ANTHONY HOPES READINGS.-An-
thony Hope as a reader of his own stories
Will be heard In Washington next Monday
afternoon at the Columbia Theater and
also IN the evening of the Gav a he
universalist Church. The author of the
prisoner of Zenda'' and THE Dolly Dia-
logues' is fascinating reader. He makes
no attempt to do anything beyond reading.
He does not act; he seldom, if ever, ges-
tlculates. Often he only unclasps his hands
from behind his back for the purpose of
turning page, yet the animated play of
the countenance and the subtle infections
OF the voice make the reading more effect
I've than dramatic recitation could posi-
bly, be. Reading easily and without apDar-
ent effort, Mr.. Hope makes himself
heard in every part of an auditorium.
The voice is clear and resonant and the
reader, who has slight English accent
unmarried by the English drawI is exceed
ingly pleasing to listen to.
