THIS YEARS CHAUTAUQUA A GOOD ONE
Greatest Artists in the History of the Chautauuua to
Perform Here This Season

The ablest set of performers that
Orofino has ever had will appear
at this years Chautauqua. This IA
not The fanciful idea Of a dreamer
but is the statement Of no less an
authority than Mrs. Ray Andrews,
formerly Miss Hula Anderson of
Orofino, who is visiting her mother.
Her husband is the man who hires
and fires every man who appears in
the circuit He ought to know
what he is doing, and his wife in
common with all modern wives.
ought 10 know as much as her hus-
band. Mrs. Andrews has made the
ROUNDS of the western circuit a num-
ber of times with her husband.
Her own experience enables her to
pass judgement on the quality of
talent that appears on the public
platform
Mrs Andrews declares that there
IS absolutely no question about the
superiority of the talent that is ap-
nearing this season. The Ellison
White corporation, like every one
who launches out on new career
is each year adding to its range Of
learning who ,Xcels, and they put
forth every possible effort to obtain
only the best
AS an example of their good judge
ment in eliminating the chaff from
the wheat, we need only to refer to
three Of the performers who are
to appear this year. Patton, the
man who last year simply electrified
great audiences by his wonderful
skill as a pianist of the highest
order He wac received with such
universal popular acclaim that the
Ellison White people sent him to
Australia and New Zealand after his
tour of this country. There his
fame was no less contagious than it
was in this country. 1t will inter-
est our readers to learn that Patton
received his training on the piano
from Rachmanioff. the greatest pi-
anoist Of the prsent day. Those
who have heard this wonderful mu-
sican on the phonograph will recall
with what exceptional charm he in
terprets and renders his music.
This is clearly case of like sire
like son.
Another great acquisition is con-
gresham Rainy of Illinois. the SILL
yer tongued orator of the United
States congress. This gifted states
man ranks second only to William
Jennings Bryan as an orator. He
Is drawing great crowds wherever
he appears on the platform He does
not speak in a professional way. but
is making the circuit because he has
a message which he regards as being
of vital Importance to the people OF
| this nation. He Is destined to draw
capacity house In Orofino.
Another leading light on this
| years program is Dean Persho, who
appears the second afternoon to lec-
ture on "The Problems of Today
He Is one Of the leading educators
of the United States. He is held in
such high regard by the United
States government that he was sent
to France to direct the educational
work that was carried on among tbs
American troops. The dean has
Travelled extensively in Europe and
America, and is therefore an author.
ity on the subject on hand.
Winifred Windus Is reader OF
such ability that one forgets the
performer and thinks only of the
characters which she impersonates.
The above performers are referred
to at random. They are not the
exception, but constitute only fail
sample Of what is in store for the
people Of this region. A word tc
the wise is sufficient.
