~rnib an ltaeman With Which Is Incorporated The Bowmanville News Vol. 78 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY. JULY 21st, 1932 No. 29 Fie Entertainers And Speakers At Chautauqua Brilliant Plays, Musicians and Lecturers Will Feat- ue1932 Off ering of Chautauqua Here in Aug- ust. Perhaps neyer in its long and eventful history has Bowmanville needed more the humor, enlighten- ment and cultural entertainment that Chatauqua is to bring to Bow- manville on August 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Business depression has brought about an almost unappeasable want of fine class entertainnent as a means whereby cravings of the hum- an heart. which have flot been sat- isfiecl with unusual business con- Litions, may be met. The high quality of entertainment brought annually to this town by Chautaqua will be eclipsed this year by an outstanding group of per- formers, artists and speakers. The first evening, Aug. 2nd of the 1932 presetation will bring a splen- did cast of players with the comedy "New Brooms." Theoretical 1uth and practical maturity battie for' the mastery in this play o! many lauglis. Wednesday, Aug. 3rd, brings a splendid musical program at the matinee when Sorrentino and His Venetian Strollers will put on a cos- tumed program of colorful melodies and again in the evening as a pre- lude to an outstanding speaker. Dr. David D. Vaughan, the gifted Welsh authority on social welfare who will speak on the appealing subject, "The Challenge o! the New Day."' Thursday a! ternoon brings anotb- er splendid lecturer in the person of Attorney Ray C. Hansen of Chicago wbo tells an amazing story o! the American underworld in his lecture captioned -Governxnent by Gangi- land." A prelude to this address will be given by the Scottlsh Musical Comedy Company who will also pro- vide the program in the evening. This latter company is outstanding in its f ield and will be one of the biggest attractions of the f ive days. Music loyers are destlned for a ,wonderful treat on Frlday when "'The .Artists Trio" composed of Hugo Brandt, planist, Leola Alkman, soprano, and Vladimar Lenski, vlo- llnist. wlU provide the program. John B. Rato. Impersonator. hum- orist and entertainer will take the stage at the evenlng performance following a prelude by the afternoon artists. And the children. They have not been forgotten. f or the -hnimitable marionettes wiil present a program on Saturday afternoon which in- cludes the old falry story "H1ansel and Gretel." Saturday evening will see another wonderful cast presenting the play "Merely Mary Ann." This is a four act sparkling comedy with a tremen- doua human appeal. Those who saw the movie o! this name will be sure to see it as a stage presentation. The whole program is well bal- anced and will tend to completely drive the 1932 blues into the hazy past. Public spirited citizens have made it possible for Chautauqua to corne to Bowmanville this year and the town owes a debt o! gratitude to those sponsoring this hlgh class entertainment. TRINITY Y. W. A. HELD- SUCCESSFUL SUPIPER MEET The lawn of Mrs. W. R. Strike, Horsey Street. was an ideal spot for Trinity Y. W. A. to hold the supper meeting on Tuesday evening. Ar- rangements were i charge of Mrs. Elmer Cox's group who certalnly ex- celled themselves in the excellent appetizing supper provided and wbich everyone thoroly enjoyed. The evening was a really floral evening. each one as they entered bemng pre- sented wlth a small bouquet whlch was used to group the members. After supper a Ioral contest was en- tered into, a! ter which the meeting was opened by Mrs. E. A. VWerry, president, and Mrs. R. J. Dillmng acting secretary in the absence of Mms. Bragg.

LAKE ROAD BARIUCADED TO WEST BEACH (JAMPERS Fox Estate Takes Drastie Stepe When Councli Refuses Demand of $130 Annuafly Considerable consternation and inconvenience was caused cottagers on the West Side' Beach at Port Bowmaaville on Monday a! ternoon wben they found a fence bad been erected across thse roadway along the Fox property. This action was flot altogether unexpected as thse town coundil had not given f avor- able consideration to Mm. Fox's de- mand for $130.00 yearly for tise use o! ber part o! thse road. The council took this attitude as they considered it was a mnatter for settlement be- tween the property owaers at thse lake using tise road and thse Fox es- tate and Brookdale Nurseries wiso own the road, it neyer havlng been a Publicly owned road aîthougs cit- izens isad access te it for many yeams. Excitement was runaing at a hlgh pitcis among the cottagers wbo wltis their autos were on thee laside look- ing otit or vice versa. During tise night however some zealous latrud- ers cut the wlres o! thse f ence but the biocicade was moon contlaued when it was found Out wisat isad happened. Iadividual members o! tise coun- cil were appealed to from every quarter, but most o! them contend- ed it was a private aff air and were Powerless te relieve the situation. As a final effort to solve tise dilemma the Beach Association petitioned the Council to provide them wlth a road.
