Augusta’s Great Annual Chautauqua Starts Tuesday
MAGNIFICENT PROGRAM ARRANGED FOR CHAUTAUQUA THIS YEAR;
JULIA CLAUSSEN, MONTRAVILLE WOOD AND OTHER STARS HERE
Eminent Contralto For the Chi
cago Grand Opera Company
Will Be One of the Greatest
Attractions This Week
THE WHITE HUSSARS,
WITH BAND AND VOCAL
MUSIC, ARE COMING
President Albert of Inter
national Association of Rotary
Clubs to Be Here. Weatherwax
Brothers, the Bird Masque and
Other Stellar Features.
Julia Claussen, eminent contralto of
the Chicago Grand Opera Company, is
to appear here on this season’s Chau
tauqua program. Pierre Henrotte, con
cert meister, and Marcel Charlter, di
rector of French operas of the Chicago
Opera Company are the assisting ar
tists. Mme. Claussen and her family,
also the assisting artists, will travel
over the Chautauqua circuit in a priv
ate car.
Julia Claussen comes from the land
long ago made famous by Jenny Lind.
Her versatility is apparent when one
stops to think that during the Chicago
grand opera season Just closed she
sang in German, Italian and French
roles. On her Chautauqua tour she
will sing a goodly portion of her pro
gram in Knglish. It is said of Julia
Claussen that she has never had an
adverse criticism.
A strikingly new note is seen In this
year’s program in the production of
Percy Mackaye’s "Sanctuary"—a Bird
Masque and Pageant with special cos
tumes, and with a woodland setting
secured through a newly invented pro
cess for throwing pictures directly on
the air without the aid of a screen.
Krnest Harold Baynes, the well known
naturalist, is to play the part of Shy,
the naturalist, In this masque in the
evening, and in the afternoon will give
a lecture on birds and animals.
The White Hussars, thirteen In all,
scheduled for two iwrformances with
Alfred Sweet, director, have developed
a high standard in band music and
they also appear as a vocal choir of
equal merit. They have appeared for
four years in trans-continental tours
in which they have played in nearly
all the large cities.
On the third night of the Chautau
qua. a half-hour’s address will be given
by an authority on the place of the
drama In community life, and this will
be followed by The Parish Players In
a presentation of a strong and timely
one-act drama, known as "The War
Zone.” "The Lady Teazle" scene from
"The School for Scandal," will next be
presented, then a romantic play and
i'stly a pleasing one-act comedy.

As Fresh As a Lily
What a great sale it is that can start its second week
with varieties like these! Hundreds of you were here last
week. You saw the crowds and the enthusiasm. But did
you consider how thoroughly we had prepared for this
event?
Did you lose sight of the great reserve stocks that
are ready to answer the call at any moment?
Possibly you did. But tomorrow, the beginning of the second week,
will carry you farther into the actualities of this interesting event, and
you’ll find the tide of values at full flow.
It is just like starting the sale all over again—with store and stocks
as fresh as a lily.

Wm. Rainey Bennett will appear on

Can.” Mr. Bennett has had the ex

this subject. He started his college
course with $lO and graduated with
money in his pocket, having paid his
way by singing.
Another feature of the week will be
Montraville Wood, the entertaining
scientist who will be remembered from
last year. His demonstration of the
gyroscope and the ultra-violet ray are
things of interest to every one and It
