Canadian Chautauqua
During the past twelve years the Can-
adian Chautauqua, a strictly Can tdian
organization, has been pre.enting Chau-
tauqua programs over Western Ontaria
and the four Western provin es of Canada
Practically every large city has its annual
gathering. In fact some of the largest
cities hold Chautauqua assemblies in two
or three different sections of the city, so
that all patrons may be accommodated,
Over 35 000 men and women in the Can-
adian West underwrite a portion of the
cost of presenting these Chautauqua pro-
grams. Their object in participating in
this Canadian movement is to bring lec-
turers of international reputation, noted
musical artists. dramas and other enter-
tainments to their communities, to give
people the opportunity of enjoying these
programa at a nominal cost, In the ma-
jority of cases the season ticket is sold at
$2.00 and admits the holder to all the ere
tertainments presented.
This year the Canadian Chautauquas
has extended its septic into Eastern Ontar-
io. Some sixty-four Chautauqua centres
were established for the summer circuit,
including practically every large city and
many of the larger towns in the province.
So enthuiastic was the reception given the
Chatauqua program in the East that a
Chautauqua Festival circuit was then or-
ganized for the winter and spring, Over
ninety Ontario towns have co-operated to
form this Festival circuit.
Leading citizens who are participating
in the Chautauqua movement were grati-
fied at the great success of the Ontario
venture, and are eager to see the work ex-
tended to cover the entire Dominion.
Tiley see in it a splendid opportunity to
foster the spirit of Canadianism, a chance
for the East to hear the message of the
West, and vice versa. The artiste who
appear in the programs come from various
parts of the world, but the managerial end
of the organization is controlled entirely
by Canadians.
"The splendid manner in which Chaut-
auqua is being received by the people of
Oshawa this year is proof that this insti-
t e ion is making a definite appeal to the
minds of a large body of citizenship. Per-
haps the fact that the Chautauqua is, for
the first time. this year a Canadian con-
cern has helped to attract to it the great
crowds which have been thronging into
the big tent. There is something appeal-
ing in the fact that it is now a national
institution, instead of one operated from
another country, and this may have giv-
en
iv.en the people of Oshawa a new vision of
its value as an educational factor in the
community, In making it possibie for
the people of Oshawa to enjoy programs
which are now entirely denied them in the
theatres, the officers of Chautauqua and
the local organization which brought it
here are doing a splendid service for the
community. More than that, the Canad-
ian Chautauqua is renderinga distinct na-
tional service in bringing to `the smaller
centres of Canada a type of entertainment
and educational lecture such as help to
build up some measure of culture in com-
munities which would otherwise be in a
state of cultural and moral starvation."—
Oshawa Times. Canadian Chautauqua
will appear in Memorial Hall, Blyth, on Hotel Landon.
