PLATFORM-CARTOONIST TO
ENTERTAIN
In Joy the Fourth Afternoon With Mls»
Weller at Chautauqua.
A program unique and original It
•chednied for Chautauqua on thi
fourth afternoon. Beatrice Stuart
Weller Is easily classed as one of tht
best platform cartoonists In the coun
try. Her pleasing personality and
happy smile win her audience lmme
diately and when she begins to deftly
depict phases of human nature as eh'
Ever expect the unexpected of
Constance Talmadge, though you
may, her sudden leap from comedy
character to the poignancy of little
Ming Toy in the famous play "East
is West,'' will catch many unawares
—and delight them all the more. The
fact that It is an eight reel produc-
tion and the most distinctive achie-
vement of the effervescent star are
stated in latest communique from
the Hex Theatre where the picture
will be shown Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
The career of Ming Toy is fraught
with surprises. They start when she
is offered at auction as a wife slave
aboard the Love Boat in Shanghai.
Her escape with the aid of Billy Ben-
son, an American, is both thrilling
and humorous; and, transported to
Sun Francisco as the ward of a waal-
liy Chinese merchant and friend of
Billy Benson, she experiences remar-
kable re-actions to what she assumes
is American life as glimpsed through
he window of a tough dance hall.
When the mission intervenes and It
becomes necessary to marry Ming
Toy to someone, Charlie Yong, pro-
prietor of several chop suey palaces,
elects himself for the post and Ming
oy to the assortment of wives he
already boasts. But on the day her
marriage is arranged Billy Benson,
the American, returns to claim her.
And once again the drama flings
away into unusual currents deep
in photographic entertainment.
A big and successful season Is
forecasted for "East is West." No-
thing has been spared to make it
sumptuous in Oriential coloring or
to fill every part with a player of
distinct ability. Thus the support-
ing cast reveals Edward Burns, War-
ner Oland, Frank 1.aiming, E. A.
Warren, Winter Hall and Nick De-
Ruiz among its members. Sidney
Franklin hag directed it as a First
National attraction.
.
Big crowds attend every aeaelon
ot the Chautauqua and the audience
Me highly pleased with the enter-
tainment offered by each attraction.
Saturday night there waa something
unusual in the way ot a lecture, a
Chinese author and editor apeaktng
in a most entertaining and instruc-
tive manner on "China and the Fu-
ture Peace of the Pacific." Alice
Louise Schrode is a cute little enter-
tainer, and waa especially pleasing
to the children. Charles Mitchel
Mixer's Orchestral Quartet gave two
good performances Sunday, assisted
at night by James Hamilton, tenor.
Tonight Tom Skeyhlll, a Chautauqua
lecturer who Is well and favorably
known here will be the attraction
Saturday night Arthur Wange-
mann, president ot the local Chau-
tauqua association, made a short
talk reporting that the guarantors
had sold more than enough tickets
to pay tlio guarantee, the oversale
being more tbau $200. Mr. Wan
gemanu took occasion publicly to ex.
press appreciation of the work done
by those who were instrumental in
putting the Chautauqua over, and
especially mentioned the manager

Tom Skeyhlll spent five months, during the winter of 1020, In the heart

a first-hand glance at general European conditions, to obtain additional lufor-
matlon for his lecture. "The New Renaissance of European Civilisation."
Bkeyhlll's personal story Is a most Interesting one. In 1014 he entered the
war with an Australian Ansae division. He was blinded In the famous Dar
danelles campaign, and for two years groped about In unfathomable darkness
With the recovery of his sight came health again and renewed vigor, and
It was the indomitable spirit of the soldier which caused him to undertake
his two European trips.

are glad to do what we can for all
enterprises that will benefit or
please the public, and when our ef-
forts receive recognition from those
we have endeavored to help, we feel
amply repaid. And we wish to say
right here that no man in Brenham
has worked more faithfully and en-
ergetically for the Chautauqua than
has Mr. Wangemann, the efficient
president.
From w hat we can learn the Chau-
tauqua patrons as a whole are great-
ly pleased with the program so far,
and the best Is yet to come.
