The 1916 Oklahoma Durbar

There seems to be an impression in
some circles that the far famed Okla
lahoma durbar has been abandoned
Just how such "a report should have
gotten abroad is hard to determine
IN view of the huge success of last
years durbar and the determination
or Tulsans to make ii an annual af-
fair that in future years II will be as
big thing as the Mardi Gras Is for
New Orleans
The durbar will not be abandoned {:
1t is folly to even think Of giving it up
after all the effort and money that
mas been spent by patriotic citizens to
perpetuate 1t as Il strictly Tulsa insti-
tuition.
Some argue that on account of the
grand opera engagements this fall the
durbar should be foregone for one
season. But the durbar and grand
opera are two entirely separate mat
terS The opera comes in October.
while the durbar must be held a
month earlier. To a large extent each
affair will appeal to an absolutely
different class of people. Essentially
the durbar is a poor mans celebra-
tlon. 1t is rich in its pageantry. but
at the same time it is free; il can be
appreciated equally by the poor and
by the wealthy. 1t is the greatest in
stltution of its kind in Oklahoma and
draws thousands Of visitors to the
city.

IN favor Of grand opera, and fol-
lowing is an excerpt from a letter that
he wrote to The World:
Tulsa has never had ANYTHING
more beneficial and more successful

make them still more beneficial they
must be made annual We have n
reputation for giving a good celebra-
ton and | know of nothing that
would be more short-sighted than
railing to make it an annual event.
