"Told in a Chinese Garden" - a photo on Flickriver

Program and scene from "Told in a Chinese Garden" on August 30, 1918. Incredibly, one of those "coolie hats" survives at flic.kr/p/zchWCV.
Madison was home to the country's earliest summer theater. First held outdoors and later in a barn, the play were popular fundraisers for charitable causes including post WW I relief, the Madison Historical Society and the preservation of the Lee Academy.
These artifacts were part of the display of historic articles, photos and items at the Madison Historical Society's "Summer Exhibition 2013 and 2014
The Business of Leisure: Madison Welcomes its Summer Colony." See www.madisoncthistorical.org for more on this organization. See additional exhibits at flic.kr/s/aHskcW91YE. (Photo Credit - Bob Gundersen www.flickr.com/photos/bobphoto51/albums)
