STRICKLAND GILLIAN
AT CHAUTAUQUA TONIGHT
Famous Newspaper Humorist to Give
His Lecture, "Just Between
Ourselves"

The audience at Chautauqua last
night was the largest of the week, IN
dicating that folks are beginning to
appreciate mere fully the fine pro.
gram witch is being put on by this
company. There were more than five
hundred people in the tent last night
and a most appreciative audience ap-
plauded with enthusiasm the New
Englanders who rendered a splendid
literary program of music and recita-
tions
The latter part of the evening was
occupied by Brush the great, who with
his two clever assistants, kept his
hearers intensely interested from the
beginning. when he told an inquirer
in the audience when he was going
to die, until he magically appeared in
the center OF the stage after having
apparently wa ked back of the wings.
In the opinion OF a Bennington man
who has seen every FIRST class eXpon-
ent of the Black Art Which has shown
in Bennington during the past thirty
FIVE years, Prof Brush excels them
all in pure slight of hand tricks and
real humorous patter He has several
new tricks that have never been shown
in Bennington before.
His advice on smoking drinking OF
tea and coffee as we'll as stronger
] liquids may well be taken seriously
If he ever comes this way again he
will be assured of a packed house,
