MrUlbney. direct from the French front; Montru-ville Wood, famous scientist and inventor of the torpedo with ears; The White Hussars Hand, and the Great Reno. Throughout the week ;;rc more of what one might call popular numbers than usual, a fact which j will be acceptable to the majority of \ the chaulauqua going public.Everybody likes a band. Since the lays when we followed our first circus parade, to the pulse-stirring strains of the uniformed band sitting aloft In their gilded, palatial wagon drawn by prancing horses, we have never quite lost the magic thrill which always returns when we hear rousing strains i -f a good band. Yet even In the band has the idea of unusualness been carried out. for it is a singing band that will be featured this year. The While Hussars will appear on the porgram on the closing day. Their combination of stirring band music with vocal work has made them one of the most pleas-i'tg successes of recent years.At the present time with the subject of national defense receiving attention. it is interesting to know that I'rofessor Wood Is the inventor of tin' hearing torpedo. about which so much lias appeared in magazines and newspapers. This submarine instrument is noted for Its humane possibilities and its almost human Intelligence.At one point in his iccture-tlemon-stmtinn. I'rofessor Wood allows members of the audience to come to the platform and wrestle with a 28-pound •yroscope running at a speed of nearly ::.000 revolutions a minute. Later lie demonstrates the application of the gyroscope to the aeroplane and monorail car by actually sending small models of these twentieth century carriers out in midair on a slender wire stretched above one of the aisles of the auditorium. His demonstra lions of the ultra-violet ray are alike marvelous.In the early days Mr. Wood was closely associated with Thomas A. Edison, and in 189!* was appointed ;lis-rrict engineer for the Edison company for the Pacific const. He is the in-ventor of the 2-botton electric switch ...i iia~rtv i hundred other nra'-tica!ture will be Illustrated by stereopti-can slide* made from photographs taken by him at the front.Another big feature of the 1917 Redpath program will be the Parish Players from Chicago. The Purisll Players have the unique distinction of being the first professional theatrical organization in the United Slates to Ik established by a church. Their success was immediate and pronounced. They will present three one-act plays. The War Zone. Accounts Overdue. and The Man Outside.The Great Reno will appear on another evening with a thrilling program of mystery, magic, and illusions. Sometimes when he is introduced, he will rise from the audience, dressed in evening attire, walk upon the stage, i-nd with one wave fo Ills handkerchief produce from apparently nowhere a bowl running over with water and with Jive gold fish swimming about.lie burns a piece of common paper, and •* dove rises phoenix-like from the ashes. He apparently tears the dove in tv.'o. only to find that lie has two doves in his hands. He throws a glass of water Into the air. and it changes Into a dove and flies away.Knight MacGregor, the Scotch baritone. has been secured for a recital. He will have an able assisting artist at the piano.The Merrilees Entertainers, a quar-•et lt;r charming and beautiful girls, will appear in costume of the colonial time;, while rendering some of the selections which were favorites in •lays long gone by.
