noted man of letters will appear
before a Lynden audience and

Nature and Politics" an intensely
interesting discussion of men and
affairs. And Friday evening will
be the play, "Cappy Ricks."
Lynden's big Chautauqua was
opened Monday night by the Paul
Fleming Company and was at
tended by thoroughly appre-
ciative crowd, though not so
large as past years.
The director, Mr.. Cyril Nee
was introduced and gave brief
but interesting talk before intro
ducing the entertainers of the
evening.
Paul Fleming, the magician,
and his assistants, certainly made
good with their performance
keeping the audience in state of
wonder and admiration during
the entire evening.
Tuesday evening the prelude
was delightfully."- given by the
Stearns-Hellekson Trio. an or
ganization of real musical merit.
Miss Eugenia Lowe completed
the afternoons program with a
splendid lecture, the subject of
which was Danger Signals on
the Road to Health. Miss Lowe
has written a book on this sub
ject which is now being used as
a text book in the public schools
of some of the states.
Miss Frances Ingram, grand
opera singer, made her first ap-
pearance before a Lynden aud
ience Tuesday evening. She be-
gan her performance by giving
a few of the heavier operate
numbers. Then she turned to
some OF the old familiar melodies
such as "Swanee River" "Old
Black Joe" and Home Sweet
home. That Miss Ingram has a
charming voice, a pleasing per-
sonality and a wonderful stage
presence there is no question, and
her performance Tuesday even
ing ranks with the best of great
artists who have appeared in this
part of the country. She was
most ably assisted by the Stearns
Hellekson Trio, who also gave
some delightful solo numbers
during the evening.
Wednesday afternoon the Pat
ton Brothers, Lowell, tenor and
accompanies; Donald. bass; and
Gault, baritone, gave a musical
entertainment that was distinctly
original as well as entertaining.
In the evening the Patton Bro
theirs again gave short perfor-
nance before the appearance OF
the lecturer of the evening Nor
man Allen Imrie, whose lecture,
Working Together for Millions
was one of the greatest treats OF

a powerful speaker and puts ac-
ross his interesting message with
a force that is very effective.
