Chautauqua Has ;
rine rrogram
Ooees With Concert and Lecture This
Evening All the Nnmbers High
Class and Enjoyed by Large
Audiences.
The 5-day Rednath Chautauana
which began last Saturday will dose
this evening with a concert by the
Kublick company and a lecture by
Dr. H. A. Adrian on "The Wonders
of Burbank." This afternoon at 4:30
there will be a popular concert bv
the Kublick company and Bernice
Van. '. . -"
All the attractions offered, twice
each day since the beginning and
three mornings for children especi
ally, have been of a uniformly high
order and have been a source of
pleasure and profit to those who have
attended. The largest audience that
has so far attended was delighted
with" "Friendly Enemies", the play
presented last evening. Many consider
that the lectures of Dr. Ott and Mr.
Flowers alone were worth the price
of a season ticket No doubt the con
cert and lecture this evening will be
equal to anything so far presented.
The guarantors will have to make
good a deficit of about $350. This is
smaller than any deficit the guaran
tors have had to meet heretofore, and
no doubt the Chautauqua will be en
gaged for another season.
