Willmar Chautauqua Closes With Florentine Band Concert
The 1916 Willmar Chautauqua ended Saturday evening with a splendid concert by Signor Victor's Florentine Band of twenty six. The program featured standard overtures and marches and a medley of Southern plantation melodies. Lectures and solo performances by Bowman, Anderson Operatic and Concert Co, and speakers like Paul S. Dietrick highlighted the week. Gate receipts totalled 2004.05, down 201.20 from last year, due to weather and competing events, yet the movement remains a county asset with strong community support.
