LAUGHTER AMD THRILLS
BY TWO GREAT AMERICANS
Lots of people hare the idea that
a lecture I* a anil, dry affair at which
one falls asleep; so that Share is an
agraeablo surprise in store for them
at the Community Chautauqua, for
this year's program Includes two of
the most entertaining and inspiring
platform personalities in America.
Those who come to laugh era assured
that they iwll do to on the Bight that
Shriekland GiUflan appears, for he la
termed America’s greatest living hu
meri «t—and he fully Justifies the title.
His is that rare brand of humor that
turns on everyday affairs —and brings
a laugh out of the moit matter-of-fact,
commonplace situation. He talks of
intimate things in an intimate way,
and leaves you with tho feeling that
you have met a very dslightfal friend.
It has been said that laughter Is the
greatest tonic, so that there is a real
bracer for every one who hears Strick
land Glllilan.
A Joyful Briafar Far Joy Night
No more fitting attractlea could be
presented es the erowntng touch for
the great Joy Night that la to dose
the Chautauqua, for he will leave
everyone smiling for weeks after
wards. Gloom has no chsuire when
this mirth-provoker Is present; yet,
as he himself admits he is a very
modeit person,—and brpgs about It
a groat deal. He confesses that he
grew up on a farm tnd acquired his
distinctly individual walk straddling
corn rows. His own axpremion on
this subjoct is: "While I have im
proved a great deal since I left that
farm, it benefitted even more by the
separation. My going away waa Just
the making of that farm.
I
"X am no Lillian Rmooli and nobody
ovor mistook rss for Her Nor am
I a Douglas Fairbanks, for I noser
could got used to running op walls
holding on to the flowers in the wall
paper. I am only me, and while I
regret it in come ways, I really am not
••rry because there was no one else
I could be, and I should hare an
owfully hard time learning to bo some
one I am not."
It’s Tory seldom that Strickland
Gillilan talks so much about himself,
bat whan ha talks about ships, and
shoes and sealing was, he Is capable
of going on Indefinitely in a style
that is distinctly hi* own. Yet, oc
casionally there is a rein of serious
thought that reseats how groat It the
mind behind all lightness and fus
il ■* this rare combination of deep
thought sad genuine humor that
makes the writings of Strickland
GIB Has welcomed regularly by inch
distinguished publications as “The
Ladies Homs Journal,” “Puck”
"Judge,” Farm Life,” "Motor Life”
end others.
What Amsriso 1* Feeing Today.
Even a serious subject can be of
vital interest when presented by a
master speaker like Monts villa Flow
ers. This all-American statesman ap
C'*rs this season with an Inspiring
cture on America’s problem of the
moment; and bo treats his subject in
to broad-minded and direct a manner
that it grips tho attention and arouses
the enthusiasm of every thinking
American. At a time as critical as
this reconstruction period, a man of
broad vision and deep knowledge is
needed to help os get a true perspec
tive on our pressing problems. Mont
avillo Flowers diseumas such ques
tions as “How shall are fight Bolshov
'em? How ■hall wa Americanise the
Foreigner? What are the citiaaa’a ob
ligations to the Government and the
Government'll to the citisan?"
"Our National Highway to Happi
naee" is the direct answer to all these
questions. The lecture was written
aa a direct conclusion of the remark
able knowledge of present day needs
gleaned by Hr. Flowers daring bis
war work. HU great contribution
was the organising and fostering of
the American Conference of Lectur
ers which met in Washington a year
ago to consider the problems of Amer
ica at war. Montarillr Flowers pre
sided over this imposing body which
helped the fpremost American speak
er* and the distinguished represents
tires of foreign governments to form
ulate a define policy of presenting
war issues t<v the country. At a re
sult of this important work, Mr.
Flowers later edited and published a
volume entitled “What Every Ameri
can Should Know Abont the War*’
which represents one of the most rom
plota and compact contributions to
our war literature.
So striking is the personality of
Mr. Flowers, and so forceful is hie
method of speaking, that his audience
is inspired to greeter patriotic pride
in America, the greatness of which
j» »o clearly revealed In a statesman
like Montavilla Flowers
