"| Bell she is irresistible. Miss Young y Comus Players “Carson of the North Woods” The insistent demand for- the legitimate drama to hold a. con- spicuous place in Chautauqua has nowhere been more satisfactorily answered. than in the - Comus Player's production of “Carson of the North Woods.” This. play is a thrilling and inspiring story of the life in that quaint country around Quebec. -The-action. of the play is so swift, the dramatic situations so strongly ‘taut with “ifiterest, the comedy so replete with the “most excruciating drollery, that one seems literally whirled through a great adventure. “Carson of the North. Woods” is a drama of sterling quality and strong tinea spo and'in the hands of the Co’ Players takes its rightful place with the classics. of : ‘the stage and platform. Miss Jariet Young, the charming little heroine of the play, is one of ‘the most delightfully maive and _ soulful bodies who ever ‘warmed the hearts of the public. As Marie La was formerly of the Baker Stock :Company of Portland, where she |was a general favorite. Moron Olsen, who enjoyed great - ‘popularity with the almost, ultra ‘critical public of Boston, is the cen- jtral character in “Carson of the North Woods.”.

Without touch of creed or denomination the Chautauqua is con- sistently a true expression of practical Christianity. in the sense that it embraces all creeds and faiths; Protestant. only in that it protests against all evil. The Chautauqua platform is partisan forum for discussion of great. questions by the moving brains of the: world.

At. our first’ meeting we decided : that since -we “started something” we were going to finish it. : ‘ We started our campaign early by organizing and electing our officers, consisting of' a President and Secretary - Treasurer. The President appoirited three commit- tees: General Arrangements, Fin- ance and Advertising. The duty of the General) Ar- rangements. Committee. was to se- cure grounds, provide for seating, piano, pipe ‘water to grounds, erect the tent; in fact. to perform all labors not assigned to other ‘com- mittees. We were fortunate ‘in securing a good man as chairman of this committee, and every detail was arranged before the big tent was thrown open for the first per- formance. I£ this committee had not been rustlers: we would not have been ready, as the tent did not arrive until 6.20 the evening before opening day.. An.amusing incident’ happened at..the time they were ready to raise the. tent that illus- trates how’ this committee. had the people interested. When the tent was ready for raising there were not enough men present, and as it was 3 am, it was a problem ‘to secure them. A farmer said he woitld soon get the men, and great- ly to the surprise of those present they. soon heard the fire bell ring- ing. .

Each member réported the names of the purchasers and these were checked against a mailing fist and prospects furnished to those that had not. sold out: The members did not stop at selling ten tickets, and another. forty, . while’ others sold fifteen and twenty. Our guar- aritee was covered a week before the opéning day. Our advertising. committee..con- sisted of live wires, and the success of the 1916 Chautauqua was large- ly due to their efforts. Before the tickets were placed on_ sale all neighboring towns ‘as «well as Al- mira were well advertised with the matter furnished by the System, as reading matter furnished. : Every auto that appeared on the streets of Almira, no matter where the owner lived, ‘had a placard about 9-by 14 inches glued on the wind-shield, on which was printed in red ink, “Almira Chautauqua, June 19th.to 25th.” Many. people did not know the meaning of these “mystic” words, but questions_were asked, and when people ask ques- tions it is easy to show them a pro- gram and get a ticket seller busy. T saw autos. on Riverside Ave., Spokane (100 miles away), with these placards on them, whicn shows. that they were allowed to stay. Another “stunt” used by the committee was to have small-cards printed: the ‘same-as the- placards and haye. them given out at the gate. at every. ball game played. by the. local team, ‘both at home and when away from home. ~ We started out to make the open= ance was concerned, knowing if Ellison-White. . made: .good _ their soon had men enough.
