Norman's Big Chautauqua
Begins Next Sunday, June 11, at 3 p. m. and Lasts Until June 18
15 Great Entertainments and Lectures for only $2.09
June 11, 3 p.m. "Orpheau Male Quartette"
These are called "The Warblers.
8 p. m. Strickland Gillilan, the Hun'orist.
QUOTATION OF HIS:
I don't tell you things you don't know. I tell you
things you have always known, and you think I in
smart because I know the same things you know.
The best thing I ever stw in print about my work
(that I didn't write myself) was this: "Gillilan's en-
tertainment makes you love your children better
That's worth working for
June 12, 3 p.m. Dr. Jno. Merritte Driver.
l.ast night at the Grand Opera House, fu. more than
two hours and a half, Dr. John Merritte Driver of
Chicago addressed an aud'ence of 500 Keokuk people
But, though he spoke from before 8:30 ui.til 11 o'clock,
to his hearers time was as nothing: they were held fast
by the magic spell of his oratory. Those who had as-
sembled had expected much of the far-famed lecturer
and divine, but his address was a revelation to tho^
who anticipated the most. As he spoke he showed ihe
highest development of the orator, the scholar, the
poet, the traveler, the man of sense, the politician and
the humorist.—Keokuk (Iowa) Constitution.
8 p. m. Col. G. Gearhart, Lecturer.
Colonel Gearhart is of the Wendell Phillips type of
orator, and he certainly ranks among the first of the
day. His personality is commanding, his dignified
bearing that of a cultured gentleman. His dress is
faultless, his voice deep, evenly modulated and reson-
ant. His sentences are epigramatic, and well balanc-
ed, and his thought of the highest.—Daily Bulletin.
Rochester, Minnesota.
June 13, 3 p. m. Everett Kemp, Interpreter.
He completely cap! ed his audience.—Davenport
(Iowa) Leader.
Everett Kemp, the noted humorist, keenly delighted
one of the largest audiences present at the Chautau
qua thus far.—Manhattan (Kansas) Nationalist.
8 p. m. Ralph Parlette, Humorist.
Sixty per cent of his engagements in Ohio last year
were returns in towns where he had spoken from
twice to ten times. Forty per cent of all his bookings
were returns. Yet each year his price has risen. The
better he is known the more is his demand. Parlette
has spoken to every kind of an audience from the cul-
tured club to the grime-covered miners at the mouth
of the shaft. Few men are so able to adapt themselves
to every occasion. It is because he makes every oc-
casion great, brings to it a great message, and sugar
coats it with a never-failing flow of humor.
June 14, 3 p. m. Dr. H. Sears, Lecturer.
What Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus. president of the
Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, says:
I have asked Dr. Sears to come to the Armour In
stitute of Technology, Chicago, and give his eloquent
lecture on "Grumbles" to our thirteen hundred stu
dents, for the reason that I wish them to hear and en
joy a clean, ennobling and profoundly sensible lec-
ture, one which made me laugh more advantageously
and more constantly than any lecture I have heard
since the days of dear old John B. Gough, of whom
the Doctor reminds me so much.
And this after the lecture:
I have inly this to say about your lecture before
our Armour Institute boys: We are rapidly getting
them back to business, but some of them still laugh
out in meeting, and others of them are besieging tne
with the question, "When is Dr. Sears going to come
back?" You would better print this in your notice-,
because, if staid old professors do not wr h to have
their proprieties broken in upon by i;ood humor and
mixed with wisdom, they ought not to hire you to giv>'
lectures.
8 p. m. L. F. Lybarger, Lecturer and Orator.
It proved to be one of the most valuable lectures
heard here in years, both as to subject matter and man
ner of delivery. Mr. Lybar^er is an original thinke.
a ripe scholar, a fluent talker, in fact, an orator of rare
skill.—Winchester (Indiana) Herald
June 15, 3 p. m. W. P. Hale, Impersonator.
Last night, at Staub's Theatre, W. P Hale scored
another hit. He was inimitable, and his selections
brought down the house from the beginning, the an
dience being kept in a constant roar of laughter His
appearance was a decided success.—Knoxville (Tenn
Tribune.
8 p. m. Grace Hale Riheldaffer, Soprano.
Mrs. Riheldaffer is acknowledged by competent
critics to be one of the foremost concert artists of the
day, ranking with grand opera stars in the brillance of
her bravura, the range and flexibility of her scale, the
lyric purity of her tone, and the artistic finish of her
work. Her numbers, "Leise, Leise" from "Der Freis-
chutz" and "Caro Nome" from "Rigoletto, were fault
lessly rendered, arousing the audience to keenest ap-
preciation.
Her first encore number, "The Last Rose of Sum-
mer" given to her own accompaniment, was sung with
a high celestial pianissimo which left her hearers
breathless, while the second, the ever beautiful "Bet
ceuse" from "Jocelyn," went straight to the heart —
The Messenger Homestead, Pa., Octobet 19, 1910
June 16,3 p.m. D. W. King, C ood Road*Man
A "good road talk by Mi. King d t not involvt
suggestions for expenditure on the part >f your . ii*
zens, but, on the other hand, shew;- the wsy by whi i
they can secure the best roads practically without -t
The adoption of Mr. King's suggestion- vill mean the
saving of thousands cf dollars to youi ^ " muni'', an !
the priceless benefit to be d^iived from iinf iov d
roads.
The saving of one hundred and forty dollars pet' day
is worthy the attention of any city The street
missioner of Des Moines. Iowa, says the Kink, Syst
saves that city $140.00 each day it is used.
8 p, m. Sylvester A. Long.
More applause more lair htei and : re mt iU* than
during any other session.—Terre ii ute (Indiana)
Star.
A finished work of art.—Iowa City (Iowa) Rej ul
lican.
A great hit. Long's lecture ;ui hi everybod ■ —
