The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1920-02-21
Chautauqua To Include
Many Great Features.
Steffanson, Great Artic Explorer
To Lecture On His Travels

The Iberian is in receipt of the fol.
lowing letter from the ElllsonW White
Chautauqua System
Portland Oregon, February J., 1920.
1t is almost Chautauqua time again.
Your dates will be April 5. 6, !, $, 9,
10 and II.
The marvel of Chautauqua is its
&c Dnomy. With the ever increasing
use of season tickets peope are ena-
bled to hear good talent at lower
cost than ever before No other gen
eral form of amusement operates on
so narrow margin or with such close
ly organ lzed effort. Vijhalmur Ste
faussoo lectured here last winter on
hts AIct1c explorations at 81 % per
seat: he drew more than $1,000 90.
You may hear Stetansson next sum-
mer on the season ticket pan ior APP
proximately l0c.
There is fundamental reason be-
hind this season ticket economy which
we sometimes overlook. 1t IS that
Chautauqua may really be democratic.
Moi everyone can dig up s 30 to bear
one man lecture, but nearly every
can find ~ 30 during year for a
weeks high grade entertainment.
Never before has Chautauqua been so
popular as now, and the low pr ced
season ticket is one of the big reaso:.s.
Among other attractions are the
Pereira Sextette; Julius Caesar
Nayphe; Mary Adel Hays; f &. Fish;
'KINDLING" given by Maurice
Brown Players; The Parneils; An ev
ening in New Zealand; Fred Il. Bale;
and the Welsh Ladies Choir.
Get ready for a Big Chantauqua
Our OF gamer will arrive in about a
month and we will notify your com
mittee of his coming.
Yours cordially.

One of the greatest disadvantages
of living in the small cities is the fact
that a person misses much Of the Ma
tlonsl characters who from time to
time appear in the larger centers to
tell of their experiences.
THIS disadvantage has been realized,
and overc, me by the Chautauqua
System, that makes it possible through |
organization for the smaller towns to
establIsh connections with the Great
Outside World
AT CHAUTAUQUA
ELLISON-WHlTE announce for the
1920 Chautauquas cne of the biggest
lecture scoops" in recent years in the
OF VIljhalmur Stefanssou,
the famous Arctic explorer. >tefans
sons name as the dlscOverer OF the
'blonde Eskimo" and the explorer
of 100000 square miles of the Polar
regions has echoed around the wortd
THEODORE ROOSEVELT SAID,
"Stetansson, there are few men In the
world whom | envy, but you are one
of them"
REAR ADMIRAL ROBr E. PEARY
SAYS: "Stefansson has taken the
white mans brains into the Polar re
giops. and has evolved way to make
himself absolutely self-sustainiug
He conld have lived in! the Arctic
fifteen and half years just as easil,
as five and half years By combin-
ing great pa,ural. physical and men
tai ability with hard. practical com
mon sense, he has accomplished what
he has accomplished. and made an
absolute record"
In this way New iberia is to be- en-
tertained and instructed this Spring
by the WOrlO's greatest explorer; by
some of Americas leading musical
talent, aud other features that only
the largest cities could finance without
the Chautauqua Organization
This is a long stride forward tor us
Let's make the 1920 meeting a su, cess,
and our Chatauqua will be perma
