afternoon with the Nevin Concert
Company as the opening attraction
and these four young ladies did not
fail to live up to expectations. Their
program, both afternoon and evening,
was one Of interest to the audience
and the many encores the company
was forced to give attested to its
popularity. ]. Franklin Caveny in
his chalk and clay talk that closed
the opening day program was a de-
cided hit with the audience. He prov
ed himself cartoonist of ability and
his work was unusually clever.
Yesterday afternoon the Gretchen
Cox Concert Company occupied the
program and another delightful mus
ical treat was given. Miss Cox prov
ed to be one of the most talented
violinists who has ever been to this
city and her supporting cast, Archie
N. Jones, baritone and Miss Cleo

Mr. Jones has a pleasing baritone
voice and each of his selections called
for an encore.

the most vital questions arising out
of the late war will be the offering
of the Redpath Kingstree Chautau-

every number has found interest in
creasing.

national reputation and the program
is so arranged as to be pleasing to
all, consisting of both classical music
and lighter and popular numbers.
Mr.. Cox in his impersonations is said
to be one of the big features of the
Redpath circuit and his appearance
elsewhere has been the source of
great delight.
The comedy Friendly Enemies is
to be presented here by an entire New
York cast of artists and is the equal
of the company that gave this pro-

New York, Chicago, Boston, Cincin-
natl and other larger cities and
throughout the Redpath circuit this
year the company has been received
in most pleasing manner. Each Of
the cast is an artist and seldom has
Kingstree been given such an oppor-
tunity as that afforded Friday mig

dren's story hour periods was given
with Stephani Schutze as the enter
tainer and his dramatic rendition of

Art in Story Telling. The National
Male Quartette gave their first pro-
gram here and proved an instant hit.
To overlook the lecture of Edward
Amherst OFT on "Victory" that clos
ed the second day program, would be
to serve a meal without desert. MIR.

portance at this time, that of citi-
zens duty 70 his country and his ap-
