These musicians will come to Chautauqua on the fiPh day with programs that range from Dolly Stewart’s dainty “songs at the piano” to the instrumental master pieces played on Edwyn Hames’ violin and the most stirring vocal clas sics sung by Alan Murray. As a baritone Mr. Murray bas made a distinctive mark in the musi cal world and it will be a privilege to hear this young vocalist whom the Sydney Bulletin predicts “will soar to the giddy heights of fame.” There is equally enthusiastic comment on the violin playing of Mr. Hames, while Dolly Stewart—in a class all to herself—is a popular idol with entertainment lovers.

In the person of little Mickey Ben nett, seven and slightly freckled, the screen has a new child wonder. We leave the picture public to make its own decision in this matter after viewing \Big Brother,” an Al lan Dwan production of the Rex IVacli story, coming to the Royal Theatre for a two day’s run on Sun day next. Mickie. not only is the leader of a gang in this picture but he is fast becoming the leader of juvenile screen -players. Ever since he es sayed to be young Thomas Meighan in “Cappy Ricks,” two and a half years ago l.e has been in great de mand in kid parts. The good luck star that follows Meighan whom he emulated in his camera debut has been shining ever since on Mickey. In the short space of time that he baa been on the screen he hes played in more pictures than many of the rec ognized lum inaries of the screen. Not long after he fell out of a tub into a lake near Boston for scenes in \Cappy Ricks” he played in “Marriage and Morals,” with Tim Moore, whom he is now playing with in “Big Broth er.\ Mickey also appeared in “The Empty Cradle.” Second Youth,” “The Man Who Played God,” “Reported Missing,” “The Last Moment,” and ‘Mighty Like A Rose.” DOROTHY GISH, VIVID DANCER IN \BRIGHT SHAWL” Dorothy Gish i« doing a Suaniph (lanc^ at the Roycl Theatre this wpcl; in the Richard Rarfliplmess piefuro “The Bris-ht Shawl.” that is one of flip most delightful features nf th>« fascinating romance of the days of Spanish domination of Cuba.

Outstanding among the communi ties which have poisoned for hoppers successfully this year is the Porter bench. The assistant state entomol ogist was in that territory last Fri day and was very well pleased with the work that has been done. A sur vey was made of a few farmers on the Porter bench in order to estimate what th cost of poisoning had been this year and in no case was the cost of poisoning as piucli as lift> cents per acre. Bret Read, Joe Rx>se, H. J. Moon, W. J.
