CHAUTAUQUA COMES TO CLOSE.
1921 Programs Equnllcd Those Of
1020-Permanent Hereafter.

II would De pleasure for us to give,
had we the space at our disposal at
the moment, full details of each Of
the splendid attractions presented
each day.
On the opening day, last Thurs
day, the Nipple Concert Company
gave a beautiful program. This com
pany had been in Walhalla before,
and they were gree ted as old friends.
Geo. l.. McNutt's lecture~Thurs-
day night was forceful and full Of
food for Thought.
On Friday afternoo DON the Gretchen
Cox Company rendered charming
program.
Friday night Harry l.. Fogleman
gave his famous lecture. Success or
Failure and he made il very plain
that 1t lies with us whether we sue
ceed or fail. His manner of dnliv-
ering this lecture is unique. his rapid
flow Of words being we'll chosen and
clearly enunciated. He has been very
appropriately called "Gattling Gun
| FCgleman."
Saturday afternoon there was
prelude by the White Hussars Band
and readings hy Beulah Buck. Miss
| Buck in private life is Mrs. Harry
| Fogleman. We had the pleasure Of
meeting Mrs. Fogleman personally,
and found her very charming. Her
rendition Of '"The Man in the Sha-
dow was wonderful; in fact, her
whole program was charming and
entertaining. We heard one lady re-
mark that in this one entertainment
| alone she had gotten the price Of
her season ticket.
The Grand Concert Of the White
Hussars Band Saturday night was as
fine performance as it has ever
| been our good fortune to hear. We
would like to mention individually
each member Of this wonderful ag-
gregation, but our space Is too linn
tied. Suffice 1T to say that each was
| indeed an artist in his particular
line.
Monday afternoon Dr. p. T. .Hag-
ttseeffnan sifectitTetf bf*e' The wy ofldf we
Live In." 1t would be we'll for us
If we would take his words home
and ponder them seriously-'m 'mark,
learn and inwardly digest them"
His lecture was listened to- atten-
lively by an apprecia tive audience.
Nothing but the TRUTH" a spark
ling American comedy, was presented
Monday night to crowded tent. The
continuous applause and laughter
attested to the excellence Of the
performance.
Last, but by no means least, on
Tuesday were Grocbecker's Swiss
iodlers. in the afternoon, and that
lnimitable humOrist. Alton Packard.
Tuesday night. We have had YOd-
lers here before, but nothing that
surpassed and few that equalled this
wonderful company. Humorists and
cartoonists we have also had with
us, but to Alton Packard we give
f1rSt place. His entertainment was
without doubt the cleverest of it's
kind that has ever been presented
in Walhalla.
We want to say q word in praise
of the excellent work which has been
done by Miss Pearson, "The Story
Hour Girl" Miss Pearson so en-
deared herself to the little folks, by
her sweet and charming manners,
that 1T was with deep regret that
they bade her goodbye.
Everybody regretted that Super
intendent Gass was indisposed almost
the entire five days Of his stay, and
the people Of Walhalla were de-
prived OF the pleasure Of becoming
as we'll acquainted with him as they
did with Superintendent Hughs last
year We hope that Mr.. Gass will
be returned with the ChautauQua
next year, thus giving us an oppor-
tunity of knowing him better.
The people Of Walhalla and COM
munity are indeed to he congratu-
lated upon securing such entertain
ments as the Redpath Burea/ sends
out. and 1t is with great pleasure
that we are able to announce that
IT Will be permanent thing for
Walhalla in the future.
A Great Gathering Sunday.
On Sunday last there was a great
Sunday school gathering at the
Chautauqua tent, the seating capa-
city Of the tent being more than
occupied, and many we're forced to |
take seats on the outside on the |
ground and on chairs that were pro-
Vlded Tor as many as possible.
There were a number of splendid |
talks made by speakers from other
places and from among The local |
sunday school workers. Altogether |
me meeting was considered one Of |
the best ever held in the county.
The actual seating capacity OF the
tent proper is twelve hundred, and,
taxing into considera ton the num-
Der of people on the outside, it IS
safe to estimate the crowd in at
tendance around 1900 to 1900.
reports from earnest workers in
the Sunday schools indicate that the
great meeting last Sunday will bear
good fruit in the future in the way
or stimulated interest in this very
important branch Of church work.
Permanently Organized.
