1t is no impeachment of the truth
to say that the fourth number of the
Edgerton Lecture Course given on Sat-
urday evening last proved a frost. It
was literally so. The temperature of
the hall was little above that of an ice
house and the management of Royal
hall can scarcely escape just criticism on
that score. Then the attraction, Benz
c. Chaplin, dramatic impersonator, so
far as being popular with the audience
was another chilly frost. He labored
under the mistaken impression that
country audience would be interested in
a recital of play seen only by the larger
city audiences. He devoted the entire
evening to a reproduction of a selection
from Cyrano De Bargerac, and when he
finished there were scarcely half the au-
dience in the house he commenced with,
though the temperature of the hall
might have drawn away most of them
Mr.. Chaplin comes well recommended
and possibly in other lines might have
maintained his reputation, but he failed
here completely.
