These locations will be Bold and the money will be used to defray the expenses of the celebration An especially low rate will be asked for eating stands, as the visitors must be fed. Here Is an opportunity for the church societies to make some money, and any Individual can get a concession of this kind and undoubt edly make a good deal more than double day wages. Here is also an opportunity for the schoolboys to get their brains working to devise some sort of a sport, like throwing base balls at nigger babies, and thereby make a good-sized piece of pin money.

Cbautauquas have multiplied all over the United States, and while it Is only forty-six yeara since the Mother Chautauqua at Chautauqua, K.

It Is an American In stitution, which has and la doing lockchen," by three girls, Mildred Stevens, Clara Will and Sybil Ellis, was one of tho Bpeclal features on the program. "Chiming Bells," by Inez Monroe; "Echo In the Woods," by Eva Hash; "Maypole Dance," by Virginia Jones; "Cricket and Bumble Bee," by Sybil Ellis, were thoroughly memorized and splendidly given by pupils so young. The selections by Mary Jane Wiley and George Wiley, as well as Men delssohn's "Spring Song" and "Mill Wheel," by Clara Will, were excel lent In tempo, style and rnytnm. "Rustic Dance," by Clifford Putnam, was rendered in a characteristic man ner, and the nimble finger work of Flora Putnam in "Peasants' Frolic," by Gurlitt, and "Whip-poor-will" were very commendable. "Melody of Love," by Englemann, always a favorite, was well played with good expression by Loletia Pier son. The two numbers played by Lyle Sams were splendid in style and Blnglng tone. The skill and dexterity of his fingers as well as his splendid Interpretation were remarkable. stands out as one of exceptional merit. The production presents Dustin Farnum, the popular screen star, In a role that suits him to the fullness of his talents. As Samson South, leader of the clan of Souths, Mr. Farnum carries one in sympathetic favor through the trials of feudal Intrica cies to the pinnacle of success aa an artist and on to a true love and the end of a thrilling story. Wednesday. William Farnum In "A Soldier's Oath" is the Wednesday night fea ture at the Vining. The play Is a gripping screen mirror of war, love, vengeance and struggle in which the battle of nations and the struggle of human hearts are displayed side by side with equal vividness. It gives William Farnum a great opportunity for "putting over" his great ability, and even without the great Farnum would rank as one of the greatest pictures of recent months.
