PROGRAMS OF EXCEPTIONALLY.HIGH ORDER
• DELIGHT THE PEOPLE AT 'CHAUTAUQUA
inc selling of season tickets for the
Chautauqua was slow in getting start-
ed this year; and for a time looked
as if only a small percentage of the
townspeople vere vies to attend the
programs. However, due to the per-
sistent efforts of Miss J. E. Staveley,
the director, a goodly runnber were
disposed of and a large audience
greeted the Martin Erwin Players at
the first performance. The tent is
larger than of former years and has
a seating capacity of 700,
j "Broken Dishes" an amusing' play
presented by the Martin Erwin Play -
'ars, was presented on Monday even-
ing, and kept the audience in gales
of laughter throughout the entire per-
formance, while the yoangsters were
screaming over and over again in an-
ticipation of some ludicrous situation
about to arise. In Pa &instead lay
a -great deal of the infectious humor
of the play. The role of the laughable
and lovable Pa was flawlessly acted.
It took unprecedented, upheavels iai
the tumstead family for them to re-
alize that he was their mainstay and
sole strength. While momentous ev-
ents were taking place around him
he merely exelainieds"My stars' and
kept on doing the dishes, but came
out as the real hero in the end. Ma
Bumstead ,thinking only of an ideal-
ized dream of early life smothered
the -family with the shadow of it, and
hid all but wrecked their lives when
the daughter stepped in dispelling her
vain iilasions•and restoring the sense
of values to the household. The ro-
mance of Elaine Banastead and Bill
Clark formed an interesting interlude,
Every part was exceedingly well tak-
en and the audience appreciated every
effort on the part of the actors. The
success of the evening made a won-
derful beginning for this year's Chau-
lauqua in Winghem.
Tuesday afternoon found the tent
well filled waiting to hear the lecture
"Adventures in Swaziland:" Though
speaking in a language foreign to his
native tongue, Dr: 'Owen O'Neil hae
a wonderfel command of word e and
a faculty for producing a great effect
with comparatively simple words and
phrases.
. He is a descendant of the Boers,
who before going to Africa, lived le
Holland. Many of them were driven
out of Ireland; hence the Irish. narne,
•He told us the story of the settle-
ment of the Boers in various parts
of the country, one division being led
by his grandfather, and the story of
his own strange. life. He was the
youngest of twelve brothers in a fam-
ily of 24 children. His first trip to
Swaziland ended in a fearful tresedy'.
.Later he became "White King" of the
land and the Queen's adviser. The
'natives measure their wealth by gold,
,cattle anct women; one man was reek -
lolled a millionaire because he had 52
'wives and o270 children. In closing
his remarkshe repeated the words us-
ed by- the Christian 'Queen of Swazi-
land, saying that (:?native tribe ha.ve
only the need of the right kind of
Christianity -not that usually prac-
tised by European nations in South
A,frica.
The audience of Tuesday afternoon
had only a taste of what was to come
when inthe evening the Metropolitan
artists gave • their delightful program
of light opera pieces., They began
with a short service cif sacred music
in A cathedral scene. "Unusual light-
ing arrangements adding greatly to
the effect, Next followed popular hits
from the ,operetta"The &ticket
Prince," "The Chocolate • Soldier,"
"Rose Marie" and "The Desert'Song",
all cleverly adapted to fit into the
short space of time, • tvery member
of the troupe had an exceedingly fine
voice,
• Mr.
Evans, assistant manager of
Canadian "Chatuattquas, Who happen-
ed to be present, spoke for a short
tizne ien the Canadian Chautauqua
Movement.
Two great days are still in store
for those wishing to 'attend. Thie
afternoon is children's afternoon and
tonight the Martin Erwin Players
will again delight their audience when
they present the well-known playa --
"Pollyanna."
On Friday afternooe a lecture de-
monstration "Ligeld Air" will be giv-
en by Elliott James. Vierra's Haw-
aiians will assist at the afternoon pro-
gram and in the evening will present

PREPARATIONS COMPLETE FOR BIG PRO-
GRAMME -FIREWORKS AT BAND TATTOO
The final arrangetnents are now Tattoos are`heid, for the local ladies
complete for the great musical festi- to provide lunch for the visiting
val being held here on Wednesday bandsmen, The ladies of this ewe -
evening, August 13th, under the aus- monity, highly rated for their hospi-
pices of the Wingham Citizens' Band, tality, will, we are sere, be aneious
and in aid of the fund for the new. that the visitors will waut for nothing
unifornis of which our townsfolk are to appease the demands of the inner
so justly proud, The appearance of
the band is now a credit to the com-
munity and according to all reports
great crowds will be present at the
Tattoo to show their loyalty to the
home band, to lend encouragement
Lo the leader and officers and last
but not least to enjoy a wonderful
evening of varied music.
Bands will be present from Blyth,
Chesley, Hanover, Harriston, Listow-
el, Lucknow and Wingham.
Besides the various bands playing
their most select pieces the Hanover
Band, which is competing at the Can-
adian National Exhibition, will play
here, the very selections with whicli
they will try for honors at the
great National Event in Toronto.
They will • also render that famous
and difficult, though charmingly
beautiful number "Poet and Peasant".
Band Music ;will be interspersed
with instrumental solos and duets,
while the March Past and Massed
Band music will be both colorful and
spectacular.
Generous to a fault, in their ar-
rangements for this exceptional ev-
ening's programme the • Committee
has added the lure of bright lights in
a display of unusually attractive fire-
works. •
It has been a pleasant custom when
man. Those who are willing to sup-
ple' sandwiches, cake, sugar, cream,
etc., will please phone 293, for fell
particulars. Wingham bandsmen have
been treated well at surrounding
towns and hope that the response will
be generous in this regard.
It is a pleasure to find a splendid
spirit of co-operation existing among -
the bands of this district, Band Tat-
toos are employed by the various
bands as it means of raising funds to
improve their standing in instruments
music and uniforms. It is,a, credit to
these musicians that they assist their
neighboring bandsmen without reim-
bursement, individually or collective-
ly, the home band in each case get-
ting' the proceeds, The various bands
spend' mech time in preparation for
a Tattoo because it is somewhat in
the nature of a contest and only the
finest selections, most skillfully ren-
dered are used for the occasion 'and
no band goes to a Tattoo without be-
ing exceptionally capable of handling
the selections they intend to play,
Those who attend the Tattoos are,
therefore, sure of an evening's enter-
tainment which is hard to surpass.
In case of rain on Wednestray ev-
ening, August • 13th, Wingham Citi-
zens Band will hold their Tattoo the
evening following.

YOUTHS ENTER
PRINTING OFFICE
On Monday a couple of young lade
entered the Advance -Times Office by-
way of •the cellar, and proceeded, to
make thetnselves at home. On arriv-
ing at the office after the holiday we
noticed red, stickers scattered around,
these also were posted along ntairt
street. After finding the stickers, we
made an investigation and fottud
quantity of type set for this issue
was missing, some least hand get type
and it couple of boxes of stationery.,
The names of the youngsters, which
we refrain from publishing, was soon
known, and Chief Allen interviewed
them, giving them a severe lecture.
While very little of anything vett-
able was taken, it caused our stil
considerable inconvenience. Practie
eally everything has been returned' so
the matter is dropped, but we hope
•
that this will be a lesson to the 1o3r1.,
