Chautauqua entertains Monticello with varied acts and speeches
The Monticello Chautauqua closed last Tuesday after five days of programs. The event featured Mutual Chautauqua Co talent from Chicago, Meistersingers Quartet, Dr. R. E. Alexander, and a choral pageant by local children. Lieutenant Wayland C. Brooks and Captain Olin M. Coward delivered notable talks on duty, war, and national preparedness, with music by the Chicago Symphonic Orchestra and the Sam Lewis Company. The gathering praised performances while noting substitutions due to illness and stormy weather, and the event was declared the best yet in Monticello despite soured finances.
