CHAUTAUQUA
STARTS WELL
Big Audiences Greet
SwarthmOre Entertainers
On First Day
Guarantors Find Deficit of S33S-TO-
days PrOgram-LOcal Talent to
Assist in Staging of Pageant

Charles Ross Taggart or The
Man from Vermont" or again "The
Old Country Fiddler" and the Yer
satile Six started off AleXandria's
Chautauqua program yesterday with
an abundance of good numbers, lots
of pep" and host of hearty laughs
The Versatile Six provided the af-
ternoon's entertainment, after Chest
er A. Gwinn, acting chairman of the
guarantors, and Arthur q. South
wick. superintendent of the Chautau-
qua, had addressed the unusually
large audience.
And again at the night perform
ance this group of six talented and
trained entertainers played, sang,
cartooned. recited and entertained in
almost every conceivable manner;
but the feature of the evening was
Mr. Taggart and his many novel
forms of entertainment. This man, a
wizard with the fiddle, we'll known
wherever the Victrola is, delighted
his hearers with humorous stories of
New England country life, piano re-
citals just bubbling with mirth and
the pranks he made his violin play, as
we'll as with a highly entertaining
act in ventriloquism. He could make
his fiddle do many heretofore un-
heard of tricks; play anywhere and
anything. 1t would play backward
or forward, up or down, at his should
er or under his arm in front Of him
or behind him. He reached his eli
max when he converted his instru-
ment into the church pipe organ and
played the DOxology with a volume
equal to any organ.
Today, the program promises to be
as good as that of yesterday If, IN
fact, it will not be better. The Ernest
Gamble Concert Party will furnish
music this afternoon and tonight. At
the afternoon performance. Beryl
Buckley will deliver a dramatic read
ing. In Walked Jimmie" This young
lady has put her very life into the
study of her work and is well pre-
pared to give to the patrons some
high class entertainment.
Tonight, directly following the con-
cert which is TO begin promptly at x
o'clock, Julius Caesar Nayphe, as
sisted by several young ladies of
the city will present his instructive
and entertaining Oriental Pageant.
At a meeting of the guarantors
which was held directly following the
program last night, it was found
that $338 Of the $500 guaranteed
had not been raised. This deficit will
be made up by the guarantors. Sea
son tickets did not sell as vel! as
they should have in the opinion of
the guarantors, More than $500 worth
of tickets were sold during yester-
day. No more season tickets will be
available and each performance have
to be purchased separately from now
until the end of the run in this city.
This is required since the guarantorS'
contract read that all money taken
in after the opening show should go
directly to the Swarthmore Chautau-
qua Association and the guarantors
could not claim credit for funds thus
received.

would basely deceive a hard working,
honest hold-up man, by venturlng out
without any cash on his person. Finally
