CHAUTAUQUA IS
WELL ATTENDED

The Chautauqua is on in full blast
having begun its five days program
of high class entertainment on Tues
day afternoon. The Ellison White
Association is maintaining it's fine
record of giving its patrons a clean
uplifting, high grade program. Up
to the present the entertainers have
included Ward Waters and Company
who gave two splendid entertain
ments on Tuesday, the one in the
evening being especially good. Mr..
Waters proved himself a real artist
in his work as an impersOnator, and
he was well supported by the two
young lady members of his company.
Miss McNett won a storm of ap-
plause by her zylophone playing,
while the soprano, whose name has
slipped from US, sang very sweetly.
All did good work in two short plays
which they gave together.
The Artels Dickson Concert Com
pany, all musicians of great merit
gave a fine program on Wednesday
afternoon, and a splendid prelude in
the evening. Mr.. Dickson has a
baretOne voice of excellent quality
and uses it well in a variety of songs
including ballads, negro spirituals,
scotch songs. Martha Dickson is a
pianist of much ability as shown by
her playing and accompanying, while
Alice Raymond gave evidence of
being real artist ON the violin.
Their group numbers were especial
ly good.
The big event of Wednesdays pro-
gram was the lecture by Harold
Drix fo
on "The Inexcusable Lie of the Cen
fury" in which he arraigued the ex-
cuse for war as an inexcusable lie
Mr. Peat had bitter experience in
war, went over the top, was wound
ed and put out of commission for
the rest of the war, so he knows what
he is talking about when he
talks on war He has a fine person.
ality, a wonderful fund of wit, and
gives his audience something serious
to think about as well as something
to entertain them.
Thursdays program included a
program of music and two one act
plays by the National Players which
is a trio of rare merit Their act
ing and music were both of a high
class. The Shepherd of the Hills
was the great event of the evening
and gave great delight to the large
audience. The players showed fine
ability and splendid training.
The two days of the chautauqua
still remaining have other fine things
in store for the patrons of it. Today
the Jugo Slav orchestra will furnish
a unique program of music and to-
night DR.. +. e. Gordon will give a
fine lecture on Shooting the Goal"
Dr. Gordon has a fine reputation as
a lecturer, and should have a large
hearing. Tomorrow, the closing day
of the chautauqua, will be replete
with good things. In the afternoon
and evening prelude, Ruth Linard
will delight the audience with her
big Harp, and in the evening the
great magician, Mcdonald Burch,
will deceive the very elect with his
works of magic The big circus will
come in the afternoon program.
Mr.. Werts the platform manager
has made fine impression and is
we'll liked, and the Junior Director
has worked hard with the little folks
in the telling of stories and the pre-
paration for the circus. Altogether
it has been fine chautauqua and
thanks and appreciation is due the
guarantors as well as to the Ellison
White Company for the fine program
they have afforded US We hope to
have them again next year.
