Second place to radio and movies
CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 19
Although the Girls' Auxilliary
agreed to organize the Chau-
tauqua for the next year, they
needed help from several local
businessmen to sponsor the
event. The News Record said
the Chautauqua was "not a
paying proposition" and its
continuance was "entirely due
to the tireless efforts of the
Girls' Auxilliary" who felt the
Chautauqua's brought to town
"wholesome entertainments
otherwise unavailable!'
Yet, despite the unforgetta-
ble plays like Naughty Jimmy
Brown, Hawaiian music, Fili-
pine banjo players, a children's
hour, and Mr. Cope "the funni-
est man since Bill Nye, the
1923 Chautauqua earned only
$50.
Even though the News
Record panned the Chinese
music as "rather weird" to the
"average listemei;' the Chau-
tauqua returned the next year.
As the Girls' Auxilliary no
longer organized the event, a
new committee "ran a little
behind" on ticket sales. A mea-
sles epidemic in the area kept
families away, the 1924 Clinton
Chautauqua lost money.
The Clinton committee
brought the Chautauqua back in
1925 fora full program. The
Chautauquawas only a
"pleasing" event according to the
paper. A highlightwas a fiery ser-
mon delivered with "greatforce-
fulness" by Hon. Frank Church
dubbed "The BillySundayof
Canada" who spoke on "anum-
ber ofthings which Canada
might verywell mend.'
The 1926 Chautauqua was
the last performed in Clinton.
The advent of radio and movie
houses had already doomed
the wholesome entertainments
of the Chautauqua circuits
before the Depression put an
end to them in 1935. A cultural
phenomenon that is almost
forgotten now, the big tents of
the Chautauqua brought the
world to rural people.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK
RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 2OTH - �4TH, 2015
PLAN NUMBER 3-3-361
ATTRACTIVE THREE BEDROOM SPLIT LEVEL
The plans for this attractive three-bedroom
split-level family home include an unfinished
basement with space for two extra
bedrooms and a private bathroom. This area
could make an in-law suite or mortgage
helper, or provide room for a growing family.
The entry is up five steps and through a
covered porch into a roomy foyer, with a
coat closet to the right. Also to the right is a
den, which can double as a third bedroom,
and boasts an extra -deep window sill.
Directly ahead is another flight of stairs that
lead up to the open-plan living room, dining
area and kitchen.
The living room includes a gas fireplace
and flows into the dining area, which enjoys
access through French doors to a covered
patio.
The kitchen, separated from the living
and dining areas by an octagonal work
island, features a roomy corner pantry. The
L-shaped counter configuration will save
steps for the cook.
The generous master suite overlooks
the front garden from a window with an
extra -deep sill. The en -suite includes a
double basin that will ease the morning
rush-hour, as well as a walk-in closet
spacious enough to accommodate even the
most fashion -conscious couple's clothing
and accessories.
A linen closet is tucked in near the entrance
to the second bedroom, which looks out to
the back garden. Across the corridor from a
three-piece bathroom is the laundry room.
Ceilings are nine feet high through out of the
main floor.
A double garage occupies much of the
basement level, together with a crawlspace.
On the exterior, finishes include horizontal
siding with wooden shakes accenting the
bayed -out areas at the front, as well as the
gables. The front door is flanked by painted
pilasters that support the porch.
This home measures 40 feet wide by 54
feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,485
square feet.
