In a letter j received from Mr,. McConnell, he . says : ‘‘A new voice that will long be re membered will be heard on the White '| A- Brown Chautauqua circuit this year. Doctor Lee Rector, of Okla homa, a young man of dj-nam;c per- Hsqnality, of brilliant mind, and of : striking platform ability. ;s dead • certain to create a sensation in ev 'lerj- town in which he appears. The I only class of people who will not be | waked up and stirred by Doctor Rec ■ tor will be those hopeless 'flappers' and ‘jelly beans' which perhaps a sprinkling of ‘old roues’ w-ho can on- Ily be excited by the sensual and ‘jaxzistic’ trash offered as amusement these days. I predict that Doctor Rector’s lectures will be the talk of the towns he visits months after ev erything else on the program shall have been fotgotten. Unless 1 to i tally misjudge the trend of today’s . thought and the caliber of the aver i age chautauquan's mind, Lee Rector's visit will be the outstanding feature t of every program.” i Dr. Rector will appear in Hartwell . on the second day of the Chautau . qua, which is Sunday. He is a mem . her of the faculty of Oklahoma Bap tist University. . o Mr. A. D. Hilliard Passes At His Home In Bowersville Mr Armstead D.

I Q PAGES X IN THIS I Xm ISSUE i Chautauqua Official Tails of Plays, Music, Lectures and Entertaia ments Coming Here Soon The date of our Chautauqua and an outline of the program has been received from the White 4 Brown Chautauqua System of Kansas City. The Chautauqua opens Saturday, May 30th, and lasts for six days • and nights. In a letter from Mr. Moreland • Brown of the Chautauqua System, be speaks in glow'iug terms of the at traction. “In many ways," says Mr. > Brown, “I think this is the most gen- > I erally attractive program we ever • have offered. If 1 had my choice of ever yplay produced in New York m the last ten years, I would select 1 the two plays we are haying this • summer, namely, ‘The Nervous Wreck,’ as a funny comedy, and 'The • Fool,’ as a serious drama. ‘The Ner vous Wreck’ is to me the funniest of all the recent comedies and that included ‘Turn To the Right,* ‘Lightnin’.’ ‘Three Wise Fools,’ and 'Abie's Irish Rose.’ As for ‘The Fool,’ it is in a class by itself among recent plays, being a tremendously thrilling play with a religious theme. Nothing approaches it since ‘Ben Hur.' It is sure to leave a deep ■ . impression. Two of the Best Plays. “I try to see every play that runs long enough to be considered a suc cess, and 1 saj’ again I do not know ' <wo ” iat are same Chautauqua program aa ‘The Fool’ and ‘The Nervous Wreck.’ "I think ne are equally fortunate in the lecturers we have for the pro gram. Edward Amherst Ott is with out a peer as a lecturer and his new est lecture. ’Personality and Voca tion,’ wil prove of deepest interest to every one. Dr. Ott will cause every one to ask of himself, ‘what are you going to do tomorrow, and why?’ Rector Here On Sunday, May 31et. “I am so glad the Chautauqua audiences are to hear Prof. W. I>ee 1 Rector, of Oklahoma Baptist Univer sity, on the subject, 'When the Foun dations Move.’ He’s a big man, a j deeply’ religious man, and his theme I deals wrth religion in the life of a man and the community. "Then I went every one to know \ and hear the other two wonderful ■ lecturers. They are extremely in ! teresting folk. George Emerson Fran- I cis has timely things to say under the J «übjecl ‘The Jaxx Jungle,’ and says them brilliantly. Princess Sumayeh Attiyeh. a natice Syrian, hvi a phil i osophj’ nt life which speak; through ■ her face like a constant benediction i and has accomplished things under i difficulties which prove a tremendous inspiration to all who hear her. Band Has Twenty-Two Member. “Then I am just as enthusiastic over the music and entertainment features of the program. Shadwell’s Scout Band has twenty-two mem bers, High School age, and splendid musicians. It is one of the very fine boys’ bands of the country. Du- Mond Serenadors are a Male Quar tet, who play novelty instruments. Sheehan Concert Company are a classic instrumental trio of violin, flute, piano, all soloists, a soprano, and a company headed by an excel lent reader. Mm Theresa Sheehan. The Winters Company are as enter taining and attractive folks as you ever heard. Kringsberg and Com pany in a program of mysteries, rope escapes, mind reading and other un believable things serve to exercise both the imagination and the crad ality. ‘Then we have persuaded the Slone-Platt Company to elo.vj the ! Chautauqua week with an evening of pure fun. Their stories, charac terizations and instrumental music al! are humorously pre.-wnted, and the yare without an equal in the kind of fun program they present. For The Youagsters. “Os course we have Junior Chau tauqua for the j'oungutere.. with games, stones, health exercises, lis- I tening to music from the victrola, I and rehearsing for the Junior Chau tauqqqua play.” Such is the program for our chau tauqua as described by Mr. Brown. If every one could just realize how splendid and interesting all these at tractions will prove to be, we are : sure the Chautauqua tent would be crowded every afternoon and every : night, and the merchants would have little difficulty in selling the five hundred season tickets which they screed would be sold to secure this Chautauqua prrugram for our town.
