CHAUTAUQUA
JUNE 1918
ADVANCE LITERATURE IN.
FORMS US THAT TALENT
IS BEST EVER.

The tenth anniversary pro-
gram of the Ellison-White Ly-
ceum and Chautauqua Associa-
ton gives promise of being one
qualified to properly celebrate
this 1922 season-the tenth year
of Ellison-White service in the
West. The dates for the Cot
tonwood chautauqua are June
Is to 10.
In bringing the much discus
sed comedy Turn to the Right"
to this city, Chautauqua is help
ing materially in fulfilling its
mission of community uplift,
for, paradoxical as it may seem,
this great play is also a powerful
sermon that is welding an in
fluence for good wherever it is
given. 1t is the play of plays
for American audiences - or
audiences anywhere, in fact. 1t
strikes home with everybody,
for it has to do with the redemp-
ton of rather wild youngster,
through the fine influence of an
old-fashioned Christian mother.
It's the sweetest, most whole
some play of decade and the
Keighley Broadway Players will
give a splendid Interpretation of
it with an exceptionally fine cast
of players.
The lecture list this year is
particularly attractive, for the
names of some of the best known
and ablest platform stars of
America add the finishing
touches to program that liter
ally sparkles with really inter-
esting, worthwhile features. The
Importance ard the worth of a
strong lecture list was never
more clearly emphasized than in
the letter from President Hard
ing written in October last, call
ing upon the chautauqua lectur-
ers of America to cooperate
with him in the development of a
sane public opinion in America.
Ellison-White seem to have
caught the spirit for they are
sending a group of noted men
with interesting, destructive in
spring, and yet sane, messages
of vital import.
Chancellor Bradford's lecture
appearance is in itself a noted
event. lie is one of the BRAIN
lest, ablest and most eloquent
speakers in America and he will
give his great classic of the
chautauqua platform, This Way
Up" Also should be mentioned,
Arthur Walwyn Evans, admit
tedly one of the lecture stars of
the modern platform, sane,
scholarly, brilliant; and Harold
Private) Peat will give Intro
ducing your Neighbor," a lecture
full of sparkling wit and sound
common sense.
The entertainment and music
list features some fine attrac-
tions that will make their initial
bow to Western audiences this
season, and which will undoubt-
edly win for themselves the un-
stinted praise which has followed
their recital work in the east.
Chief among these should be
mentioned the Steelman-Mar-
riner-Taylor Trio, noted group
of eastern artists; the Jugo-Slav
Tamburicans, a distinct and
most delightful novelty in the
orchestral line; the Batting
Mailer Duo, entertainers; A,
Mather Hilburn, wig and grease
paint artist; Margaret Garrison
dramatic interpreter.
The electrical entertainment
of the Glenn l.. Morris Company
is another unusual feature which
promises to be intensely inter.
ssting. In fact there are SC
many good things in store that
it is indeed difficult to pick OF
any one attraction for especia
emphasis. A real" assembly i.
promised and the "big brown
top" will indeed be a busy place
for six big, joyous days.
