries.
DIR. Bohn, who was present at n
peace conference, has h~obnobbed
with the greatest statesmen OF all
countries and has facts and figures
at his finger tips. The speaker, while
not talking for a league of nations,
impressed upon the audience that
some nature of a pact where all
nations must have a say would be
the only salvation for the lasting
peace of the world.

entertainers and an illustrated lee
ture, 1.-THE New Power In Southern
Europe" by Drew Pearson this af-
ternoon and the comedy drama,
