Feature of the Cnautauqua Gives Two
Performances and one Instructive
Lecture August 20 21
Since the dawn of intelligence in the
human race life has been shrouded in a
continuous veil of mystery We were
born in a misty haze we live and learn
and the mist becomes a cloud we enter
deaths door and the cloud becomes a
wall no living man can penetrateandyet
it is the shadowy mysteries all through
life that charm us that lead us on that
stimulate our imaginations that raise
us to the high state of present civiliza
tion Solve the mysteries that is every
mans problem it is his lnspiratioc his
pleasure in life
And now about Shungopavi Every
one loves mystery Shungopavi is the
greatest mystery of all A full blooded
Mosqui Indian a descendant of the
Cliff Dwellers a highly cultured and
educated gentleman Shungopavi is rec
ognized as the greatest magician and
weird wonder worker on the stage to
day
Shungopavi first created a eenBation
at the Worlds Fair at St Louib but
since that time the newspapers and
magazines haye made him famous the
world over
Shungopavi is accompanied by his
wife and by the charming Indian
maiden Juniata who cleverly assists
him in bis magic
Shungopavi gives two performances
at the Chautauqua and one lecture
relating the traditions mythology and
