the mollusc he found an animal OF a
kindred nature, hence "The Mollusc"

character that they use force to re-
sist the effects OF friendly efforts to

The other Of the two dramatic Of
ferings OF the Chautauqua program
is Tommy" which, is as clean and
wholesome as It Is irresistibly funny
and genuine. The story revolves
about youthful triangle. two mis-
understanding parents and wise,
far-seeing uncle. The problem Is
one that might arise In any modern
American family. The manner in
which it arises in Tommy and the
fashion in which It follows to q
happy ending represents an illustra-
tion of the most brilliant writing on,
the stage today.
A timely topic is announced as the
lecture feature of the second night
of the ChautauQua. DR.. Wm. u.
Bohn will speak on ''You and and
the Crime Wave" DR.. Bohn is per-
haps best known here as the director

ed but he came into Chautauqua
work first as a lecturer on the west
ern circuit.
Noah Beilharz, the noted 1mper-
senator and <characterist, appears

said that the bag does not contain
all the aids usually employed by SIM
liar artists but carries only wigs and
costumes. Mr.. Beilharz depends on
his remarkable facial expressions to
get the effects often secured by the
use Of grease, paints and powder.
Fun, Fiction and Filosophyn is
the title Mr.. Beilharz has chosen for
his program, altho he has announc-
ed that he will give the "Hoosfer
Schoolmaster' as an alternate pro-
