Western Welfare Chautauquas
Mansfield, Missouri

Sat-, Sum-, Mon., July, 9th, 10th, 18th
A universal characteristic Of the human race is the mate
desire for recreation. The kind of recreation desired is
largely governed by the intellectual status of the commu.
nifty. The progressive community stands for that class Of
entertainment which inspires, instructs and entertains. The
Chautauqua is the medium through which this particular
combination can be obtained. This institution has just been
called the university Of the Small Town., 1t is through
the Chautauqua that the small town is permitted to enjoy
the programs rendered by Americas greatest artists.
During the Great War it was necessary for the United
States Government to preserve the morale of its armv.
In the present period of financial and moral stress, the
morale Of the masses must be preserved in some way.
The demand for Chautauqua is ever increasing, for in the
words OF one Of our greatest statesmen, it is IAN integral
part Of our national defense"
A number of the leading citizens of Mansfield have amply provided
tor lhe recreational needs of our community by contracting for sx
double programs to be rendered under the auspices of the Western

qua a success. After all, the success of an enterprise of this kind
depends directly upon the united efforts Of all the citizens of the
community,

Winchell Smith Scores
With Another New Play
"The Wheel Ranked by Seashore Critics as
Best Work of This Successful Playwright.

The production of a new play by
Winchell Smith is of interest to the
wide world, since there is always
the chance that it will run for
twelve years. THE Wheel" pro-
duced in Atlantic City recently, is
Mr.. Smiths first play in three years
the first since "Lightnin'." 1t is
hailed in Atlantic City as the au-
thor's best, and is thus described in
The Daily Press:
The insidious lure of the gam
ing table. the spin of the roulette
wheel and the battle of a courageous
wife to save her young husband
from plunging into a moral abyss is
the text of the story upon which
Mr.. Smith elaborates a play that
will undoubtedly be a success.
AT the premiere presentation
The Wheel revolves with a vehem-
ent whir in the first act. wabbles
far too much in the second act and
then regains new speed in a capi-
tai third act, with a conclusion that
dispenses with the process of the
reformed gamester's repentance and
places him before the audience
cured and ready to start upon the
marital happiness for which the
so desperately.
THE first act is charmingly en-
acted. Ida st. Leon as the attractive
and captivating milliner is beloved
by Charles Latte as Theodore Nor
ton, jr., son of wealthy parents. For
her he defies his family and over
comes the resolve of Miss st. Leon
as Kate O'Hara not to wed because
marriages out of ones circle in life
seldom result happily.

To Receive First
Sunday Cr0lDd Today

Following it's successful opening
yesterday, Glen Echo Park today
wifi entertain its first Sunday
crowd of the season. While the
series of free concerts by Sol. Min
ster's poular band will be the special
free feature, there will be a wealth
of diversion for the crowd both
afternoon and evening, The new
features have been given the stamp
of approval by the first-nighters
who tried them out last night, and
TODAY they will be introduced to
several more thousand Washington
folks.
All of the attractions of last sum-

has been removed to make room for
its more modern successor, the
coaster dip, whose 5000 feet of track
covers the space II formerly occu-

breath taking dips and sharp curves
give a gratifying thrill.

week-night dancing is an added
attraction. This year, Glen Ecno
offers a modern ballroom, a veri-
table fairyland of beauty;~ modern
music by one of the best orchestras
Washington affords. and the mod
ern way of enjoying it. No more
does the 5-cents-per-dance figure,
but, instead. a fixed charge Is made
for the evening. and everyone who
enters the ballroom pays. All OBJ
jectionable forms OF dancing are
taboo. and dancing can be enjoyed
with the same comfort and security
from annoyance one has in a private
ballroon.

Il started by selling papers" is
the not uncommon line in the au-
photographers Of many of Americas
business kings who, after decades of
striving, have reached the top.
In one case that effort has been
crowded into thirteen. years. 1t is
the meteoric case of Marco, revue
producer. The time really was less
than thirteen years, for during the
war he laid aside his work to help
Uncle Sam in the navy.
While he and his talented sister,
Fanchon, rose to the rank of prin-
cipals and producers in Let's Go"
one of the best revues ever pro-
duced on the Pacic Coast, their real
vehicle of stardom is the production
they have created for the 1920-ls2l
season. This is THE Satires of
1890" which will be the attraction
at the National Theater beginning
tonight.

After Marco closed the "newsie"
chapter of his boyhood he sought
an education. Then, with his sister.
who had been graduated from A
dramatic school and was teaching
dancing, he went East, braved the
theatrical managers, and in a few
months the two came West on the

love for gambling already is on the
household. Thomas w. Ross as Ed
ward Baker. a gaming house pro-
prietor and owner of a racing stable
is infatuated with Kate, and when
she appeals to him to suggest how
her husband can be saved, predicts
that the chances of curing him of
his passion are one in 1000. New
ertheless he agrees to lend assist
ance If the situation becomes des-
perate
In the third act Kate presumably
has sought Bakers help, for he has
transformed 6oms in his apartment
house into fh-fiedged gaming quar-
ters. transferring his own assist
ants to carry out the scheme, and
then deftly induces the young hus-
band to patronize it. The fidelity
to a real gaming palace is admir-
able and the gradual denuding Of
Morton of all his possessions is a
tense and absorbing process. When
he is broke he learns that 1t Is his
wife who owns the apartment,
thanks to Baker. and the checks
he has signed for $35,000 all go to
her.
The relief from despair to
knowledge that his wife will not
taste poverty makes Morton resolve
and stick to it never to gamble
again.
Ida St. Leon was splendid as the
brave defender of her love; Latte
worked up a fine performance in
the gambling scenes; Ross as the
worldly but manly gaming proprie-
tor made a great impression and
Francis O'Reilly as the sauve and
polite manager of the gaming hall
was a pleasure to behold"
When Will Deming. who plays
the role of a crook in "Nobody's
Money" gets tired of acting he is
going to open a bake shop. DEM
ing's fame as cook is nationwide
among his fellow players for they
have all heard of his culinary
ability.
Deming not only knows how to
cook all sorts of meats and Vege-
tables, but he can qualify as a
pastry cook and bread maker as
we'll. While Deming lives the art
of making bread like mother used
to make will not die. Deming's
ability as a bread maker has gained
him more fame among his fellow
players than his ability to act and
act well.
Some years ago Deming and
half dozen other players were liv-
ing in a boarding house in Chicago
when the colored cook became Of
Tended at the structures placed on
her cooking and quit without no
tice. There was a stringency In
the cook market at that time-it
has not let up to any extent since
and the high class boarding house
keeper found herself in a guam
dary. Either she had to get an
other cook or get rid of her lodg-
ers. In her dilemma she told her
troubles to Deming.
Don't worry" said the actor.
Take your time and get the right
cook. Until you do, will cook the
dinners" The keeper of the board
ing house had never heard Of Dem
ing's fame as a cook and It. took
some persuasion on the actors
part to convince her that he knew
the difference between a skillet and
a bake pan. But Deming set to
work in the kitchen that afternoon
and cooked the dinner. The play
ers who ate 1t raved over It.
