PUT
PEP IN PROGRAM
Chautauqua Starts with fine
Opening Number-Sat-
urday is Big Night


Chautauqua got off to snappy
start this afternoon when Patton
Brothers entertained with a rollick-
ing program of song and instrumental
music. They will entertain again this
evening with longer and more elab-
crate program. Lowell Patton, the
leader of the trio is making his third
appearance on the local Chautauuua
platform. He is an accomplished and
clever entertainer and each time he
comes he brings new delights for the
Chautauqua goers. This year he is
ably assisted by his two brothers,
Donald, who was here two years ago
and Gault. All three are fine fellows,
with an abundance of personality,
pep and talent, and withal are ideal
trail-blazers for Chautauqua week.
Opening day presents one of the
two variations from the published
program. The children's Magic Lun-
ar Circus scheduled for opening af-
ternoon will be given Monday after
noon With the closing Of schools in
Chautauqua towns the management
found it impractical to stage the cir
Gus opening day. The juniors were
organized this afternoon by Miss
Katherine Livingstone, junior super
visor, and training for the circus will
start tomorrow at thirty.
Tomorrow afternoon the Lewis Con-
cert Party will give an artists recital
and in the evening prelude to Nor
man Allan Imrie's lecture working
Together for Billions"
Saturday will be the big day of the
six. In the afternoon D. Pirie Beyea
will lecture on "The Four Corner
stones of Citizenship" This is said
to be one of the strongest lectures
on the program and many regrets are
expressed that it is not an evening
attraction. AS many business men
as possible are urged to hear Mrs.
Beyea. Saturday evening is play
night with the Keighley and Peffer
players presenting Harold Bell
Wright's shepherd of the Hills"
This is said to be "a better play and
stronger cast than "It Pays to Ad-
vertise," or "Turn to the Right" both
of which went over big here.
Sunday afternoon and evening pro-
grams will be given by the Oceanic
Quintet. This is the premier musical
attraction on this years program.
Since they come here Sunday both
programs will be of sacred nature.
Evening services have been cancelled
in the Baptist and Methodist churches.
Monday afternoon the kiddies will
entertain with their wonderful circus
and in the evening DR.. Henry Gaines
Hawn will give his lecture, "The Soul
of Things" This will be preceded
by prelude by the Lombard Enter
tainers.
Tuesday, closing day, Norman V.
Pearce will give his wonderfully fas-
cinating lecture on Australia in the
evening instead of afternoon. The af-
ternoon program will be given by the
Garner Jubilee Singers, who were
here last winter on Lyceum. In the
evening they will give short pro-
gram before the lecture.
Contrary to expectations the season
ticket sale has not been so brisk as
last wear. The excuse given is that
everybody is too busy to take it ali IN.
Yet the single admission price OF the
three evening numbers equals the
season ticket price for the entire IL
and the season tickets are transfer
rable among members of the same
family. Superintendent Guy Young,
who is back again this year, has al
lowed the local committee to continue
the season ticket sale until the guar
antee is reached. 1t isn't too late yet
to buy at Gascoigne & Fyfe's or vlb-
ber-G -Gifford's Drug Store.
