COMMUNITY CHAUTAUQUA, (Incorporate*/ Executive Offices; White Plains, New York. Laughter and Thrills by Two Great Americans. Lots of people have the idea that a lecture is a dull, dry af fair at which one falls asleep; so that there is an agreeable surprise in store for them at the Conimun .ity Chautauqua. For this year’s 'program includes two of the most interesting and inspiring platform personalities in America. Those who come to laugh are assured that they will do so on the night that Strickland Gillilan appears, for he is termed America’s loving humorist—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 most matter-of-fact, common place situation. He talks of in timate things in an intimate way, and leaves you with the feeling that you have met a very delight ful friend. It has been said that laughter is the best toic, so that there is a real bracer for every one who hears Strickland Gilli lan. Joy Bringer For Joy Night. No more fitting attraction could be presented as the crowning touch for the great Joy Night that is to close the Chautauqua, for he will leave everyone smiling for weeks afterwards. Gloom has no chance when this myrth-provoker is present; yet as he himself ad mits he is a very modest person, and brags about it a great deal. He confesses that he grew up on a form and acquired his distinctly individual walk straddling corn rows, is own expression on this subject is; “While 1 have improv ed a great deal since I left that farm, it benefited even more by the separation. My going away was just the making of + hat farm” “I am no Lillian Russell and no body ever mistook me for her. Nor am 1 Douglas Fairbanks, for I nev For you or the painter, quality tells To the painter, a high quality paint or varnish always helps to make a job that satisfies. To you, when you do your own paintine, it means quite as much. Not only does quality insure you lasting beauty of surface, but accurate proportion ing, uniform mising and easy spreading. Whatever the purpose, whoever the painter, the Certain-teed, Paint or Var nish for that purpose will prove its quality by satisfaction —spread far ther, cover better, and give longer beauty and service. Certain-teed quality and satisfaction are the result of experienced, painstaking, up-to date manufacture. From the careful selection of only the best materials, to the thorough grinding and ma chine mixing under the eye of trained experts, every step is planned to pro duce a product of Certain-teed quality and satisfaction.

Yet, occassionally there is a vein of serious thought that reveals hoAv great is the mind be hind all lightness and fun. It is this rare combination of deep thought and genuine humor that makes the Avrittings of Striek land Gillilan welcomed regularly by such distinguished publications as “The Ladies’ Home Journal,” “Judge,” “Farm Life,” “Motor Life” and others. What America Is Facing Today. Even a serious subject can be of vital interest when presented by a master speaker like Monta ville Flo Avers. This all-American statesman appears this season with an inspiring lecture on Amer ica’s problems of the moment; and he treats his subject in so broad minded and direct a manner that it grips the attention and arous es the enthusiasm of every think ing American. At a time as crit ical as this reconstruction period, a man of broad vision and deep knoAvledge is needed to iiclp us get a true perspective on our pressing problems. Montaville Flowers dis cusses such questions as lioav shall Ave fight Bolshevism? Hoav shall Ave Americanize the Foreigner? What are the citizens obligations to the government and the govern unit’s to the citizen? “Our National Highway to Hap piness” is the direct answer to all these questions. The lecture was written as a direct conclusion of the remarkable knowledge of pres great contribution Avas the organ- 'tip' MAUDE WILLIS, Dramatic Reader. To make people live before you is the rare gift of Miss Maude Willis, the well-known dramatic reader, who is presenting the famous play “Turn to the Right,” on the second afternoon of the Community Chautauqua pro gram. Her keen character analysis, as well as her remarkably beautiful voice make her performance a delight to all who love real American drama with a thrill, a tear, and lots of smiles. izing and fostering of the Ameri can Conference of Lecturesrs which met in Washington a year ago to consider the problems of American at Avar.

Asa result of this important work, Mr. Flow ers later edited and published a volume entitled “What Every American Should Kuoav About the War” Avhich represents one of the most complete and compact contributions to our .Avar litera ture. No striking is the personality of Mr. Flowers, and so forceful is his method of speaking, that his audience is inspired to greater patriotic pride in America, the greatness of which is so clearly re vealed in a statesman like Monta ville Flowers. tdßt ? rJsmL*-{£etf ficQducfaf i Corpora ti&n, - If you have your painting done, ask the painter to use Certain-teed —he will get it for you.
