B. Hurd who has been with the Chautauqua throughout the south tor the past Several weeks, and who is alive to the tact that the people of this com munity are anxious to hear the pro grams it they are good. Mr. Hurd says: "At several different times this spring I have written you of the program that we had assembled for your 1917 Chautauqua, bat all that I had written was based . on past performances ot the different artists and lecturers. I have now been present tor weeks In the south where we start early and, want to tell you fearlessly and frankly that we have never built a program that haa hit harder pr. pleased better, During the past weeks we have been in several cities In California that have had every one of our pro grams, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917. They are unanimous in tell ing us that we are this year deliver ing the best Chautauqua that we have ever had. - "The Male Quartet is making a smashing hit, as I knew they would with their vocal work and with Newell's tenor solos, but I had for gotten how really fine their brass quartet work was and how splendid ly Hendry puts over his 'cornet solos and humorous readings. It's worth the price of a ticket to hear him give 'When the Train Comes In.' . "The Filion Concert Party was well named for they ARE a Concert Party. Theirs is that high grade offering without which no six day varied program would be worthy being called a Chautauqua. They will not enthuse the audience as the Military Girls do, for the really worth while never is as wildly ap plauded as an offering with more tun in it. The real musicians of the commuuity, however, will real ize that they have had a treat that Costumes Will Present "An J themselves upon the zither, mandolin. guitar and violin, the Tyroleana In the picturesque costumes of the Swiss, singing the songs of the land of Wil liam Tell, give one of the greatest de scriptive fantasies on the stage or con cert platform. It la called "An Even teife !31iL CITY OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CITY OF PRINEVILLE 28, 1917 Photo by Amarlcaa Pnaa AMoctetfaa. Captain E. O. Tinkham, who led the first American fighter to the front In Franc. Is distinctly worth while. "The Military Girls are undoubt edly the life of the six days. I have never seen, either in Chautau qua circles or elsewhere, the riot ously funny and Intensely interest ing program that they are deliver ing. They are good musicians too. and between 'stunts' they settle down and splendidly render some popular selection ot good music. All the time these splendid entertainers are smiling the most convincing proof that their work la not 'work' to them but Is really a splendid pleasure. They get their pleasure In making each summer thousands ot good Americana a little happier for their effort. "Oar Royal Venetian Band Is ot course, easily the premier attraction of the week. A very "capable assem blage of good Italian musicians featuring one of the best brass sex tettes you will ever hear. LoZito is a masterly director and has re markable control over his men. Theirs is a record attendance every where, and assisted by Miss Hays, who by the way is the best singer we have ever offered our audiences, they are giving evenings of real delight. "Our Yodlers are closing the week splendidly. Theirs is a hard place on the program as they are compared with all that has gone before, but in many, many places they are receiving the first choice ot all the votes for favorites. Gus Ochsner, who la with them, haa captured all the prizes offered in this country in the last eight years and all in Switzerland for the four years previously. He Is sure a great Yodler. "The lecture list is most satis factory. While some of the men are going stronger and with more popularity than others, yet, it is a well balanced faculty for our Can vas College. Johnson is a teller ot Evening In the Alps' ing in the Alps" and features the world's greatest yodlers In an echo song, the correct singing of which la an astonishing feat In vocalization. The Tyroleans will probably appear only In the evening the last day of the Chautauqua.

His is one of the most forceful and logical pleas a national conscience that the American platform holds today. The Governor is a fine ex ample ot how the Chautauqua move ment is drawing to it men of the greatest force and intelligence' front all walks of life. "Bone has many gems of original humor with which he clinches hi points and in this respect contrasts amazingly with Mellinger who de livers more interesting knowledge about our neighbor Mexico, with lea attempt at humor than any lecturer I have . ever hear. Mr. Mellinger, however, la not one little bit 'dry as his lecture is so thoroughly pack ed with information that it Is ab sorbing. " "Dr. Ray is the travel sensation. He is holding his audiences on th edge ot the bench with a marvelous story ot personal exploration in South America. -. Hear him yon will not regret It. The story ot the Mawson expedi tion, as shown with the motion pictures, is pleasing everywhere juat " as it did all last summer on one ot our other circuits. "All in all, It Is a program long to be remembered, and If you miss any of it your neighbors will be condoling with you." s a A COM TO THE LYRIC The picture play, "Birth of a Na tion", which is one of the most wonderful pictures ever produced, is coming to the Lyric on Sunday, July 8.
