 In 2006, the only remaining motion pictures at the Colorado Chautauqua are the silent film series that started in 1986.As early as the Chautauqua Auditorium's first season in 1898, the acoustics of the all-wood building were being compared favorably to other venues such as the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.Over the years, a variety of performers found the acoustics to their liking.
