CHAUTAUQUA IS
DRAWING LARGE
CROWDS DAILY
Redpath's Program This
Year of Unusual Merit
and Greatly Appreciated
By the People of County.
The Redpath Chautauqua opened
Saturday afternoon and has played
to capacity audiences at every
performance. The program is -i
good one throughout and an in
creasing attendance and interest
is manifested each day.
Tonight (Wednesday) great in
terest is centered in the s play,
"Friendly Enemies," which will be
greeted by an audience that will
tax the capacity of the tent.
The Chautauqua will close with
the evening performance on
Thursday with a concert by the
Kublic Company and the lecture,
"The Wonders of Burbank," by
Dr. H. A. Adrain. Intense inter
est is centered upon this program
and the night will prove one of
the most interesting of the series.
The people of Rutherford
ty appreciate the Redpath Chau
tauqua and a movement was
started Tuesday night to have it
return next season. The method
of the guarantee will be different
this year, in that cards are dis
tributed throughout the audience
and individuals are requested to
sign for the number of tickets
they may use. This is the better
plan and will work a hardship
upon no one. Every citizen should
realize the importance of having
the Chautauqua return, and those
who have not already done so,
should be prompt in signing the
pledge cards.
Thanks are due the public
spirited men who made the Chau
tauqua possible this year. It has
been announced that nearly
enough tickets have been sold to
save the guarantors from finan
cial loss, but it took some hard
work on the part of the workers
to accomplish this end. The Cour
ier urges every one to sign the
pledge cards promptly, and thus
assure the return of the Chau
tauqua. It would be a lasting
shame if the citizens did not
properly support the move and
lose the great benefits and pleas
ure of Redpath for next season.
Get busy, and let's put this thing
over—tonight.
