Music. Lectures, Entertainment
Our
Chautauqua
Program
The Radcliffe Chautauqua
opens on Monday, August 19th,
and continues three days. The
sale of tickets will be under the
auspices of the Red Cross.
The Five Liberty Belles will
bring a program of zest, beauty
and popularity, full of novelty
and bright costuming, and alto
gether this singing orchestral
quintette will prove a stimulat
ing opening for our Chautauqua.
Dr. Henry Clark, of Chicago,
will be the lecturer on the first
day. He comes from Washing
ton, where he has been in close
touch with the governmental
pulse. It is urged that all young
men, subject to the draft, and
those who will soon be within
that age, will hear Dr. Clark, as
he is abundantly able to explain
the necessity of our paying the
greatest price in order to make
"the world safe for democracy.''
On the second day of the
Chautauqua there will be a dem
onstration by a food conserva
tion expert. This expert will
conduct a demonstration of a
scientific use of the foodstuffs
which are at the service of the
people of our community. There
will be lectures accompanying
these demonstrations.
THE WIRTZ-DAVID COM
PANY on the second day will
prove one of the most satisfying
and successful numbers on any
Chautauqua program. Mr. Wirtz
is the solo cellist with the Pea
body Symphony Orchestra. Miss
Harmonie David, soprano, is a
young woman of exceptional
gifts and experience. She comes
directly from the White House
at Washington, having been the
guest of the Wilsons. Miss
Reine Musgrave is the charming
pianist and accompanist of this
company, and is a teacher on the
faculty of Randolph-Macon Institute.

The last day of the Chautau
qua will emphasize the import
ance of the American Red Cross.
In the morning there will be a
demonstration and explanation
of the work of this great move
ment in connection with home
nursing, helping the doctor, first
aid, etc In the afternoon the
Red Cross nurse will lecture on
the subject of the entire work
done by this organization, the
title of the discussion being Hie
Story of the Red Cross in Peace
and War.' This will put the
facts concerning the work done
by this great institution before
the American people so they will
grasp its magnitude.
One of the most unique, inter
esting and instructive, even
- brilliant numbers of the pro
gram will be the work of Louis
Williams, the electrical wizard.
Since so much of our daily life is
dependent upon electricity, for
necessities as well as luxuries,
the subject of electricity is one
which is of general, intense in
terest. The director, D. W. R. Daw
son, assistant to Rev. Dwight
Hillis, pastor of the Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, N. who
will have charge of the Chautau
qua for the entire three days,
will lecture the second night on
'The Call to the Colors.' In this
discourse he will present the ob
ligations of the business man,
the mechanic, the farmer, the la
borer and the professional man
to the Flag, and will show how
winning the war is dependent
upon the co-ordination of every
phase of community life to the:
one idea TO WIN THE WAR.
'When the Boys Come Home'
is the title of the director's sec
ond lecture, to be given on the
closing night of the Chautauqua.
This lecture is devoted to the
creation of higher community
ideals and the evolution of these
ideals into realities, in order
that the boys who are now going
out to fight for us will find our
town better when they come
back than when they leave it.
They have a right to demand
that we 'Keep the Home Fires
Burning,' doing our duty nor ex
ercising our privilege if we do
not develop our town to satisfy
the need consequent upon their
broadened vision and deepened
experience.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
In this hour when our Nation
is fighting for its life, the Chau
tauqua must be the place where
every American in your com
munity will come to pledge anew
his devotion to . lag and Coun
try; the place where' he may
learn what his Government
wants him to do and how to do
it.
The Chautauqua must leave in
its wake a flaming torch of pa
triotism that will illuminate the
path of duty so that none may
fail to find it and that will leave
no shadow to conceal an alien
foe nor to hide a traitor native
born.

PRES. WILSON has said to us:
"Your speakers, going from
community to community, meet
ing people in the friendly spirit
engendered by years of intimate
and understanding contact, have
been - effective messengers for
the delivery and interprepation
of democracy's meaning and im
perative needs. The work that
the Chautauqua is doing has not
lost importance because of the
war, but rather has gained new
opportunities for service.
"Let me express the hope that
you will let no discouragement
weaken your activities, and that
the people will not fail in the
support of a patriotic institution '
that may be said to be an inte
gral part of the national defense."
