The Chautauqua committee report;; that the date for the Chautauqua this next summer" has been assigned and that the members of the committee are especially pleased with the strong and appropriate program which has been arranged. The Chautauqua .will be held during the five days beginning Thursday, June "tcTBe 'Reconstruc tion Year for the Chautauqua the pro gram has been prepared so as to aid in every possible way a wise and just solution of the great problems which are to be met. It is understood that it has been the aim of the management to make the keynote of the program a vital,' virile Americansm, and it is expected that as a result the Chautau- ^tt«rwitti*r'even-more theseuncertain and trying times or readjustment than it was during the war. Big Features in Music. It is said that in its musical sum- bers the management has succeeded in maintaining the usual high standard of its attractions. Evidence of this is to be found in the fact that they have been able to secure as a very special treat, the famous native Indian Or chestral Band from the Haskell Gov ernment Institute of Lawrence, Kan sas. The band will be under the di rect charge of a government super visor. The Indians will wear for a part of their program their native tribal costumes, and their, program will consist of a happy blending of the weird Indian melodies with all that is best in conventional music. Special features of the group will be a feature dancei-, and Fred Cardin, a native Qua- pay Indian who is considered the greatest violinist of his race. As a special soprano soloist* the manage ment has succeeded in securing Sarsa Carey, a native of the Cherokees. Another notable feature will be the Anne Keller have for a number of years been giving programs which have struck a new note in the concert field. They do not play and sing for you, but WITH you. In.their own unique way they bring the spirit of music close to the lives of their hear ers. oBth are composers, both are ar tists and with it all they are both hu man. Their iprogram will be a delight of vocal and instrumental music. These ladies have had several years experi ence in the Lyceum and Chautauqua and their program never fails to please because’They can^not only sing well, but ususually well, .and their instrumental ability is equally as good. A particular characteristic of the Del Mars is their alertness and enthusiasm which is said to be quite contagious. High Class Entertainers Secured. It is with especial pride that Miss Maude Willis' is announced as a part of the entertainment features of the week. Miss Willis is a reader of playS apd she has long held a most enviable reputation in the Chautauqua world. Her work upon the platform Keller .Sisle rs^ .^Lau:: .amfcr t fuIFSufrafte Is loved “a s m uch for the character of her selections as for her artistic ability. She strives to be more than a mere entertainer, and she succeeds. Her appearance at the Chautauqua w-ill be an event long to be remembered in the community. On the same day with Miss Willis will* be presented Brush, The Great, that refined and cleVel 1 illusionist who denced by the unusually strong group of lecturers which.have been secured. The keynote of the week " will be struck by a notable lecture on Amer- icanism by Montaville Flowers who for many years has been considered one of America’s foremost orators and publicists. No man on the American platform has a clearer or fuller grasp of the facts and issues involved in present world affairs. He stands pre eminent among America's greatest ora tors for his power to present vital sub jects in forcible, logical address. His subject will be “America’s Highway to Happiness”. Every intelligent Ameri can patriot should hear it. Then there will be Strickland Gilli- Jaiu Ag^r4ca’srfer«mog^-baiMojijtt, both to the most - exacting music lov ers. Both are composers, both are ar- tie about music. • The Chautauqua management con siders itself fortunate in being able to present the Dough Boys Male Quar- tat made up entirely of soldier boys just back from service overseas. Each member has been carefully chosen from the standpoint of honorable and distinguished service to Uncle Sam as well as because of their unusual musical ability. Their program will be made up of trench song f s and stories —thrilling experiences in the world war, together with a high class quar tet repertoire. One of the special fea tures of their program will be the his tory of the Great War as told in its trench songs. The Del Mar Ladies Quartet will give a varied and delightful program lar more^ than ar-deeade- has-been de— itonselteeptffgT lighting Lyceum 'and Chautauqua au diences in every state in the Union: His entertainment is as remarkable for its variety of mystery as for the mystery itself. r He presents tricks culled from England, China, France, India,—in fact from every source un der the sun., Mr. Brush too is more than an entertainer. He strives to educate as well. His aim is partly to show people that they cannot believe everything they see and so to beware of the otner man's game. It would be difficult to find a finer combination of entertainment and Instruction than is to be found in Mr. Brush’s program. Lectures Especially Strong. That the Chautauqua management has been doing its utmost to make its message to the pfeople and its contri bution to the nation in these trying times as effective as possible is evl- twenty years he has talked t8 Ameri can audiences from coast to coast and no man has a cleaner, better- 1 record. He is constantly filling return dates, and he is always considered, new be cause of his ability to originate while on the platform. Mr, Gillilat| is a writer alsoj He writes for every Is sue of Farm Life and he has something in every month’s magazines,—Good Munsey; w o m aTn s World, Rycroft or Ladies Home Journ al. His subject at the Chautauqua will be “—ust Among Ourselves”. The lecturer who will prove of as great interest as any is L. Harwood Spicer, a renowned English educator, .and an eye witness of the German Revolution. He will make .a special trip to America to bring to Community Chautauqua -audiences this summer a most timely and interesting message. His subject will be "The German Revo- lution as I Saw It”. He wil Igive ac curate descriptions of what has bees going on iif Germany since the eleventh of last November, and from his extraordinary knowledke of Ger many and the Germans he is able au thoritatively to state what we may ex- r ■ pect of Germany in the future. All in all a great treat is in store for everybody.
