The Chautauqua Program
The program sent to Mr.. Coquillette.
Chautauqua Secretary, by the White
and Myers Chautaugua System, assur-
es us of a great Chautauqua, probably
the finest that has come to our city.
Mr.. Bryan will be with us delivering
his much discussed lecture "The
Worlds Greatest Need"
Again we are to have a New York
Play. This year Ii will be "Polly of
the Circus" which has been produced
in New York by Mr.. Richard Carlyle.
We remember him as the producer of
Peg % My Heart" the play that SO
was so greatly enjoyed on this circuit
two years ago, and of Friendly En-
emies" which pleased so thoroughly
last summer. Mr.. Carlyle will be i'm
the cast this summer, playing the part
of John Douglas, the minister. Polly
of the Circus" was a great hit on
Broadway. 1t should be a big success
here.
Musically the program seems Of a
very high standard. The Croatian
Tamburica Orchestra comes the OPEN
ing day with an excellent afternoon
and evening program. It Is a string
orchestra of six Tamburicas, ranging
in size and tone from the small Bis
cernica to the large bass bugarija.
Since coming to America following
their appearance at the Paris EXPOSE
ton. this company has played extend
ed engagements in the largest cities
OF the country as well as several sea-
sons on Chautauqua. All are excel
lent musicians and their ensemble eff
fects are unusually 1nc.
The Anderson-Rin Duo composed
of Mary Ellen Anderson. entertainer,
pianisA. piano-accordionist, and Lui
Ring, tenor and violinist, Is as versa
tile and capable a small company as
plays on Chautauqua.
The star attraction unsteady will
be Madame Dora dePhillipe, soprano
for five seasons with the Chicago
Grand Opera Company. Madam De
PHILIPPE sang the leading role in many
operas for the Chicago Company. in
Guiding many of the French operas
and some of the English operas, such
as Madame Butterfly" In her con-
cert with us Madame De PHILIPPE will
be accompanied by Mr.. James O'Con-
nor at the piano, who has been her
accompanist on concert tours for the
last several years, Madame De Phil
lipe Is possessed of a voice Of beau
tiful quality and come to US at the
height of her professional caseer.
The most popular of the seasons
musical attractions will probably be
The Mascot a comic light opera
presented by a professional company
of eighteen, including principals, sing
ing chorus and playing orchestra OF
six. The music OF 1.-THE Mascot" Is
very tuneful, the plot Is interesting
and the comedy very amusing. "The
Mascot" will probably combine the in
terest that all have in the play as well
az the added interest of the music.
The company will be produced by
Ralph Dunbar, who has made a big
reputation in the last several years
in his light opera companies touring
the big cities. We are promised q
high class, strictly professional COM
pany, and this is said to be the largest
company in point of numbers and cost
of production that is touring the Chau
tauqua this summer.
Howard Russell comes the closing
day with his "Song Revue" He is a
well known Canadian baritone and
sings a great variety ol sonBss edCn

propriate manner and costume. Mr.,
