The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-04-28
SIGNED FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
Chautauqua Closed Monday Evening,
and Contract Again Signed.

With the entertainment of Monday
evening the Redpath chautauqua
came to a close The closing enter
tainment consisted of prelude by
| the Swiss yodlers and cartoons by
Evelyn Bargelt. During the inter-
mission the floor manager, Mr.. kel-
| lv. arranged for the signing of a con-
| tract for the return of the chautau-
qua next spring, with the assistance OF
Rev. S. o. Cantey and G. w. Rentz,
Jr., who secured the necessary num-
Der of guarantors. Thirty gentlemen
combined their signatures to guaran'
tee the chautauqua people S1,25O for
| the return engagement next year.
Only 25 signatures were necessary.
The Redpath chautauqua bureau
has given the people of Bamberg five
days of excellent entertainment, and
while some of the people feel that
the times are too stringent for the
expenditure of such large sum for
entertainment, it seems t. be the pre-
vailing majority of opinion that it is
money we'll spent, in that it provides
high class entertainment that is ele-
waiting and helpful to the community.
The programme rendered during
the FIVE DAYS was one of variety and
provided entertainment for all classes
of entertainment-seeker There were
classic numbers, light operates, jazz
music, humorous selections, serious
lectures, and wide variety of musi-
cal numbers. If there was number
that did not appeal to all, there was
a number to take its place, and it is
safe to say that the vast majority OF
patrons of the chautauqua were de-
cidedly of the opinion that they re-
ceived their moneys worth.
The first afternoons entertainment
consisted of a concert by four young
ladies, who rendered variety pro-
gramme of classical and popular Sc
lections. The same evening another
concert was given followed by lec-
ture by George L. McNut.
Thursdays programme consisted Of
recital of classical numbers by the
Stolofsky company, and in the even
ing another prelude by the same COM
pany and a lecture by Harry L. Fogle-
man. Miss Stolofsky was undoubted-
ly the finest violinist ever heard in
Bamberg, and her renditions were en-
joyed immensely by all classical mu-
sic lovers The lecture by Gatling
Gun Fogleman was feature Of the
whole programme He spoke at the
rate of 800 words a minute for an
hour and a half, and electrified his
listeners with facts, figures and con-
clusions
Fridays programme brought Dun
bars hussars, a band organization
that cativated the people. The pro-
gramme was so varied that it suited
every taste. This was perhaps the
most versatile organization that has
ever entertained the people of the
town. 1t was in every way a most
worthy entertainment. In the after
noon Beulah Buck gave short pro-
gramme of readings and sketches.
Saturdays lecture by DR.. E. 7.
Hagerman was said by those who
heard it as being the finest lecture
ever heard in Bamberg. At night
comedy, Nothing But the Truth,
was given by a New York cast. The
comedy has been on the road for
many years, but it was new to most
of the hearers here, and was enjoyed
almost as much as '*It Pays to Ad-
vertise' was last year.
The concluding entertainment was
rendered by the yodlers and Miss
Bargelt, both of which were excel
lent numbers. Daddy Grobecker
inbedded himself firmly in the hearts
of the chautauqua patrons, and it is
safe to, say that if his company ever
returns to Bamberg it will meet with
a warm reception.
The childrens hour was very at
tractive feature of the entertainment
during the five days. Miss Ralston,
charming young woman, entertained
the little folks in a royal manner
every day.
