In selecting plays for Chautauqua
presentation, it is necessary to keep
in mind the likes and dislikes Of
Chautauqua patrons. 1.-THE Fool, ;"
which is the opening night attrac-
ton at this years Chautauqua, is
not only marvellous play from the
dramatic standpoint and one of the
most successful Broadway hits in
recent years, but its theme is one
OF fundamental appeal to all of the
millions of Americans who believe
that the church and religion have
a dominant place in modern life.
1t is a vigorous, hard-hitting, in
tensely dramatic story with excite
ment and thrills running all the
way through it. 1t is keen and sin
cere and uncommonly human in its
dealing with modern situation.
sche story centers around a young
minister who finds himself in
position where he is forced to cater
to the dictates of his influential
and rich members or preach the
New Testament doctrine of service
to mankind. In his determination
to do the latter, he loses his Job,
his sweetheart, and he is then
called "The FooP'-5ut that is tell
ing the story. The play starts in
an eastern city and then shifts to
the coal fields and back to the city.
1t includes the rich industrial
baron and his daughter as well as
the labor agitator and the dissolute
habitues Of a settlement mission.

Pope in one of his moral ESSAYS
once declared that Light quirks of
music, broken and uneven, makes
the soul dance upon a Jig to
heaven" LongfeIlow said that ssAku-
sic is the universal language Of
mankind" Shakespeare's ideas on
the subject OF music and it's uni
versal appeal are stated in the ia
nous epigram, "That the man who
hath no music in himself, nor is
not moved with concord of sweet
sounds is fit for treason, strate-
gems and spofIg.'
Certain It Is that music is COM
ing into It's own in America as
never before. The universal appeal
OF good music has been promoted
by talking machines, radio, and the
ability Of the people generally to
hear more good concerts than at
any previous time in American his

The Chautauqua movement has
had a large part in promoting the
taste for good music and the 1927

Washington-Eight years of "lib-
eral conservatism" having brought
only woe and disaster to the Demo-
cratic party, its leaders are being adj
vlsed to polish up a shiny tinplate
armor of "radicalism" to catch votes
In 1928. This advice comes from none
other than David Lawrence, president
of the United States Daily and re-
garded as very close to Calvin Cool
idge.
Lawrence sees "radicalism develop
ing west of the Alleghenies" and
urges the Democrats to reap the har-
vest by taking up the cry of the far
mers and the smaller business men
He sees any number of inviting is

With every prospect of the Demo-

Chautauqua, this year, will have
two programs by this famous or
ganization, which is known through
out the country.
The programs given by the Has
kell Band will illustrate the prog
ress made in culture by the Indian
people. There will be war dances
and Indian music played after the
primitive fashion and other parts
of the program illustrating Indian
methods of living before they had
an opportunity at civilization.
By way Of contrast another Sec
ton of the program will be given
in modern dress and playing mod

The two programs to be given by
the Haskell Band will be interest
