The same high standard which has
been maintained for recent years in
the selection of material for the pro-
gram of the Mountain Chautauqua
will characterize the offering for 1908.
The constant aim is to get the best -
no matter what the cost may be. Men
of national and international reputa-
ton are numerous in this years pro-
gram. A few of the old favorites re-
turn-those for whom there is spec
ial demand on the part of many of
the patrons of the Park-many new
faces will be seen and voices heard
but in no instance will anyone be in
vited to the platform of the Mountain
Chautauqua who has not honestly
achieved success in some special line
Of work and who is not worthy of a
hearing. 1t is, OF course, impossible
with the money limitations to be con
fronted, and with the great length of
the season, including, as it does, one
hundred and twenty entertainment
hours to provide Star of the first
magnitude" for every hour. There
are not stars enough of this class to
60 around.
Greater variety than ever will char
acterize the program of the present
season. An attempt will be made to
crafty all taste, and thus in the end

tertainment hour to the enormous
sum of four cents. Many contracts
