CHAUTAUQUA HAS BEEN
INSPIRATION, SUCCESS
Six-Day Program Of Ellison-White Well
Attended.-Musieal Numbers and Lee
lures Given Are of High 0rder.-Last
Number By New York City Male Quar-
tette Tonight.

With the programs Of to-day, the six
days Of Heppner's big Chautauqua will
pass. They have been days Of genuine
entertainment to the large audiences at
the big tent, and so far as we are able
to judge not a number Of the list of
twelve attractions so far rendered has
been in the least disappointing. The
program was well balanced and the
Chautauqua this week has been drawing
fine crowds, demonstrating the fact that
our people fully appreciate entertain
ment Of this high order.
The Steelman- n-Marriner-Taylor trio
opened the program on Saturday after
noon and this was followed by the or
ganization of the Junior Chautauqua. In
the evening the trio gave concert pre-
lude and this was followed by character
studies by A. Mather Hilburn, the mas
ter entertainer and prince Of funsters.
This program was particularly we'll en-
ioyed.
The Glen L. Morris company appear
ed on both the Sunday afternoon and
Sunday evening programs and present
ed to the Chautauquans his wonderful
experiments and tricks in electricity.
Mr.. Morris appeared in Heppner last
season and his entertainment was just
as much enjoyed on this visit as it was
the first. Following Mr.. Morris in the
afternoon was Margaret Garrison, gifted
reader and entertainer, pronounced to
be one Of hte best in this line on the
circuit. As a gloom dispeller she is
certainly a success, and demonstrated
this fact in spite of the disagreeably
warm weather of Sunday afternoon.
Private" Harold Peat was on for the
lecture Sunday evening, his subject be-
ing Introducing Your Neighbor," and
he came with real message on interna-
tional relationships, giving our folks an
insight as to the real feeling existing
between his native country, Canada, and
the United States. The International
line is getting to be more and more i'm
aginary as he looks at it. He presented
sensible and workable ideas and placed
his everlasting condemnation on war
and the war program. His lecture can
not fail of doing much good.
In fact the entire lecture program has
been of the highest order. Arthur
Walwyn Evans, DR.. Lydia Allen De Viii
bliss and Chancellor George H. Bradford
are each in class by themselves. Mr..
Evans had for his subject, "Let There
Be Light" and there was nothing dull
or provincial in the two hours of talk
that came forth from him. 1t was full
of entertaining stories and brilliant ora
tory. He was here the third night. DR..
De vilbiss, prominent New York physi-
clan, entertained with a health lecture
of much interest to women and children,
and Chancellor Bradford on "This Way
Up" gave lecture on the value of prop
er education. 1t was an uplifting and
forceful discourse, and delivered in
simple manner and was easily grasped
by the boys and girls as we'll as the old
er folks.
The Jugo-Slav Tamburicans were a
stellar attraction and on Tuesday eve
ming the play, "Tun to the Right" was
the big drawing card and received high
praise. 1t was presented by the Keigh-
ley Broadway players.
The Chautauqua, as stated above has
been great success and Ellison White
have delivered the goods in both talent
and program and there is no complaint.
Whether we shall have Chautauqua next
year is now being decided by the sign
ing of the guarantee. Pledges were tax
en- Tuesday evening for season tickets
and aobut half the required amount
signed up. This is not any too encour-
aging, but it looks now as though the
guarantee would receive the necessary
number of signatures to bring the Chau-
tauqua here next season.
