M “BILL" WRIGHT REDPATH Chautauqua, is a boyhood friend of the famous and well known writer and cartoonist, Ring W. Lardner. Mr. Wright is known to his scores of friends throughout the country as “Chautauqua Bill." He has been as sociated with the Redpath Lyceum and Chautauqua bureau for eleven years and this is his tenth tour on this great de luxe circuit. Mr. Wright is special publicity manager for Harrison and Harshbar- ger of Chicago, American managers of American grand opera stars, in cluding Charles Marshall, heroic tenor, of Chicago Civic Opera com pany. “Bill” was first post commander of the La Rue Messenger Post, No. 26, Niles, Michigan, re-elected the second year without opposition, and is much interested in ex-service men, and recommends the program as the best given here by either the Redpath or any other organization in the way of a week’s entertainment with music, plays and lectures. “It costs about $500 a week more than that given here last year," he says. An innovation introduced by Red path last year in the supplying of all their tents on this circuit with Grand pianos is carried out this season. This is unique in the Chautauqua field and a costly practice for the management. Associated with “Bill" here are four college crew boys. They are Arthur V. (Doc) Allison, property man, Car lisle High, Carlisle, Ky.; Harold Ap pleby, cashier, Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Wm. (Bill) McCown, gateman, Fayetteville High, Fayette ville, Tenn.; Paul Edwards, usher, Bloomington High, Bloomington, Hi.
