BIG EVENT CHAUTAUQUA WEEK.
Concerning the Ben Greet Players, who are to appear here Chautauqua week, the Journal, Augusta, Me., recently said: "Seventeen hundred people were present at the city hall Monday night at the opening of the Augusta entertainment course and for more than two hours were in ecstasies of delight and laughter over the splendid production by the Ben Greet Players. The company was the genuine Ben Greet Players, and people were present in the audience who had paid $2 and $3 elsewhere to see the same production. The company contains seven of the original players who came with Mr. Greet from England twelve years ago, while the remaining six have been with him for several years in his greatest successes. The management of the Augusta Entertainment Course is certainly to be congratulated upon giving the Augusta public such a splendid entertainment. The acting could not have been bettered."
