Fine Lecture First
Night Program of
ChautauQua Show

Charles A. Plattenburg, newspaper
.. man and community builder, was the
speaker at the first night performance
or the Chautauqua which opened in
the big tent on Monument Park yester-
day afternoon for the coming week.
The subject of Mr.. Plattenburg's
talk was "A Modern Tale of Two
Cities" and it dealt largely with the
building up of the small community
as distinguished from the large city.
Because of this his address was of par
ticular interest to the thousand people
who filled the tent.
The speaker said that the tendency
of the present was for the younger
generation to rush to the city as soon
as 1t had reached a sufficient age to
leave home. This he thought was
wrong and he maintained that the
| smaller cities hold just as promising
futures as do the metropolises.
Mr.. Plattenburg stressed the fact
that a towns merchants are one of
its most important factors and that
they are largely responsible for its
growth. He told the audience that 1t
was the duty of the citizens of town
to do their shopping at home and not
| to resort to mail order houses or other
: concerns at a distance. In many in
otdHCcSp ne StdlSO, puiShdSih6 At hohic
can be done as cheaply as 1t can from
mail order houses.
Mr.. Plattenburg brought many Illus
| trations into his address and his hu-
NOR was rich and well chosen.
The speaker comes from Cedar Rap
ids, Ia, where as a newspaper editor
he made a reputation as public
speaker. Gradually his reputation
spread beyond his home city and he
delivered addresses before many clubs
and chambers of commerce about Iowa.
He has been on the Chautauqua plat
form for a number of years.
The program last evening was open
ed by a short concert by the Royal
Blue Marimba Band and the members
of that organization pleased the audi
ence as highly as they did in the aft
ernoon. The members of the band are
Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen, Miss Armina
Wilson and Misses Janet and Ger
trude Erickson.
The program consisted of a number
OF selections on the neutrality-suspicious. and
a medley of grand operate airs was
very pleasing. A cornet and from
hone duet and a recitation were also
roundly applauded.
This afternoon at $50 O'Clock Frank
L. Holman will give his famous taiK
on and demonstration of pigeons. HIS
discussion of the part the birds played
In the World War is inspiring to the
extreme and his talk will be wen
worth hearing. especially for the chill
dren.
In the evening at o'clock an oper-
attic company will present Victor Her.
bert's beautiful opera "Sweethearts.
The cast is large and well selected
and although the story is old 1T mas
decidedly new twist. The opera Is
picturesquely costumed and has a
scenic background that is colorful ana
romantic. The appearance of the IN
imitable comedian Lee DAILY is enough
in itself to assure performance
which one cannot well afford to miss.
