OuCCcSS has marked Cne iCnauCduQua
programs thus, far.rrs. Each night a. large
and appresciiattii,Ye audience has packed the
Armory auditorium. 1t has seldom
been the fortune Of New Ulm people; to
listen to lectures by nationally and even
universally-known celebrities, and they
made the most Of the opportunities
offered them by the Chautauqua circuit.
The musical and lighter numbers were
delightfully."- rendered. @ .
On Friday, the opening night, the
Croatian Tamburica musicians intro
duced a native instrument, the tam
burica. The players did not seem to be
hampered by the fact that all the strings
were similarly strung, and they pro-
duced extremely pleasing music. Miss
Wilson spoke for short time on the ap-
probation, and Interpretation of music,
demonstrating during the course Of her
speech by several classical selections on
the phonograph. g. s, J.. {,
The program opened .on Saturday
evening with selections on the violin and
piano by the Anderson Ring duo, Miss
Anderson delighted her audience with
several clever dramatizations. The
principal number was lecture delivered
by the Hon. Webster Davis, on ''The
Square Deal" Hespoke Of the necessity
of abolishing the exploitation Of labor by
capital and Capital by Labor so that
both might get a square deaP. The
public, he said, suffers as a consequence
of all the conflicts arising between them
through high prices on the part Of Capital
and strikes and sabotage on the part of
Labor. Capital and Labor, he said, are
inter-dependent. Both, are necessary,
and methods must be employed to In
sure a square deal'' for both organiiiza-
tions and the Public.
-a Polly of The Circus @
Sunday evenings offering was the
three act play Polly, Of the Circus. #
is one Of those appealing little love story
plays with a happy ending after the
pathos of a brave, remuneration, The
actors were we'll chosen and, handled
their parts very we'll in spite of the handi-
cap of working on stage too small for
their production. A large audience was
present and apparently, aB J, X thoroughly en-
joyed the entire production.
Splendid Music.
On Monday evening, Nine, Dora De
Philippe offered an opportunity for a
large number of lovers of music to enjoy
a well-selected and varied program.
Nine. De Philippe is a French soprano
of SURPRISING ability and the audience
was fully justified in all their expecta
tions. She has powerful dramatic
soprano voice, and her Interpretation
won for her an appreciative demonstra-
tion and she was loudly and heartily ap-
plauded. Nine. De Philippe won
favor thru her appealing and unaffected
style; and the listeners became more
enraptulrsed as her h! program progressed g
Chautauqua is indeed fortunate ,t4c
have this grand opera star, and the
pianist, James O'Connor who accom-.
panied her in program Of widely loveG
concert songs, Mr, o'Conqp9r Csoon1qp p. il a
artist OF unusual talent, and delighted
the audience with several solos.
The rest Of the Monday evening pro
gram consisted Of the .Wm. j., Bryal
address which is reported elsewhere il
this issue. j. ts..s.
