CHAUTAUQUA Time
Will SOON BE HERE

1t will soon be Chautauqua time
There are so many things to be done
that we are now getting into the cam
paign. Enclosed herewith you will find
a brief announcement of the attrac-
los that are to appear on the program.
This announcement cannot fully con-
vey to you the idea of the wealth of
talent which is to appear on the pro-
gram, but the advertising campaign
which we are planning through the
newspapers, and through our official
printed program, ETC., will take this
up more in detail.
The Kaffir Boy Choir from Africa,
real 'bushers,'' will come first in most
peoples minds as the big attraction
next summer. The New York City Ma
rine Band will perhaps be a close sec
ond The moving picture lecture on
the South Pole Expedition by Sir
Douglas Mawson, the lecture on "Tal-
low Dips" by Robert Parker Miles, as
well as Lou Beauchamp's popular lee
lures, and those of Sylvester A. Long,
will appeal to all thinking people as
first class in their respective lines.
In the engagement of the Riner Sis
ters, humor has been given a more
prominent place on next summers Is pro
gram than it has had before. There
is probably no better entertainment
company in the business than this
splendid company of humorists.
One of the liveliest issues before
the American public just now is the
question of a better court procedure.
Ex- President Taft has written several
articles about this, and in March and
April we are promised by the Satur
day Evening Post two very fine arti-
cles by Judge Wanamaker of the Su-
preme Court of Ohio The Judge has
already had several contributions in
this great magazine, and we have
therefore asked him to come to us and
give us a lecture next summer on
''The People and Their Courts.o
Judge Wanamaker is one of the liv-
est men it has been our privilege to
meet. But more of him later.
We have purchased new equipment
throughout for our Chautauquas this
coming summer, and you are promised
the best of everything in the conduct
of the coming assembly. This system
now stands second to none in America.
Most of you doubtless know that un-
der our plan new Chautauqua is
opened each day, seven Chautauquas
running at a time. Starting April 20
at FL PasO Texas, the first week of
MAY is devoted to the Chautauquas OF
Arizona and New Mexico. The balance
of the month of May will be spent in
California, from whence the system
swings into Nevada and Utah for the
first two weeks in June. The third
week will be given up to Eastern Ore
gon and Washington. From thence the
system will swing back to Western
Oregon for the first three weeks in
July. The last week in July will be
spent en- route to Montana, where two
weeks more viii be given in August.
There will be two circuits of approx
imately one hundred Chautauquas in
each one. To handle them successfully
will require an expense of nearly half
million dollars 1t would be well for
your association to organize soon, as
you will find grounds committee, ad-
vertising committee and ticket commit
tee indispensable to a successful Chau-
tauqua.
Yours very truly,
ELLISON WHITE CHAUTAUQUA
