Homer Davenport gave his lecture,
"The Power of a Cartoon" to a we'll |
filled house at the college auditorium
last evening. Davenport held the wrapt |
and interested attention of his audience |
for two hours, delivering his intensely
human address in an easy conversational |
style, without attempt at oratorical eff
feet. The address was embellished by |
the drawing of dozen cartoons of we'll
known public characters, etc, and car
ried a thread of humor throughout |
Davenport is a close student of human
and is endowed with the nat
ural ability to put the foibles and fall |
acies of persons and things on paper in
a most striking manner. This ability
has made him one of the foremost car
toonists of the day, and likewise has
made hIm plentiful supply of the root
of all evil.
Charles B. Hanford's appearance in
"The Merchant of Venice" at the Pull |
man auditorium on Thursday evening, |
April 28th, will give this wonderfully |
popular actor an opportunity to present
a character that is in distinct contrast to
the comedy roles in which he has recently |
been seen. Mr.. Hanford's experience as
a classic actor has wide range, but it is |
his custom to limit himself each season
to very few plays. Upon these he be-
slows the work and study of an entire |
summer, and during the regular season
he is thus enabled to present them with |
the exactitude and completeness of detail |
possible only through close and pro-
tracted attention. As the money lender
whose revengeful feroclty in demanding |
his pound OF flesh has passed into a
proverb, Mr.. Hanford presents the force
full and scholarly Characterization that is
to be expected from player of his ex-
traordinary attainments. Miss Marie |
Drofnah, whose charming impersona-
tions of other feminine roles in Shakes
peare is so we'll remembered, will find a
new and conspicuous field for her un-
doubted talents in the character of
Portia. Mr.. Hanford's supporting COM
pany is one that enables him to cast the |
numerous strong characters in the play
in an exceedingly happy manner. New |
and handsome scenery and costumes are |
nrovided foF this production
