Prof. John Duxbury, "England's Greatest Reciter," is more than a versatile elocutionist, more than a facile handler of words, more than a clear expressionist and character ac- tor.

Morning Prof. Duxbury was revealed the pow- er and depth of our tongue, its capa- bilities for rich intonation and fin: | nuances and its inherent beauty | when correctly spoken. | For his first recitation Prof. Dux- bury chose a portion of "Les Miser- ables," by Alexandre Dumas, in which is narrated the search of Je n Valjean, an escaped convict, for | kindn 3s, of the rebuffs which he re- | ceived at the doors of his fellow-men | during his quest for food and lodg- ing, of his gracious reception by a | kindly bishop at the Louse made for | the use of every man and where the ! door was never locked in the faces | of the owrld's unfortunates, of Lis | temptation and his theft of his bene- | factor"s silverware, of his subso- | quent arrest and of the bishops for- | giveness. It was a selection full of | pathos, translated from Dumas' bast style, and giving a rich opportunity tion which Prof. Duxbury possesses. | "The Shades Banquet." | As an encore Prof. Duxbury recit- | | ful purpose in bringing music and | oratory of the highest class within | the means of all the people the cl autauqua has already demonstrat- led its value. | The President, Leman Guild, and | Officers of the Rotary Club, are ap- | | preciative of the support which has | | been received during the first few | days of the Chautauqua engagement | | and-it is certain that the wide circle jot admirers of the principles on {which the Rotary international or- {ganization is founded will be still | {further expanded as a result of the | jefforts to strengthen community ap- | | preciation of music and letters. The | local organization has lead in this {respert in Kingston and it is a grati- | fication to the officers to note that [their efforts are commended, | The Ferguson Quintette. In spite of the heavy downpour of rain, the lack of appreciation of | | what was the exact nature of Chau-| { tauqua on the part of many citizens | {and also despite several counter at-| | tractions the tent was well-filled on | Saturday afternoon with music-lov- | young man whose geniality has al- ready won him many friends in the city, the quintette presented a well- balanced programme of songs. It consists of three charming young ladies endowed with splendid stage presence, Miss Exiv Burgess, so- prano, and her sister, Miss Frances Burgess, contralto, and Miss Margar- et Malowney, pianiste, and also H. OC. Ferguson, director of the organiza- tion and baritone, and Francis Diers, tenor. Hits from the comic operas, fav- orite songs of by-gone days, an op- eratic medley, sacred songs, negro character songs and other popular melodies endeared the quartette to the audience, and the solos of each member were also greatly appreciat- ed. Miss Frances Burgess rendercd "My Ain Folk," and "My Love is a Muleteer," in splendid voice, and ers who were entertained by the | Ferguson Quintette.

Mr. Diers | has a colorful tenor voice and sang | very sweetly "Little Mother o' Mine' | and "Marguerita." In the evening before the reading of Prof. Duxbury the quintette sang the comic operet- ta, "Martha," a romantic piece which gave splendid opportunity for the respectiv: abilities of the membe:s of the cast and was greatly enjoyed. Prof. Duxbury's Readings. Following the operetta Prof. Dux- bury was introduced by Rev. R. J. Wilson, who mentioned the excip- tionally fine advance reports that had come of the elocutionist's efforts and of the gratitude that would doubtless be expiessed to the Rotary Club and to the Domuaion Chautau- qua for bringing svea a distinguished speaker to Kingston. Prof. Duxbury was indeed a reve- lation. There are those who have mervelled at the slovenly, lazy and monotonous way in which the bean- tiful English language is spoken on the str- *s.

She was accom- | ed "The Shades' Banquet," an amus- | ing skit of the journey of such im- | mortals as Christopher Columbus, | Francis Bacon, William Shakes- peare and of some of the Victorian | poets across the River Styx in a first. | class steamer. After some prelimin- ary conversation among these dis- | tinguished gentlemen of all ages, | parodies on the nursery rhyme about | litte Jack Horner sitting in the corn- | er were presented in the best style of each of the poets present. It drew laughter and applause from the audience, demonstrating at the same | time the wide range of the abilities | of Prof. Duxbury. During the even- | ing he also delighted everyone with | some truly comical stories which ha | had gathered during his journeyings | in many countries. | | Sunday Evening Concert. i The interest being aroused in| Chautauqua was evidenced by the | very large crowd which attended the | sacred concert held later in the even- | ing. The large tent was led to | capacity, all of the available\ chairs! were occupied, and hundreds stood |] outside to listen to the splendid pro- | gramme organized by the Rotary cal talent. The president of the Rotary Club, L. A. Guild, acted as chairman, and in a few opening remarks, following | prayer by Dr. R. Bruce Taylor, stat- | ed that the Rotary Club had brought the Dominion Chautauqua to King- ston for two reasons, first, for ra educational and inspirational influ- ence, for Chautauqua was a power for good in the community; and sec- ondly, for any profit which might be derived. This latter, Mr. Guild :x- plained, would go toward the welfare work conducted by the club for the underprivileged boys and girls of tha city. Prof. John Duxbury, whose read- ings had been the delight of the early programmes of the Chautau- qua, gave a reading more particular- ly for the children. It was entitled | "Worms for Feathers" and pleased | young and old alike. Miss Jean Chown, whom Kingston is pleased to call her own contralto, charmed her audience with "I Lift My Heart to Thee by Michael Coste, | and as an encore rendered the old | by Miss Phyllis Knight, | was a sympathetic panied whose playing support. ------ City Composer Played. Another.of the city's talented mus- icians, Harold Packer, in a piano solo, "Spanish Dance," won the hearts of the audience. This delight- ful selection was of his own composi- tion. As an encore he gave "Minu- eto" by Beethoven. "O Divine Redeemer," by Gounod ¢ was pleasingly sung by Mrs. Jerome, | who is always favorably received. She received excellent support from her talented accompanist, Miss Fran- ces Devlin. If a concise address, Dr, R. Bruce Taylor spoke on "Chautauqua and Its Purpose." He described the ori- gin of the movement from a summer school, started at the place of the i [PEs 0 same name in New York state, which had evening programmes of a popu- lar nature. From this beginning two streams were derived, the uni- versity summer schools and the trav- elling organizations known as Chau- tauquas. These latter give what is inspirational in music, speech and letters. Through these events, dis- tricts, which otherwise could not have the privileges of hearing the good things of music and literature, have them brought to their doors. He hoped that this first Chautauqua would be the forerunner of many more in Kingston. He told of the ef- fort made by Queen's during the winter to bring artists to the city, $1,200 being set aside for this pur- pose. He also lauded the Rotary Club which he stated had endearel itself to the community by its unsel- fish work. Miss Christine Diack, accompanied by Miss Lois Taylor, gave the solo "Ninety and Nine" by Campion. The selection was a very pleasing one. The band of the PW.O.R. to no small extent assisted in the pro- gramme, giving three selections which were a credit to the organisa- tion and to its leader, W. J. Christ- mas. A varied programme consist- ing of "Maritana," by Wallace; "Largo" by Handel and "Perfect it (Continued on Page 7) PROBS: --Fine and somewhat warmer.
