Second Day's Program of As
sembly Maintain Standard
Set By First
EXCELLENT PROGRAM BY
METROPOLITAN ORGHES.
Large Audiences Fill Big Tent
At Afternoon and Evening
Sessions
niimiiIs
Features ot tho second day oC the
Mt. Vernon Chautauqua ussomhly
were equal In all respects to the high
standard sot by tho porformors und
artists ot the first day. ' .
Tho big tent was almost filled Wed
nesday afternoon by tho audience that
came to listen to tho program offer
ed by the Metropolitan orchestra. At
the afternoon session these musicians
had the entlro tlmo to thcurdolvcs.
In tho evening thoy divided th0 time
-with John B. Itatto, tho Impersonator.
: Tho concert programs of tho Metro
politan included popular orchestra
tions that woro most appealing. The
interpretation with musical sotting of
tho great story of tho opera, "Madamo
1 Butterfly," was tho crowning feature
ot tho afternoon session.
In tho company were four young
ladles and a gentleman. In their cos
tumes and with their high graffo en
tertainment tholr contribution to tho
pleasure of their patrons was well re
celved. Tho conclusion of tho afternoon
program was marked by an amusing
incident. Tho members of the Metro
politan company were grouped on tho
platform to acknowledge the demon
stration of applauso and favor given
them by the audlenco. As the stage
curtain was boing raised it caught
and pulled out of her hands the violin
ot Miss Effio Ryan, a member of tho
company. Tho dlslnayod and frantic
effortB of Miss Ilyan to catch and to
vri lecover unharmed and uninjured her
violin, a really vahiablo Instrument,
were as amusing and diverting as thoy
were natural and unaffectod. For
tunately Miss Ryan was ablo to re
trieve her instrument without it hav
ing suffered any harm. Tho incident
provided a bit ot unanticipated and
unrehearsed diversion that provoked
not a bid of merriment.
Tho assistance ot tho members of
tho Metropolitan prchostra to Mr.
John B. Itatto, impersonator, who gave
his program of Impersonations' in tho
evening was highly commendable
when ho gave his presentation offomo
of tho world's greatest musical com
posers. That John B: Itatto is tho best im
personator who over ontertained a
Mt: Vernon audlenco was expressed
by a very great many after tho close
of his entertainment. Itatto surely Is
a wonder. His imporsonatlon of an
American farmor and tho main per
former at a barn dance was killing;
his impersonation of a 105 por cent
American of Gorman extraction ex
pressed fun and mirth that was hard
to beat tho "Dutchman's" expression
of indignation at being tbld that
"Goorgo Washington nevor told a Uo
or nover stolo a dollar-fulfil thoy lock
up tho banks on his birthday'' boing
"moro truth than poey."
One of the striking features of Mr.
Ratto's entertainment was his "his
torical and patriotic roviow" includ
ing striking impersonations of the
groat characters of international life
today. Tho speech delivered by Mr.
Ratto aB ho presented each of theso
characters was up to date and timo
ly, featuring tho World war from Pet
er of Serbia's answer to Austria's in
solent demand to th0 welcoming of
the United States as ono of the Allies
by President Poincalre.
Assisted by tho Metropolitan or
chestra Mr. Ratto devoted soniu tlmo
to. a notablo musical review. Ono min
ute biographies of notable composers
including Bizet, Mendelssohn, Verdi,
Wagnor, and Rossini woro onllvened
brought to Hfo by Mr.' Ratto's im
personations, of theso celebrities. Mr.
Ratto had with him a wonderful as
sortment ot equipment for his make
ups, his costumer and dresser tor his
" art being forinorly' ownod by Joo Jef
ferson. Mr. Ratto was a newsboy in Ghlca
go years ago, and his careen as an
entortalnor began in Dr. Gunsaulus'
church there
On account of tho wonderful enter
talnmont given by Mr. Ratto tho fol
lowing concerning tho origin of
"make-up" may bo of interest:
In tho days of ancient Rome, ac
tors used masks representing anger,
hato, comedy nnd trngody and hold
them up before their faces while they
fjpoko tho linos of tho character thoy
wished to represent.
Tho first record of real "mako-up"
was during tho Middle Ages when tho
monks of that purlod gave some real
ism to tho diameters thoy represent
ed In tholr biblical and mlrnclu plays.
Tho "muke-ups" were very primitive.
For Instance, horses tails woro fast-
ouod to tho actors' heads with strips
of leather for the effect of u wig,
and their faces were stulned with
dyes made from tho plants and herbs.
Tho theatrical profession used no
"mako-up" until after the time of
Shakespeare, in fact, during Shakes
WKreVnJtK'tho performers nppeurod
oW tnff stiil In their regular street
Vp8S,)yenvtho monjjnlaylug various
p'drts wifiifDb sign of make-up"! '
After the Ellzubethun' period, 'tho
now idea started with u bit of car
mine, charred wood unil chalk. It has
since grown until today it is an art
in Itself. Greaso paints aro made in
30 or 40 different colors, und theso,
with the aid of wigs, enable a perform
er to present characters ot many typos
and ages.

STATEMENT ISSUED
BY PENNSY RAILWAY
Relative To Shopmen's Strike
As It Affects The Penn
sylvania System
Tho following statement regarding
the bhopmen's strike, as It affects tho
Pennsylvania railroad, was Issued to
day from tho olllco of Muster Mechan
ic Walsh of tho Mt. Vernon shops:
Tho most luvonililii Klru.'itliiti Hint
Kris existed oil tho Pennsylvania sys
tem at any time slnco tho shopmen's
utriko began on July 1 was disclosed
In today's report from all regions ot
il'.iu system.
"Consistent and satisfactory gains
wero shown in tho forces of every ro
glon. Tho total number ot shopmen
actually working on tho entire sys
tem is 42836, an Increase of 181 over
'a week ugo. An aveiage weekly force
would bo approximately 55,000.
"Tho eastern region and tho AI
toona works combined have made a
net gain, us compared with u week
ago, of 420 men, actually working;
the central region has gained 740 men,
tho uorOhwostorn region 351, and tho
southwestern 354 men.
"Tho movement of freight during
tho week just ended was tho heaviest
that has been handled on tho Penn
sylvania system sinco the closing
week In MarcAi last, when local traf
fic was abnormally high in anticipa
tion of the Suspension In mining.
Tho total number of freight cars dis
patched last week was 754,872, and
this total would have been consider
ably larger but for tho fact that, tho
current movement of coal Is only ap
proximately one-third of normal.
"From Uho point of on-timo per
formance, tho freight movemenut last
week was practically 100 per cent
perfect
"Promptness ot dispatching was
considerably above normal and un
usually good records wcro mado In
tho return of empty refrigerator and
stock cars in order that the transpor
tation of food supplies could bemaln
tallied uninterruptedly.
"Normal on-tlmo performance was
maintained in passenger service in all
portions of tho system. At no time
sinco the strike began has any train
movement either passenger or freight
been cancelled or Interfered with by
any developments connected with tho
strike, on any portion of tho Penn
sylvania system." -
