CHAPMAN Concert

Every music lover has attended
concerts where there was one real
artist and the other persons heard
would be merely filters. In this kind
Of a program the listeners merely
run through the program and wait
patiently or otherwise for the star
to appear. How much pleasanter it
is to go to q concert where each
number Is given by a musician whose
work is worthy of our best attention
and appreciation. The program to
be offered at the Chapman Concert
at the Penney Memorial Church,
things and the artists are all they
should be, really great musicians.
Mr.. Kola I4evienne. the world-re-
nowned Cellist who will appear, has
had wonderful experience in tour
ing with the great Chaliapin all over
the United States, where he has
shared honors with the highest
priced artists in the world. Miss
Lottice Howell, Lyric Soprano from
the New York Opera Company, is a
fit companion artist with Mr.. Le-
vienne. Her voice is one which re-
spends to every demand made upon
it. Mr.. Chapmans work at the
piano needs no comment, and he will
accompany these artists. 1t surely
is a privilege to have such a concert
brought right to us and at a price
within reach of all. Tickets on sale

QUIET CAMPAIGN
cor c. Membership
PROVING effective

The work of the Augusta Chamber
OF Commerce during the past three
years evidently has the endorsement
of the present membership, judging
by the favorable reports that are
coming in from the members of the
membership committee who are con-
Quoting the renewal campaign this
week. There are many new mem
bers signing up who have never be-
fore had a part in the work of the
Chamber OF Commerce but who now
feel that they wish to share in the
work of an organization which has
as its fundamental purpose the bet
.terment of their community.
The work of signing up the plural
members is in the hands of a special
committee, composed of. Earnest A.
Gray, Chairman, Milton o. Dean and
Willis +. Swift. This committee has
not vet made it's report but unoffi-
cial reports from members of the
committee indicate that the plurals
will renew without exception.
The plan of campaign is different
than that used in 1920 when large
sums of community money, after
wards derived from the membership,
were expended for the campaign. In
place of this everything is now di-
rcctcd from the Chamber of Com
rlerce office without glamour and
with no expenditure of funds except
for such simple printed matter as
may be necessary. $50 copies of the
Secretary's three-y years report have
been mailed to Augusta citizens and
it is very gratifying to note that
men are signing up to a certain ex-
tent without further solicitation.
They recognize that the Chamber of
Commerce is a worthwhile institu-

Tracy, Margaret Wyman and Bar

promises to be one Of the big events.

nymphs and a flower and butterfly
dance. Clowns will sell balloons,
and an old woman will have myster-
ious pockets filled with grabs The
ceremonies begin at 3 o'clock. and
the money received will be for the
