(Rest) I CHAUTAUQUA COMES TO C1XKS1C 1J)21 Programa Equalled Those of 1020-?Permanent Hereafter. The Redpa'h Chautauqua closed | a successful five-day engagement in Walhalla last night (Tuesday.) ?Too much cannot be said in commenda tion of this excellent institution, and | it would be a pleasure for us to give, had we tho space at our disposal at the moment, full details of each of the splendid attractions presented each day. On the opening day, last Thurs day, tho Hippie Concert Company gave a beautiful program. This com pany had been in Walhalla before, and they were greeted as ohl^iends. Ceo. 1,. McXtitt's lecture"rhurs day night was forceful and full of food for thought. On Friday afternoon the Crotchet! Cox Company rendered a charming program. Friday night Harry L. Fogleman gave his famous lecture, "Success or Failure." mid ho made il very plain that it lies with us whether we suc ceed or. fail. His manner of deliv ering this lecture is unique, his rapid How of words being well chosen and clearly enunciated. Ile has been very appropriately called "Gattung Own Fe glenian." "Saturday afternoon there was a prelude by the White Hussars Hand and readings by Beulah Huck. Miss Huck in private life is Mrs. Harry Fogleman. We had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Fogleman personally, and found her very charming. Her rendition of "The Man in the Sha dow" was wonderful; in fact, her whole program was charming and entertaining. We heard one lady re mark that in this one entertainment alone she had gotten the price of her season ticket. The Grand Concert of the White Hussars Band Saturday night was as line a performance as it has ever been our good fortune to bear. Wo would like to mention Individually each member of this wonderful ag gregation, but our space is too lim ited. Suffice it to say that each was indeed an artist in his particular line. 'Monday afternoon J)r. E. 3$Sljtofik l?ffTmTn^f?ct?ftra^olf^ nie ^PPrW Live In." lt would be well for us if we would lake his words homo and ponder them seriously-"mark, learn and inwardly digest them." His lecture was listened" to,, atten tively by an appreciative audience. "Nothing bul the Truth," a spark ling American comedy, was presented Monday night to a crowded tent. The continuous applause and laughter attested to the excellence of the performance. Last, but by no means least, on Tuesday were Groebockor's Swiss Yodlers. in the afternoon, and that inimitable humorist. Alton Packard. Tuesday night. We have had Yod lers here before, but nothing that surpassed and few that equalled this wonderful company. Humorists and cartoonists we have silso had with us, but to Alton Packard we give first place. His entertainment was without doubt the cleverest of its kind that has ever been presented In Walhalla. We want to say a word in praise of the excellent work willoh has been done by Miss Pearson, "The Story Hour Girl." Miss Pearson so en deared herself to the littlfi folks, hy ber sweet and charming manners, that it was with deep regret that they bade her good-bye. Everybody regretted that Super intendent Cass was indisposed almost tho entire live days of his stay, and the people of Walhalla were de prived of the pleasure of becoming as well acquainted with him as they did with Superintendent. Hughs last year. We hope that Mr. Gass will he returned with the Chautauqua next year, thus giving us an oppor tunity of knowing him better. The people of Walhalla and com munity are indeed to 'he congratu lated upon securing such entertain ments as the Redpath Hurea> sends Dut, and il is with groat pleasure that we are able to an nott nco that lt will be a permanent thing for Walhalla in the future. A Great Gathering Sunday. On Sunday last there was a great Sunday school gathering at thc Chautauqua tent, the seating capa city of the tent hoing moro thnn occupied, and many were forced to Lake seats on the outside on tho {round and on chairs that were pro vided for as many as possible. There were a number of splendid alka made by speakers from other Places and from among ftie local Sunday school workers. Altogether he meeting was considered one of be best ever bold in the county. The actual seating capacity of the ont proper is twelve hundred, and, aklng into consideration the num >er of peoplo on tho outside, it ls ?afc to estimate the crowd in nt endnnce around 1,300 to l.fiOO. Reports from earnest workers In ho Sunday schools indicate that the croat meeting last Sunday will bear ;ood fruit in the future In the way >f stimulated interest In this very mportant branch of church work.
