The Community Chautauqua is looia
; ing up larger every day The committee,
in charge OF the advertising and the
sale OF tickets have begun their work
and if the present indications mean any
thing it looks very much as II the Chau.
tauqua in Barre is going TO be a glorious
success
The event will begin August 2 and
will close five days later. 1t is bringing
a great list OF musical artists, lecturers
and entertainers 10 town, and if the man
who holds season 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 10 in
clude everybody. In fact. on the season
ticket plan, these splendid programs can
be heard for few cents a number The
season tickets admit 70 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 lea
ture of the five days viii 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 talent folks
will move direct from this place TO some
other Chautauqua, where they will hold
forth on the following day, They travel
in a complete circuit and appear in as
many as seventy towns and cities in
seventy days time, making town a
day.
A large waterproof tent win be
pitched in the early morning of the day |
of the Chautauqua, or the evening pre-
vious, and all the sessions will be held /
in the cool shady out-of doors Many |
patrons will find it pleasant to combine I
the Chautauqua with a picnic or outing |
one one or more of the days of the week,
providing a picnic luncheon to be eat
en- in some shady spot in the two or
three hour interval between the after
noon 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 EN-
phasi2ing the fact that it is not just for
this town alone, but is for all the peo-
pie OF the surrounding country.
There has been some talk oil an auto
mobile excursion into the country and {
towns, inviting everybody \
into the Chautauqua 1t is said that
more than two thirds of the Chautauquas !
on the community list last year took
trips Of this kind last season and are
planning more extensively for sociability
runs this year
