OUR CHAUTAUQUA
Five great days—entertainment, inspiration, instruction, merry-making, social-betterment, community-uplift, youth-culture—coming to us to help in the right solutions of our common problems.  These five gala days—fifteen big sessions—form a component part of seventy odd thousand other sessions, attended by more than ten million people all over this land of ours.  Great indeed is the privilege of the chautauqua; its influence is country-wide.  It combines worth-while entertainment with educational advancement, culture, refining influences, and progress; your committee bespeaks your loyalty attested by attendance at every session.  This is your enterprise—you have made it possible—upon you rests the duty of sustaining it.  It is our hope that this year may see record-making crowds—an attendance in keeping with the magnitude, importance, and cost of the program prepared for our enjoyment and enlightenment.

YOUR COMMITTEE.



THE IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY MILITARY BAND

Figure


The State University of Iowa has 3,600 students approximately; of these 300 applied to Dr. O. E. Van Doren for places in the State University Band, one of the two big student activities.  The 20 most likely men, after years of work together, constitute this organization which Mutual Management proudly announces for the big day of the Chautauqua.

Dr. O. E. Van Doren, director, has built University of Iowa Band from a mere name to national fame within the last seven years.  He is a most effective leader.

The Anvil Chorus with electrical attachments, is one of the several features.  Elias Day says, The best organization I have ever seen on a Chautauqua platform, which means that no lover of brilliant band music will miss this event.

THE CASTLE COURT SINGERS
The repertoire of this company includes oratorio, opera scenes, costumed numbers of the old favored songs, character sketches set to music, and many of the seldom heard classics that our forefathers loved and revered.  Each member of this company is an artist of long and successful experience before the public.  Miss Waite, soprano; Miss Sullivan, contralto; Miss Carlisle, piano monologist; Mr. Baker, tenor; and Mr. Quinn, baritone, are among the well known musicians of various centers, having been heard in concert, and as soloists with leading orchestras.  The company was organized and coached by the famous Elias Day of the Lyceum Arts Conservatory, Chicago.  A delight for all.



THE EDWARD CLARKE CONCERT PARTY
Perhaps a better known Baritone could not be found in Chicago than Charles Edward Clarke, and perhaps equally well known as a violiniste is Rachel Steinman-Clarke.  Both artists are European as well as American students and are known for their virtuosity.  Earl Victor Prague, one of the few eminently successful pupils of the great Mme.  Julie Rive-King, has won large honors at the pianoforte.  This concert will afford a rare occasion for the music lovers of our town and a welcome event to every attendant, for, after all, we are not different in our universal love for the best.  Mr. and Mrs. Clarke are members of the faculty of the Lyceum Arts Conservatory.  A fine musical treat.



THE MANILA QUINTET
Public interest in Filipino music is growing.  The interesting and heart-stirring melodies of our people of the Eastern sea are gaining in the musical popularity contest.  Our management has selected one of the finest companies in America to interpret this beautiful music for us.  It includes Eustaquio de Paralta, leading Filippino Flutist and Basso-Cantante; Jacinto Arfapo, Guitar and Baritone; Mariano Manguerra, Mandola and 1st Tenor; Silverio Salcedo, Guitar and 2nd Tenor; José Paguio.  Each is a student in an American college, and the occasion of their coming will be long remembered by all.  An Event.

A CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM OF EXCEPTIONAL MERIT


Figure

THE HIPPLE MUSICAL ENTERTAINERS
This company is known for its versatility, snap, and entertainment punch.  One of the largest Grand Concert Marimba-Xylophones ever manufactured is carried by the company and Mr. Earl Hipple's performances upon this instrument have made him famous.  Mr. Hipple is also an accomplished Trombone Soloist.  Mr. John R. Elder, Violinist and French horn; Mr. Christ Knudson, Flute, Piano, Cornet; Mrs. Hipple, Pianologist, Cornet and Xylophone, complete the personnel of the company.  Well worth while.



BESS GEARHEART MORRISON

Figure


Thrilling—Appealing—Joyous—Human!—all this has been said of this remarkable woman.  Stories—the best you've ever heard; other stories that make your heart beat faster, and get a bit of a catch in your breath; stories you'll never forget.  Then readings of little masterpieces of modern literature and patriotic selections that re-establish patriotism as a dominant and thoughtful American characteristic.  Mrs. Morrison just entertains the folks as she began doing years ago in her father's Nebraska parish—and has done since all over America in great national conventions, and celebrations, and in our wonderful little Nebraska school houses.  She is Nebraska's country elocutionist given to the nation.  Her Home Coming Song given with Military Band will be the high patriotic event of the program—to be missed by no American within reach of the big tent.



THE JUNIOR CHAUTAUQUA
Here is where little citizens in the making learn responsibility whilst enjoying themselves in a manner wholesome and uplifting.  No work of the chautauqua is more important, while the playground workers will please both the kiddies and their parents.  Some surprises are in store for us this summer and every child in the community will want to be present every day.

FRED J. CLARK
Mr. Clark is a sane red-blooded man who preaches to Nebraskans in Omaha.  He has brains, passion, and a clear head.  His messages are good for folks to hear—they clear out mental cob-webs and brace everybody.  They have been called masterful, remarkable, startling, but the best word to describe them is humorously—instructive.



DR. ONLIN MASON CAWARD
Chicago's Fighting Pastor, a big, hearty, wholesome boy who is an orator, Dr. Caward, the Moderator of the Chicago Presbytery will bring a message from the blood red front of Europe.  He was in Paris when the war was declared and will sketch his impressions of the circumstances attending those early days of horror.  In the afternoon, What is man? an outgrowth of his experiences with people; at night, America Among the Nations, a forecast of the new world in which we are living and shall live after the war.



RETAILER E. B. MOON
Moon is the man who does a $60,000 annual business in a village of 300 people!  Farmers drive right through a city of 80,000 people out to his little town to trade with him.  Constructive merchandising methods, he tells us, constitute the secret.  His community lectures are chock full of food for thought and action; they solve many of the most difficult problems faced by the business man and farmer everywhere.  Practical result-getting discourse.  Mr. Moon is the Director of Community Development for The Farmer's Review, Chicago, and is in wide demand before alert business men.



OWEN R. LOVEJOY
Owen R. Lovejoy, General Secretary of the National Child Labor Committee, responsible as no other person for recent legislation freeing 150,000 children from mills and mines, Iowa boy, minister, statesman, leader and shaper of public opinion, a patriot who thinks ahead of events, and who gives his time and energy to America before she asks it.  An accurate, informative, brilliant, witty, and altogether convincing speaker.  Subjects: Your Neighbor's Boy, and Making the Public School Public.  Vigorously recommended to the public by S. Parkes Cadman, Jane Addams, Felix Adler, Ben Lindsay, Julia C. Lathrop, and thousands of other Americans.
