CHAUTAUQUA Is
LOOMING LARGE

]
of Entertainment at Price all Can
Pay. Some Strong Lecture Mum
bers on the Program. Music fea
ture. A New Set Of Attraction,
Each Day.
The Community Chautauqua il
looming up larger every day. The
Committees in charge Of the advertis
ing and the sale Of tickets have begur
their work, and If the present indica
tions mean anything il looks very
much as if the Chautauqua is going L
be a glorious success.
The event will begin August 9th
and will close five days later, 1t is
bringing a great list of musical ar
fists, lecturers and entertainers tc
town, and if the man who holds a sea
son ticket can't get his moneys worth
out Of the Chautauqua he is looking
for something besides the best.
The plan Of the committee is to
make the Chautauqua so low in cost
as to include everybody. In fact, on
the season ticket plan, these splendid
programs can be heard for few cents
a number. The season ickets admit to
all sessions, and there are no extras
of any sort,
Two Programs Day
Two programs will be given on each
Of the five days. The outstanding fea-
ture of the five days will be music, of
which there will be a great abundance.
An entirely different and distinct set
of artists and lecturers will come for
each of the five days, so no two days
will be alike. These Chautauqua tai
ent folks will move direct from this
place to some other Chautauqua,
where theye will hold forth the follow
ing day. They travel in complete
circuit and appear in as many as sew
enty towns and cities in seventy days
time, making town day.
A large waterproof tent will be
pitched in the early morning Of the
day of the Chautauqua, or the evening
previous, and al the sessions will be
held in the cool, shady, out-of-doors.
Many patrons will find it pleasant to
combine the Chautauqua with p picnic
or outing on one or more OF the days
of the week, providing a picnic lunch
con to be eaten in some shady spot in
the two or three hour interval between
the afternoon and evening programs.
A most cordial and hearty invitation
is extended by the committee in charge
to the folks who live in the country
and in the neighboring towns. Their
hope is to make the Chautauqua a
community affair pure and simple.
They are emphasizing the fact that it
is not just for this town alone, but is
for all the people of the surrounding
country.
There has been some talk Of an au-
tomobile excursion into the country
and neighboring towns, inviting every
body into the Chautauqua. 1t is said
that more than two-thirds of the
Chautauqtias on the Community list
last year took trips Of this kind last
season and are planning more exten-
sively for sociability runs this year
A Strong Program
The program is all that could be
desired. 1t is apparent that the man
agement has spared no expense in
making it a grand week from mus
ical, an artistic and an inspirational
standpoint.
The coming of Frederick Warde is
in itself an event of extraordinary in
terest, especially in this Shakespear-
can tercentenary year. Mr.. Warde
will appear on the third day in a
lecture recitation on Shakespeare and
His Plays
Other notable features are Victor's
Florentine Band and Neapolitan Trou-
oadours on the fourth day. The Band
