GET READY FOR CHAUTAUQUA

Lenzo’s Band, Smith-Spring-Holme*, Orators and Entertainers. It would seem impossible to crajn more good things into five days than the Mutual has found place for on tie bursting programs now announced. The Circuit that opens here next Wednesday, July 21, 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 one of the best balanced ever offered to any community anywhere. In spite of increasing high costs for salaries, rail-

.roaus, 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 I 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 numbers with ensemble and quartet appearances not usual with Male Quartets. A musical treat for opening day!, Dr. James H, McLaren has a world view. He takes his hearers into the far corners of our little earth and explains forces and facts 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-artlsts only those who have equal claim for distinction. In a very novel way this company Includes the audiences In their programs. William Sterling Battle, who delivers an unusually strong lecture In the afternoon, gives over his evening hour to unmatched characterizations of Dickens’ characters In costume with speaking parts taken directly from the works of tiJSt master of TH IR D DAY. Orchestra Quintette is 10O~'p3F cent in past achievements, originality, appearance, novelty, ability, individual excellence, ensemble and the good taste they leave behind. This is a company that playa only the best In music and wins by an unvarying adherence to this policy. Maynard Lee “the man from the Northwest,” who comes like 8 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 Is a Wizard band, long to be remembered. FIFTH DAY. June Elliott and Sipher-Schwarts Co. is a double entertainment n umbel for the last day that leaves everyone wanting more* Reading and Noveltj Music forms the base of theprogram and the numbers read, and variety of instruments played will surprise and delight the crowded tents.
