Shangopavi, famed Indian magician, returns to Chautauqua tonight after a big hit last year. He is described as educated and possesses an engaging story about his people, promising an entertaining program this evening.
Readable schedule covers August 19 to 22 with Boys' Club Bible Hour and lectures by Dr Wishart and Prof Wilcox. Highlights include Saloons by Norton and full concerts by Ciricillo's Band.
