"The Bubble" Proves to Be
Best Number of .Chautauqua
Bill Yet Presented Here
IF. CONNER GIVES FINE
TALK THIS AFTERNOON
Adanac Quartette, With Fa-
nous Ruthven Mcdonald, on
Bill for This Evening 49,

cts an i'll wind that blows no one
good" was at least one moral to be
gained from "The Bubble" which
burst at the Chautaucua last night.
"Rosie" was already to get married
to Dick Graham, but Dad Mueller
wouldn't stand for it, even when he
ran a little delicatessen store. When
Joseph Mahlen, a slick young oil
salesman, made Dad Mueller a rich
man (on paper), Dad wouldn't have
Dick around. But Dads oil stock,
which had made him half million in
five minutes (again on paper), blew
up about as quickly as he made 1t,
together with, as Dad supposed, his
$25, 900, which he had given Mahlen
to invest-and Dad Mueller was a
sick man. Rosie's Dick, anxious to
do something to prove himself Of the
right stuff and worthy of Rosie, sue
ceeds in getting enough of Mueller's
stock sold before the Bubble" bursts
to pay Dad back. and then some,
without Dads knowledge, and after
the crash comes back with Mueller's
$4,000 safely tucked in his inside
pocket and other $4,000 for Rosie.
OF course, Dad Mueller suddenly
finds Dick is smart man, and plen-
ty good enough for Rosie.
j. Moy Bennett,a prominent Broad
way favorite, plays the role of Gus
tav Mueller, of delicatessen fame, and
he plays it superbly. Mr.. Benefits
years of experience on the stage has
made him a star in such roles as he
took last: night. Josephine Wehn, as
Emelie Mueller, showed herself to be
finished artist in .impersonating the
wife of Mueller. Her representation
was excellent. The fact that she had
just closed a season with Lionel Bar
rymore, previous to which she had
been three years with Maud Adams,
is at least some index to the high
character of and demand for her tai
ent.
Miss Billy Lee as "Rosie" was all
that demure little girl, deeply in
love with her fiancee, could be. Her
sweetheart, Dick, was all that was
good and heroic and she was loyal to
the core. She knew Dick was right
and was finally rewarded for her
faith. Her part was well taken. :.
Karl Nielsen,- as Dick Graham,
Rosie's sweetheart, was one Of those
young fellows brimful of pep and
ideas, on the staff of a financial pa
per and in bad with his intended ia
ther-in-law, but finally becomes a
hero when Dad needs him most. Fred
]. Adams, as Joseph Mahlen, the vii
liam in the play, completed the cast
and as all successful Williams must do,
made the audience hate him for his
perfidy. He is also an actor of ex-
perience in New York theatrical cir
cles.
"The Bubble undoubtedly ! has
been the strongest number on the
program so far. A record audience
greeted the players, the tent being
filled to capacity and many standing.
Oney Fred Sweet, who gave the
lecture in the afternoon on "In the
Other Fellows Shoes" left with the
audience two strong truths. "Choose
a job that you can do well'' and "make
that job part Of your life" Sweet,
IN the other fellows shoes, has mad
many interesting experiences and de-
duced from those experiences many
useful life lessons which he gave to
his hearers.
This afternoon, J. F. Conner gave
his lecture, "What's in the Farmers
Mind" and. the Adanac quartette
gave a 30-inmute prelude Of selec-
tions which were greatly appreciated.
Tonight the quartette will give the
entire program land judging from
the numbers given in the afternoon,
and the manner in which they were
received, the concert tonight will be
splendid. The Adanac quartette is a
Canadian organization of which the
celebrated Ruthven Mcdonald, a Vic
tor artist, is the leader. Every men,
Der of the quartette has voice of
high excellence.
