Mrs. Winnifred 3. Cook, a Redpath
field manager. attended, the meeting
and told of the program which has
been made out for this year and
which appears to be well balanced,
entertaining and instructive.
In the first place, the morning lee
lures are discontinued and the money
they formerly cost has been used to
strengthen the evening numbers.
Season tickets will cost only $2.25
as usual with no war tax and three
single admissions will equal the cost
of a season ticket.
Entertainment Features
The big feature Of the entertain
ment part of the program is the
booking of two popular plays and a
light opera, any one of which would
cost more than the price of a season
ticket if one saw it other than at
Chautauqua. The comic opera is
Victor Herbert's "Sweethearts,"
which contains some of the most
catchy music ever written. The two
plays are, $50 This is London" and
Adam and Eva"
There will be music every day,
music always being featured by Red
path. Elsie Baker, who is already
favorably known to many local music
lovers will appear on one of the days
and with her will be Grover Tilden
Davis, the tenor and composer.
The full program, easily one of the
best offered by Redpath, is as fol-
lows:
