WILL BEGIN THE COURSE
Picture Play Of Edward o. Towne
Promises to be interesting

Edward Owings Towne will present
his original picture play, Too Rich 10
Marry" ON Saturday night as the first
CT a series of entertainments to be
given under the auspices OF the Young
Mems Christian Association during the
winter. In speaking of Mr.. Towne. an
exchange says: Edward Owings
Towne. the dramatic author is a very
remarkable impersonator and actor. as
well as a writer. He does net give
dry lecture on his play, but imDerson-
ates every one of the ten characters
in his comedy, and his changes of
voice and infection are so remarkable
that it seems impossible for the audi
ence 70 realize that there are not ten
persons instead of one speaking. This
is the most difficult art OF the actor
To impersonate one character well is
difficult enough but to depict the char
acters Of an entire comedy. women and
ALL requires the genius Of Garrick.
To have united in one person the gifts
of a great writer and a great actor, Is
rare. indeed, but in Edward Owings
Towne these accomplishments seem TO
supplement each other in a remarkable
manner"
