Entertainer* Feature Chautauqua Program Two Plays Head Universal Bill Ad venture, Radio and Movies Included. “The elephants march around. The band begins to play The boys behind the monkey cage Had better keep away.” Its really not as bad as that. There is no monkey cage. There are no elephants. There may be no band. But there are lots of boys and girls and men and wo men getting ready for the Chau tauqua of Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids. They are getting out their best clothes. They are scrap ing together their dimes and quarters for the season tickets. In every way they are preparing for the best time Chautauqua has ever given them for they know that very early Monday morning the big "Brown Top” will arrive at the Junction and soon the sound of pounding on heavy stakes will be heard from the lot beside the Presbyterian Church. Everybody is planning to go this year, and it is mainly be cause of the splendid features that are to make up the show. Let us mention just a few. First thing on the opening day comes the Dunbar Bell Ringers, These four men have one of the finest acts on the stage. They are equiped with over a hundred bells which they manipulate in such a fashion and with such skill that the sweetest mu sic is produced. Nor is this their only accomplishment. They have a repertoire of amusing songs which they deliver with the pre cision of long practice together. As a further offering they pre sent several popular pieces with the trombone and piano. This year the Chautaqua As sociation is attempting something for the first time. They are pre senting in addition to all the other acts two plays beside the childrens play. These two plays are “Crossed Wives” and “The Taming of the Shrew”. The first is a rollicking comedy of life in a small town in which two young : business men switch their job to the delightful entertainment of tl e audience. lhe laming of the bhrew is I presented by an experienced ! company of professionals who understand their parts and read into their lines the shades of meaning and points of humor ' that the author, Shakespeare, in intended. The childrens play is a pretty pantomine based or. the story of the old woman who lived in the shoe”. And all the boys and girls ' are her “so many children she 1 didn’t know what to do”. All through the week of Chau tauqua from June 18 to the 24 ' the entertainers come thick and fast. There are the McCords a company whose work is to bring ' fun to the Chautauqua crow is. And they do it too. They are im personators and there is also 1 some singing and playing. The Victorian Maids come to us with two concerts. Dressed in their 1 old fashioned costumes they sing and play songs. They make a very quaint picture as they play their instruments the violin, 'cello, piano and drum. Also with this crowd of entertainers comes the Dunbar Hussar Band the very back bone of Chautau- . qua week. This band is made up of nine young men who know ( how to sing and act and play their music with snap and pep that carries their hearers away. The thunders of applause that greet this band every where ■hows its popularity. And to add a still more inter esting touch to the program, Carveth Wells is to speak the opening night. Mr. Wells is a weeks entertainment himself. He talks—he doesn’t lecture on "My Six'1 Years in the Jungle of Malay’’. He has his own colored slides which he shows on a screen and he also has moving pictures of a native bull flgbt and other interesting subjects In addition taMr. Wells there is Burnell Ford.
