Atlanta’s Week of 1 casting
All of our large southern cities should catch
community inspiration from Atlanta’s chautauqua
example. Large cities are apt to become busy and
so commercialized that they think they haven’t
time for a chautauqua week, which means a week
of intellectual feasting. Through the commendable
enterprise of Mr. S. Russell Bridges, president of
the Alkahest Lyceum Bureau 11 The Greater At
lanta Chautauqua” has been launched and the
opening address will be made at The Grand next
Sunday afternoon by that brilliant preacher, schol
ar and educator, Dr. Edwin M. Poteat, president of
Furman University.
Dr. H. M. Wharton, the famous evangelist,
author and traveler, will be platform manager, and
it will be worth the price of the course just to hear
that “master of assemblies” introduce the speak
ers and link the stirring numbers of the richly
varied program with his unapproachable charm of
wit and word and manner.
Because of the inspiring example thus set for
other cities, and the interest it will hold for al!
who love, live and grow on the high tableland of
thought and fancy and music and art, we are giving
the program in full, with the faces of the gifted
artists of speech and song who will enrich Atlanta
and vicinity every day, from the 26th of April to
the 2nd of May.
