READINGS BY HELEN POTTER


Saturday evening the Owosso public
were very pleasantly entertained at
Opera Hall with readings by Miss
Helen Potter. She is certainly fine
elocutionist, and rendered the diff
cult parts of some exceeding hard
selections with wonderful effect her
impersonation Of "The Modern
School Grip has rarely been eXcelled,
and her John b. Cough, though not
SO good, and not representation of
the John B. Cough of to day, but Of
him some fifteen years ago, was both
entertaining and instructive, and for
the most part very perfect. As
Queen Katharine of Anagon, she
rendered the two scenes very finely,
but as perSonator Of Charlotte
Cushman, she is, as any living woman
must be, a decided failure. There
has never been on earth but one
Charlotte Cushinan, and probably
there will never be another that can
be either her personator or her equal.
