children taking part as well as those
who instructed them
The real fun of the afternoon came, |
however, when Walter Havelock, the
clown. poked his head through the cur
tain and with whoop said he would
be out on the stage in a minute. Mr..
Havelock put on a wonderful show. Not
only must he be accredited with mas
tershlp IN his profession. but he has an
appeal which reaches right out to his
audience, and he made the children feel
that they We're just as much part OF
the show as he was In fact he had six
or seven CT the boys 90 up on the stage
with INN and proceeded to make clowns
out of them to the greater lov OF the
children in the. audience. IL should be
mentioned here also that many of his
tricks We're extremely clever and were
the result of much study and careful
experience. Many of his antics were so
genuinely funny that at times pande
monium actually ran riot in the tent
and the walls of the structure fairly
trembled with the laughter and applause
on the part of the audience.
The evening performance was seen by
q crowd of enthusiastic ChautauQuans
that nearly filled the tent. Not only
was the program an extremely generous
one but the method of presentation was
decidedly unique, iii that the illustrated
lecture by Miss Clemens was inter
spersed by actual motion pictures taken
| in the Hawaiian Islands. and i'll addition
there was the musical and vocal selec-
tions by Miss Clemens's troup of real
Hawaiians, who were the big attraction
OF the evening,
The musical program comprised native
singing, dancing and Instrumental music
blended into a most, artistic whole. The
effect was tastefully enhanced by
scenic drop used as a background and
depicted a scene in Hawaii, supplemented
/ by cOlored effects which made the per-
| Torrance not only novel but hauntinglY
fascinating. There was peculiar charm
4 about the Hawaiian music as rendered
! by these artists and they were Obliged
/ again and again to respond to encores

| audience with her from the moment she

actual scenes taken at the rim of the

Some OF the scenes were taken by eX-
/ tremely hazardous means, as the camera
1 man had to be lowered by rope down
the steep declivities over the bed of the

/ only make q large contribution TO the
! interest of science, but also provide
1 knowledge of high educational value to

/ Clemens has rightly named the Ha-
waiian Islands the Paradise of the Pa

There was an intermission in the mid

| opportunity to address the audience on
the matter of the progress reached in
| securing the 80 guarantors necessary
| for Chautauqua. if Brattleboro is to have
| it in 1923. Mr.. Durham asked those
