INTERPRETS GREAT DRAMA
Senator MuIkey's Lecture on "Eiam-
Iet'' Wins High Praise from
Press and Public.

The following fiattering criticism
of Professor B. F. Mulkey's lecture on
Hamlet is taken from q recent copy
Of the Salem Statesman:
zone Of the most delightful feasts
of dramatic and literary enjoyment
ever furnished to a Salem audience
was given at the assembly room OF
the high school last evening when
Hon. B. f. Mulkey, president Of the
Southern Oregon Normal School, read
Shakespeare masterpiece Of dramatic
word painting, the tragedy Of Hamlet,
before house crowded with school
teachers and other lovers of the clas-
sizes, of whom a goodly number are to
be found here.
"In giving all the striking parts Of
that great composition verbatim and
conveying the entire story in all its
details, Mr. Mulkey held his auditors
spell bound for nearly two hours and
many were there who f1guratively
stood with him upon the scenes in
Denmark where the dark deeds o.
blood and treachery were laid. Mr.
Mulkey has every line of the play
committed to memory and is so imbuec
with the spirit OF it that he has nc
trouble in carrying his hearers from
scene TO scene with eloquent explana
tions in his own language, so tina
there is no apparent break in thu
recital.
Senator Mulkey has long ago es
tablished a reputation for polished
and pleasing oratory, but that vii
certainly be eclipsed should he decid
to take to the boards as a Shakes
pearean interpreter. He is spendidl.
equipped for complete success. 4
good memory, an excellent voice
thorough adoption, ready and grace
full action, and with all keen sens
of wit and humor which enables hin
to fill in every moment that nigh
otherwise be dull. The crowd las
evening was delighted and the ar
plause at the close lasted severa
minutes.
Senator Mulkey's many friends !
Polk county will be delighted to lear
that he has consented to deliver hi
great lecture on "Hamlet" in Dalla
early in December in connection wit
the county teachers institute.

Oregon Girl In Japan.

Miss Marguerite Longacre, former
Dallas girl, writes the Silverton Ap-
peal from Yokohama that her concert

and her entertainments have all been
well patronized. She 10 delighted with
life in the Orient and will continue
her tour to China and other Asiatic
countries. Miss Longacre gave q
series OF successful concerts in Alaska
