A truncated notice for a 1921 Chautauqua program titled Then You Remember Me features the Milc tm Aburn Staitles of New York City presenting an operatic recital with full chorus and orchestra. Audiences in town are invited to renew ties with favorite songs and enjoy a magic tavern themed evening.
The Dunbar's White Hussars present an evening program at the Chautauqua featuring mostly college men under thirty in clean white uniforms. Indiana University Ohio State Ann Arbor and Columbia students join a skilled chorus of intelligent musicians who treat music as joy not task. Their ensemble pieces and solo numbers promise infectious enthusiasm and a lively show.
