STARTING MONDAY
Programs to Be Rendered at Five
Nightly Performances, Four at
the American Theatre and
One at the Nixon

The first news of the Chautauqua
Festival program for this year has
just been received here. That a
truly gala week is in store for the
lecture, music and entertainment
lovers is evident from these first re-
ports. The dates for Winnemucca
have been definitely set for October
29-November 2.
A fascinating musical picture in
which three dainty maids participate
on the last evening will be one of
the big musical features of the week.
The personnel consists of the Misses
Elizabeth and Kathryn Ralston and
Miss Miriams Frosch, artists on the
cello, violin and piano respectively.
In addition the young ladies are
gifted vocalists and do some clever
dramatic work. Elizabeth Ralston,
manager of the company, is 'cellist
of ability as well as soprano soloist,
and her sister gives some delightful
readings and contralto solos. Miss
Frosch is gifted violinist and her
solo work stands out as one of the
"highlights" of their program. Her
work has won favorable comment,
and critics have marked her for a
brilliant recital career.
The opening concert by the Her
rick-Loomis Duo will be full of de-
lightful surprises, for these two
people are perhaps the most ver-
satile entertainers on the Chautau-
qua platform today. Robert Her
rick's original impersonations of the
great pianists are considered by
severest critics the most authentic
his humorous negro songs and in
terpretations are sensations wher-
ever he appears and he is probably
the only man who is able to inter-
pref our leading feminine vocalists,
such as Cali Curci, Schuman-Heink
and Alma Gluck. His original
sketch Fun in Music Store" given
at the piano is a feature of every
program. Mabel Harriet LOOMS
has had several years experience in
concert work. She spent the past
two years travelling with Victor and
Edison tone-test artists. She has a
splendid lyric soprano voice and is
a graduate of Lombard College
Piano Department.
"The Mollusc," Hubert Henry
Davies charming comedy, will prob.
ably draw one of the largest crowd:
of the week. 1t has had several sue.
cessful seasons in London and New
York, and is credited by the press al
being a "jewel among comedies
1t will be presented by the Clark
Browne Players.
Another outstanding feature i,
to be found in the entertainment
of Harold Banta on the SECOND
night. He is a pleasing combination
of dramatic and musical ability. HI
Ids a opiSHdio Ddoo NOiSC anu a hIs
repertoire of songs. He is at hi
best, however, in his comedy sketcl
work, impersonating many types
while he chatters and illustrates hi
stories with cartoon work. He i
also an accomplished pianist an,
gives many clever musical mono
logues.
A message which every man an,
woman in the community shoul,
! hear will be presented on the fourtl
night by DR.. Henry Black Burns
His subject Chords and Discords,
, is a scholarly but intensely humal
, study of the crime problem. No
) from the standpoint of the peno
logist does he take his findings, no
q that of the reformer, but purely tn
!, physical causes of crime.
