They dubbed, him “Kill the Blues Cope,” and so note­ worthy was his record that ho received honorable mention by the Morale Offi­ cers, of the Army and Navy. So much for the story of Cope. Yon need, his message of cheer—-his resist­ less medley of fun, common sense and magnetic pathae. ___ , Cameron McLean is a Scotch Humoristglnger of Harry Lauder Style i Headed by Cameron McLean, famous Scotch singing comedian of the iHarry Lauder style,' this trio of artists will delight Chautauqua audiences on the second day o f our program, Mr,'McLean started singing fia a boy as a member o f a boys’ choir in St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Glasgow, Scotland, ttear which place he was born on the banks of the Clyde. Since then he has jrcmg all over the world, Winning medals and prizes in contests for which the Scotch and Welsh are famous. Unlike the usual singing humorist, Mr, SfcLcan had a beautiful Voice, well trained'by the beat masters and in addition to the humorous numbers, he will contribute solos of the highest quality aSttfi artistry. He creates enthusiasm whenever he sings and you will like him immensely. He’s an artist with personality pins—which means great success, * , ■ . - , ■ _ His two assistants are splendid artists, too. Miss Donla Eva Case Is a potite JUttl* lady who sings songs, presents child impersonations, and plays the plahOT She nas a beautiful coloratura soprano voice. Miss Elsie Apathy. is a Cellist o f ability, playing that difficult Instrument with skill and good taste. “Take tny word for it* fellows, it pays to he clean, John Barleycorn’s a poor bunkje, I know, for I’ve practiced at the bar.” * Three thousand khaki-dad lads leaned and listened. Up thefe on the Y platform a chap who looked as though.he might he In his late thir­ ties, but who had written on his coun­ tenance the lines which mark the man who in sad experience has lived a thousand years, was speaking. Galea o f laughter had., awept the crowd. Beautiful hits of imagery had taken an army of homesick boys hade across the by-ways erf their country to the little spot they called home. There was an indescribable atmosphere in the great auditorium, and the hearts o f listener* were mellow and impres­ sionable. And then this man who had seen life—who knew, out of the wealth of h i* experience that all is not gold that glitters—who had eaten the husks with the prodigal—turned his flashing humor to point an everlasting truth. Gripping, sincere, honest—bis words rang out to qvery comer o f the great army theater, and took hold. The boys Instinctively knew that here was a teacher who interpreted life as it. is— who had been down the stony road to •Jericho—Who had fallen on the way of life but had not .lost the vision—who had fought and faUen'again, and in tire great climactic epoch 'which the war had'opened had found himself and had come back. “ Go to it, Paddy, give it to ’em,” yelled the boys, and Paddy smiled and gave it to 'em. H e hit straight from the shoulder at the things which de­ stroy, and the light of new resolve Shone in-the eyes of more than one boy, amid his tears and smiles. And, seeing through mists, even the Doubting Onlooker could not but feel that Herbert- Leon Cope had Indeed come hack! * * • 1 .V- ' Herbert Leon Cope!. A name to conjure with in Chautauqua circles eight years ago. Proclaimed by Gov­ ernor Fennypacker of Pennsylvania, "funnier than Bill Nye,” A humorist- lecturer with a serious purpose back o f every smile, he made the greatest return date record recorded, return­ ing as many as twelve times in a few .seasons, and speaking to constantly increasing audiences. ■.i And then he disappeared. It was the old story of success, good fellowship, good times, dissipation and the. down­ ward path. But John Barleycorn's deadening poison never entirely killed the spirit or Cope. The mills o f the gods were grinding—they ground exceeding fine —and their product In the heart of Cope was pure gold: Against his phys­ ical weakness the golden spirit fought on, John Barleycorn had him groggy, and almost out, but the growing feci leg o f antagonism to the liquor busi- ness throughout the nation fired him with an ambition to help put his own great enemy down and out, and with all the strength of his great platform art Cope struck back. His speeches helped to put his own Michigan county, dry; then he was campaign manager fo r twelve counties In the state—carried them all—and was one of the big factors in swinging Michigan to the dry column. Then came the War and the Great Opportunity, Like thousands of other men, whose spirits leaped to meet the challenge o f the new day, Cope facet! the fact that in his youth he had burned the oils of Vitality, and that the fight was fpr the physically strong. The spirit of the Crusader was in his heart, but the fleeh was weak. And then he saw the way. Here weril millions o f fresh young Amerl cans, many of them for the first time away from their home environments Here was the plastic clay with which the master should model the Ultimate Victory. Here was the golden oppor­ tunity for the prodigal, who had sinned and suffered, to interpret truth, build character and help forge the weapons of courage and confidence.- Into the new work Cope threw him- self with characteristic energy and vigor. He knew his ground, and he was old enough, and wise enough, to cloak his fighting gospel in the garb of laughter* Up and down the great camps he went, speaking every day, sometimes five and six times. And, as he went his reputation grew. Commanding offi­ cers marked and marveled at the im­ proved morale which followed his ap­ pearance. "Y ” secretaries and welfare men fought each Other for Ills time, and,invited him back and hack again, They sent him on to brother secre­ taries with notes of introduction say­ ing,'"This Is the best man .we’ve had,” and other commendatory things. And one secretary sized Cope up in action, glimpsed the artistry of the platformist, the depth of his UUman ex­ perience, and above ail the deep and abiding sincerity of his “come'back’’ and wrote to his fellow secretaries these words: "I have seen Herbert Leon Cope In action. He bats a thousand every time up and the grandstand shouts for joy.' Cope has his audience with him from the beginning, and they are with him to the eUd. He does what he wants to them and they like i t To say he is a headliner iB good; but the 'headlines do not tell it all. .If you have the chance to get him, don't let the opportunity slip. You can save on your drug bill, too—just a little Tint-' ment for an over-worked laughing muscle” . More than a million doughboys and marines saw Cope In action, too. They dubbed him, "Kill *the Blues Cope,’.* and so noteworthy was his record with' them that' he received honorable' men­ tion by Morale Officers of the Army and Navy, and in some' camps men were detailed to hear him Instead of to drill. He spoke at more camps, and to more men, than any other lecturer or entertainer In America. For four­ teen monU a he filled the enlisted men to overflowing with smiles .and laugh­ ter, pounded home his lesson of clean living with tremendous power, stiff, ened the sinews o f the Yanks for vic­ tory, and earned his right to come hack to the Chautauqua—the scene of his first triumphs. And so Herbert Leon Cppe joins the ranks o f The Men Who Have Come Back! The world needs his message of cheer—his resistless medley o f fun, common sense, classic beauty' and magnetic pathos, and the millions who have been touched by his ’latest and greatest service are a unit In their prophecy of greater laurels to be his In days to come, for no man in America has bo demonstrated, before the most discerning audience in the world—the soldier boys—the possession of every attribute which makes for platform greatness. DIB YOUHAVE THEFLU? Chautauqua Lecturer to Tell How Its Spread Should Be Presented Next Winter Public health conditions following the Influenza epidemic last winter" pointedly call attention to the necessi­ ty for the spreading of authentic in­ formation as to what communities can do to be saved the recurrence of such epidemics, Chautauqua likes to take hold of such opportunities for service so it began toinake the necessary in­ quiry and found that the best method was for a number o f Chautauqua Bu­ reaus to cooperate' in securing the speakers who have had the necessary experience and who possess the Infor­ mation and are able to impart it in­ terestingly and entertainingly to a Chautauqua audience. Co-Operation of the American Bed Cross was asked a** tKhofcifc Hit axt***ta ♦** borne by the Chautauqua man­ agements. The Red Cross officials know who can do this work author!: tatively. Our Chautauqua Is fortunate in se­ curing the services of Miss Edith Ma« derla who was Chief Nurse of the Red Cross Commission under Dr, John H. Finley to Palestine, where she went in 1918 and from which service she has only lately returned. MI bs Maderia is a graduate of Johns Hopkins Training School; was formerly Superintendent of Howard Hospital, Philadelphia; for­ merly Superintendent Visiting Nurse Association,, Harrisburg, Pa., before she entered the Red Cross work dur­ ing the war. She Is fully competent, not only because of her training and experience bUt because of hef ability as a speaker, to bring to Chautauqua audiences the beet methods for pre­ venting the spread o f epidemics— methods for t|ie Individual add for the community to follow—home hygiene and the care of the sick, the value of a public health nurse in every com­ munity, and other related subjects. As Miss Maderia has but lately returned from Palestine, it is more than likely, she will have something to say about the work of nurses in that far off war zone. That the greatest value may come fo„us, arrangements, have been made for Miss Maderia to conduct a round­ table,after her lecture. She also will be pleased to advise with groups of people such as Mother's Meetings, or in Child Welfare Discussions, and to give demonstrations along lines of household hygiene, sanitation, dietetics and other matters connected with pub­ lic health, It is the desire Of the Chau­ tauqua management that as much help to all be secured from Miss ttmtatiaV v ^ t 'a e I# JA m M * uiilltiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiliiiilllinflltmiuiitiUiifllii A .
