Idaho State Chautauqua Association
which will be held in the Pinney
Theatre June 10 to 29 will present
the strongest list of musical numbers
yet offered to the people of Idaho
and at a price which is ridiculous
ly low compared to the cost of SINH
lar entertainments presented under
other auspices. The season tickets
for the Chautauqua are only s3.5C
for adults and thirty lecture or .read'
ings, ten concerts and a number OF
minor attractions. These are all Civ
en- in the beautiful Pinney Theatre,
the large assembly room of the Boz
Sc High School and the auditorium
of the Y. NJ. c. A., wherethe seating
capacity is ample and the rooms
are we'll ventilated and cool. The
Chautauqua Association has also ar
ranged for supplying rooms to those
who attend its sessions at a very low
cost thus making it possible to spend
ten days of Chautauqua in Boise at
less than most vacations cost and at
! the same time enjoy many rare
treats in music and literature and
the arts.
Five former members of the Theo-
dore Thomas Orchestra compose the
Schumann Quintet which will be the
first musical attraction. They will rem
der a varied program of selections
from the bset operas and they have
a reputation as being among the
very best on the concert platform.
They carry with them a specially corr
structed organ which assists in pro-
ducing the effect of a large orches-
ira and such is their ownskill and
artistic merit that they have won a
wide reputation among lovers of
music. The Cambridge players rem |
der a program which is partly music !
and partly reading. They carry wi h !
rancs, a regular soloist at the Oak
Park and many other of the fashion
able churches of that city. They "a,
so produce scenes from the classic
and modern plays. Several sketches
from Shakespeare will be produced

books which have been big sellers
