association as it is the tenth anniver.
sary of the establishing of their Chau-
tanqua business iii the west. To build
program which would fittingly ccle-
brafe this happy event was evidently in
the mind of the Ellison-White manage
ment when the program for the coming
season was arranged. The dates for the
Chautauqua have been definitely set
Tor Nav i1th to 18th.
Heading the lecture list is Opie Read,
q prominent platformist whom the Eli
SON White people have been trying for
the past five years to secure for tour
of their Western Chautauquas. Opie
Read is like no one else in the world.
Perhaps you have enjoyed his books,
been stirred by his plays, or spent happy
lours in the reading of his clever char
acter sketches, but unless YOU have sat
within the sound of his voice and heard
from his own lips the quaint tales that
originate in his brain, you do not fully
appreciate the splendid genius of the
man.
The sixth night of Chautauqua will
be one OF the most important of the en-
tire series. On that night comes DIR.
Elmer Lynn Williams, fighting par
SOM of Chicago, in his famous lecture,
The Big Came Boodlers, gamblers
and dive keepers on Chicago S famous
''north side' know and hate DIR. Elmer
Lynn Williams. They hate him because
he is one of the bitterest foes graft and
corruption ever had. In his fight in
clearing mp vice and crime in Chicago IS
loop district, he was given the name
of ''fighting parson.'' DIR. Williams
was formerly pastor of one of the larg
est churches in Chicago and comes to
Chautauquas at the height of his orator
ical power with a message that is Wig
orous and vital.
Other prominent names found in the
list of lecturers are: Norman Allan
Imrie, who is described as a perfect
tornado Of eloquence,' using as his
lecture subject, ..Working Together for
Billions mastery exposition of the
Anglo-Saxon problems of the age; Edna
Eugenia Lowe, telling in an interesting
wav of some "Danger Signals on the
Road to Health,'' and J. C Herbsman,
a brilliant, rapid-fire lecturer viii dis
cuss ..Life's Balance Sheet.
Two entertainment features of the
week will be the wellknown play,
..Cappy Kicks dramatization of the

the Saturday Evening Post and were
read by millions; and an evening of
