A Delightful Evening at the 2. M. G.
a. Gymnasium.
Frank Beard, the inimitable cartoonist
delighted an audience for nearly two hours
in the Young Mems Christian Association
Gymnasium hall last night. The enter
tainment was what Mr.. Beard calls a chalk
talk. 1t is series Of crayon pictures drawn
and developed before the audiencs, with a
running talk by the lecturer.
The talk and the pictures go together.
One without the other would not interest
an audience as both do. Mr.. Beard is an off
hand talker, as he is seemingly an off-hand
artist, but there is a method in his Jokes, as
there is il the quick movement Of his hand.
which, with stroke and a dash, brings into
life the deli cations of his fancy.
Mr.. Beard follows no particular line OF
thought in his lectures. He draws as be
talks and talks as te draws, and both are
entertaining. About twenty pictures were
shown, aud kept everybody In laugh.
The Young Mems Christian Association
is fortunate in opening its entertainmsl IT
series with SO popular an artist and lecturer
as Frank Beard.
