lecture is illustrated by magnificent

DIR. Frank L. Loveland's challeng-
ing address on "The Perils of Democ-
racy" is the result of extensive in
vestigations both at home and in Eu-
rope. His lecture on the sixth after
noon stimulates a patriotism based
on a sane and sturdy Americanism.
1t fills a genuine need in these days
of economic unrest.
''The Man from Home" on the
sixth night, is one of the most sue
cessful of modern comedy dramas.
The plot centers around the adven-
lures of an eccentric young lawyer
and his efforts to save his ward, ro-
mantle title-hunting girl, from a con-
spring family of the ''fne flower
of Europe. Thrilling situations, bub-
bling humor and clever acting, make
this play an exceptionally popular
Chautauqua feature.
Following delightful musical pro-
gram on the last afternoon, Wallace
Bruce Amsbary, author and interpre-
ter, will give a lecture-recital. He
renews for his audiences the elusive
charm and wholesome humor Of
James Whitcomb Riley. Entertaining
sketches from the life and works OF
Riley are interspersed with interest
ing personal "reminiscences of the be-
loved Hoosier poet. Mr.. Amsbary is
both an entertainer and a lecturer.
AS a fitting close to delightfully."-
entertaining and up-to-the minute
program comes Ralph Bingham, one
of Americas greatest fun-makers, a
humorist of the highest order. Zen
thousand performances throughout
the country have cemented his popu-
larity in the North, South, East and
West. Wit, wisdom, music, drollery
and mirth enliven his program.
In accordance with the long stand
ing policy of the Redpath Bureau a
special story hour will be conducted
each morning or afternoon for the
children. Thoroughly trained young
women will have charge of this work
The stories will prove an unfaillng
delight to the youngsters.
