Kids Are Nuisances
at Wednesdays Show

Wednesday night was kids night
There we're more children to see
David Garrick" than at any other at
traction this year. They made up full
ly one-third Of the audience, and they
made about five-sixths Of the noise.
They turned on and off the electric
bulbs on the bleachers and spotted
people with flashlights, they Kissed
and cheered and shouted; and some of
EN-, not very many, giggled most Of
the time.
Banner crowds came to both per-
formances Wednesday. AS usual, peo-
pie had to stand up in the afternoon,
and in the evening a big flock of UNI
brellas outside the tent showed that
there were many who preferred to
stand In the rain rather than miss the
play.

All But Richmond
Have Auditoriums

The Richmond Chautauqua is the
only one of its size where the company
has played that has not permanent
auditorium. says John Miller. manager
of the Chicago operate company
1--WE have played in only two or
three tents this summer, and nowhere
where the Chautauqua was anywhere
near as large as the one here" said
Miller. Fine steel pavilions and elab-
crate wooden and concrete construc-
tons are at most of the towns we
visited. The tent is a thing of the
past, and I'm surprised that Richmond
hasn't gotten rid of hers long ago."

Chautauqua Talent
Likes Independent
Circuits Better

The men and women who have ap-
Feared before the Richmond Chautau-
qua are unanimous in one thing
that they prefer to appear before an
independent Chautauqua rather than
one on circuit.
There's so much better spirit, they
say, so much more enthusiasm, and
friendliness In circuit chautauqua,
the company pitches its tent in a
schoolyard or vacant lot; the people
come in and hear and leave, and that g
all there is to it. In community at
fair its different.
Just one feature Of the Independents
is disliked by the performers. It's the
long jumps. Not being on circuit,
they may appear one day in Missouri
and the next in Indiana, while the cir
cult folks go only from one town to
the next.

AUDITORIUM COST
TOO HEAVY NOW

Now is bad time to talk about
building permanent auditorium, says
F. F. Riggs, secretary Of the Chautau-
qua association. but it is barely posi-
BILE that the association will take steps
this fall to provide one.
Cost of materials is so high, says
Riggs, that to build now would cost
fully fifty percent more than it would
have done three years ago.
An auditorium which would have
cost $4,000 then would cost about
$4,000 or $4,000 now, and that sum
would be needed to put up an adequate
auditorium
Steel alone, which when the auditor
ium was first projected, could have
been bought for one and half cents a
pound. now would cost five or six, and
other things are in proportion.
Riggs said that if the auditorium
were built, however, he believed that
1t would pay for itself in five or six
years, and that the association might
take action this fall.

Attractions Cost

The Richmond chautauqua is the

There are total of ninety-nine at

and season tickets cost $3.50. So, for
the season ticket-holder, the chautau-
qua costs just one and one-half cents

Program This Year
Most Costly Ever

The 1917 Chautauqua program, pro
bounced the best ever, is also the
most expensive ever.
More than $4,000 was paid out by the
management this year for the talent
alone. An average of $500 day has
been paid for the attractions.
Total expenses of the chautauqua are
tentatively estimated for the year as
something like $4,000. This includes
advertising. tents, talent, and all Incl
dental expenses.
Bryan was the most expensive sim
gle attraction, and the Chicago Opera
tic company make the most expensive

next year is promised by the manage.
