CHAPIN'S LINCOLN.
This Unique Entertainment Arouslns Great
Deal OF Interest

This Unique Entertainment Arouslns Great
Deal Of Interest
Interest in Benjamin Chapin's dra-
matte portrayal, Abraham Lincoln, to
be given at the Baptist church Friday
evening is steadily growing ana the
sale of seats is large.
Mr.. Chapin's treatment OF the theme
is absolutely original and unique in
general scheme and in details His
first entrance upon the audience is not
from within the proscenium, bdt down
a side aisle. 1t lis to. make the fare
we'll speech with which Lincoln parted
from his old neighbors in Springfield,
ILL.,, on isjourney to take up the cares
of state in Washington. With tall
hat of the 1850 date and loose, III fit
ting, long black coat, the President
for it seems to be really he, so por-
trait-like is the makeup Of the face and
so like the Presidents stature is the
thin and angular figure of the speaker,
six feet, three inches in height-stands
with one foot resting on the steps lead
ing to the platform, turns TO one side
and delivers the speech, or a conden-
sation of it, that Lincoln in fact de-
livered from the steps OF his train at
the depot.
And so on throughout the evening
Mr.. Chaplin gives those scenes so dear
to the patriotic mind which venerates
Lincoln and treasures those things
which endeared him to the great heart
of the nation.
