chagrined at the memory of
the protests against allowing

Diener lost on technical

necessary for knockout.

NEW YORK, Dec. f3.-The New

played Santa Claus to Jimmy Stat
terry and Lou Scozza Tuesday by
announcing that the winner Of a
bout-if any-between the two Buff
falo fighters would be recognized as
the official light heavyweight cham
pion Of the world.
Slattery was declared to have ad-
vanced to the rank Of championship
contender because of his recent vic
tory over Make Rosenbloom o. New

place because he won on foul
from George Courtney of Oklahoma.
The fact that Slattery previously
was knocked out by James J. Brad

apparently had no influence on the
commission Rosenbloom, Okun,

JUNIOR TOWN BIG
FEATURE

Chautauqua week is the big week
of the year for the youngsters. The
committee bringing C~hautauqua
here has just received plans from
the headquarters Of the Associated
Chautauqua, saying that this years
Junior Town program is to be big
ger than ever.
The young folks will elect their
own mayor, the town clerk, the
news reporter, the law and order
commission, the service commission
and the health commissioners.
1t is expected there may be two
or more candidates for the various
offices, and that quite a campaign
will be waged. One day during
Chautauqua it is planned to have
the Junior Town offices administer
the city government, with the as
s%istance Of the regular officers.
The Superintendents on the cir
cult coming here are all ladies who
have had a special training in the
conduct of Fairgrounds and Junior
Town.
There will be picnics, hikes, par
ties, yells, stories, games, ETC., and
other special features that will
make it an eventful week for the
younger members of the commun-
ity.

The great New York success,
THE Detour," will be one of the at
fractions of Chautauqua. Its claim
for success, aside from its intrinsic
value, lies in the fact that its lines
and action portray a section of
American Life that is most univer-
sally known and appreciated. 1t is
a story of a small American Home.
The father is a small truck farm
er, beset by taxes and debts. His
all absorbing ambition is to secure
enough money to buy additional
land. The family therefore is con-
stantly in great need of the most
simple pleasures and Injuries OF
life.
The mother, who has been ambi-
tious in her youth for a career, has
centered her hearts affection and
her hopes upon her daughter. The
latter sometimes works in the vii
lage store and sometimes teaches
school.
The mother, through her own Ell
forts, has been able to. earn some
money from time to time, and the
two have labored and their COM

tious than the city banker, society
woman and other supposedly good
people.
After many vicissitudes and plans
she wins the election. The hus-
band is genuinely proud and every
body lives happily thereafter.
The cast playing The Cleanup"
is a thoroughly good one Each
member carefully selected as to
ability and type for the part.
There are two plays on this years
Chautauqua. THE Cleanup" being
given on the second night and The
Detour' on the closing night. Each
play has had long, successful runs
on Broadway and bring to the Chau-
tauqua audience the best in modern
drama and comedy. Local theater-
goers are promised a real treat dur
ing Chautauqua week.

bined savings have been kept in an
old jar in the house.
Finally the amount saved having
reached a certain sum, the mother
prepares to fulfill her hearts ambi-
ton of sending her daughter to the
city to study art. A tremendous
need for funds arises, however, and
the father for the first time learns
OF the existence of the money.
Now enters the lover in the per-
son of the young proprietor of a
garage, whose business has been
ruined by a detour, which has taken
the travel away from the highway
past his place.
The conflicting love between do
nestle life and ambition and again
between ambition and love, reaches
a nigh plane of dramatic action.
Very few dramas have so succeeded
IN stirring the emotions as has this.

interest lags and at the same time

FORMER RINGLING BROS.
CIRCUS BAND MAN TO

"We have appeared in every state
in the Unfon," said j. L. Alexander
in speaking of platform experience.
I'VE have played across Canada
from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Van

diences have varied from an all In

ton at Browning, Montana, to the
very exclusive Rotary Club of
Washington, D. c. We have seen
our audiences come in limousines in
the East, drawn by oxen in Ken
lucky and Mississippi, and on dog
sleds and snowshoes in Canada"
j. F. Alexander, who heads the
Alexander Novelty Four, has had a
life of action and varied experience
which has well prepared him to
head such a company. His career

For two years Mr.. Alexander was

However, he decided that this was
hardly the life he wished to con-
tinue and located at Ann Arbor,
Michigan. For eve years he was
a member of the University School

1t was here that he met Mrs. Alex

But the Gypsy fever again proved
fatal and the Alexanders returned
to the road. They were known as
the Musical Alexanders in Mo-
ments Musical" and for six years
played the principal vaudeville cir

Alexander concluded, land we i'm

Chautauqua is to have a recent
Broadway success as one of the
evening programs. 1.-THE Detour"
has been listed as one of the most
realistic plays of the past few years
and one is impressed by reason of
its tremendous sincerity. The play
is an arrangement of life as we
know it, rising out of human rela-
tionship. 1t Systematically discards
the machinery of theatricalism and
is starkly simple, but like all simple
things in life, it is able to carry
with it, rising out of character and
situation, real racy humor and prob

Maurlne Harper, who will appear
in n of the afternoon programs of
the Chautauqua, is ranked as one Of
the most versatile mimics on the
American platform. Miss Harper
plays a number of musical instru-
ments as well as impersonates
many animals and birds. She has
had a number of years experience
as an entertainer, often giving a
full evenings program alone. Her
dramatic ability is well established
and she is requested for return en-
gagements in a large number Of
towns she has visited.
On the program with Miss Har-
per is Earl Hannah, pianist and ac-
cordian player. Mr.. Hannah gives
several solos on a large piano &C
cordian as well as assists Miss Har-
per in several short sketches.
Their offerings are mostly riot
BUS comedy, but each gives an ar
tistic touch to some of our common
place things that brings a tug at
the heart, keeping their selections
out of the ordinary and making
their program a delightful after
moo of recreation.
Beautiful costumes are used,
which add to the charm of the pro-
gram and lend color to their setting.
Miss Harper's program is unique in
as much as one rarely has the op-
portunity of hearing a lady who is
possessed of real ability as an i'm
personator. She bias made numer-
GUS tours, appearing in the largest
cities, with entertaining companies
and as a sosoist. The program is a
joyous, eare-free group of the things
we all love to hear and is certain to
delight every individual listener.

Chautauqua has become the thea
ter of hundreds of American cities
where formerly travelling road
shows used to make an annual pill
grimage. During the past ten years
the Chautauqua movement has been
bringing better and better plays and
has been especially improving the
quality of acting seen in all of the
states outside the Atlantic seaboard.
THE Cleanup" which will be
given on the second night of Chau-
tauqua this year, is a comedy based
on politics in any city of the United
States. Moreover, it shows women
in politics. It's the story of a wife
who u n for mayor against her
husbands wishes. She lines up the
supposedly crooked ward boss as
her campaign manager. He proves
