SET READY FOR OUR CHAUTAUQUA.

Lenzo's Band, Bmith-Spring-Holmes, Orator*, Entertainers and Everything De Lux*. It would seem impossible to cram more good things into five days than the Mutual has found place for on the bursting programs now announced. The Circuit that opens here shortly Is one of the four operated by the Mutual that will be busy this summer conducting Assemblies of Democracy throughout the Middle West The program as outlined is ode of the best balanced ever offered to any community anywhere. In spite of increasing high costs for salaries, railroads, printing, canvas, and every item that goes Into Chautauqua overhead, the Mutual still continues 'to hold tickets down to pre-war prices. Tie a string to your finger! Do not take it off until you have bought a Season Ticket for every member of the family. The Junior Chautauqua is part of the child’s education. Do not wait till someone asks you. ‘ Go to the committee today and get your tickets. The commlttemen are doing the work without hope of reward, other than helping our town to better things. Get tickets today! This then. Is a brief outline of the program in store for us: FIRST DAY. Ricketts' Glee Club presents a pleasing variety of wide range both Instrumental and vocal, and introduces many novelty numbers with ensemble and quartet appearances not usual with Male Quartets. A musical treat for opening day! Dr. Jame* H. McLaren has a world view. He takes his hearers into the far corners of our little earth and explains forces' and fiicts not always familiar before. The Doctor Is an orator of rare ability, but he carries even the children with him through the peroration. SECOND DAY. The Hamilton Company presents a varied program of delightful vocalization. Mr. Hamilton has attained distinction in Oratorio work and has associated as co-artists only those whs have equal claim for distinction. In a very novel way this company includes the audiences tn their programs. William Sterllngßattie, who delivers an unusually strong lecture in the afternoon, gives over his evening hour to unmatched chkracterizatioas jf Dickens’ characters in costume with speaking parts taken directly from the works of that master of fiction. THIRD DAY. Smith-Spring-Holmes Orchestra Quintette is 100 per cent In past achievements, originality, appearance, novelty, ability, * individual excellence, ensemble and the good taste they leav* behind. This is a company that plays only the best in music and wins by an unvarying adherence to this policy. Maynard Les Daggy, “the man from the Northwest,” who comes like a breath of a whirlwind from the Puget Sound Country with a message of vital interest for everyone who wants to help the world in its forward urge. FOURTH DAY. Lenzo*s Wizard Band is outstand. Ing in the number of different things it can do well. The band divides into smaller units of trios, duos, quartets and sextets, each with a specialty offering distinctly its own, then reunites in the spectacular ensembles. This ia a Wizard band, long to be remembered.

FIFTH DAY. June Elliott and Slpher-Schwarts Co. is a double entertainment number for the last day that leaves everyone wanting more. Reading and Novelty Music forms the base of the program and the numbers read, and variety of instruments played will surprise and delight the crowded tents. Julian B. Arnold has traveled over twenty countries and has known intimately many of the men and women who have made the history of the world in the fast few decades. Mr. Arnold’s delivery Is replete with gem phrases that fasten themselves in the mind. No better speaker could be chosen for the final sessions.
