his ability as a musician. His greatest "hit," perhaps, has been made in his Hoosier and His Fiddle" This charm ing sketch has really made him famous, and is conceded, by competent critics, to be one of the most artistic and de- lightful portrayals ever given to the American stage or platform. In short, MT Richards has provided just what the intellectual public have sought in vain, an evening of pure, artistic fun, devoid of coarseness, offensive carica- ture, cheap slang and buffoonery. AL though joy and laughter rule the hour, not word is uttered to offend the most refined tastes, and the clergy are among his warmeSt admirers.

Warren c. Richards, who so delight ed an audience in the Mems club course, last winter, appears at the Town hall the evening of February 10.
 MT Richards is an artist, and 20 seasons before icritical audiences have made him master of his art, and a most fascinating art it is. His forte is the portrayal of character, both from everyday life and from the pages of our popular authors, in which his ver- satility has not been surpassed.
 Through his genius of delineation and magnetism, the products of their pen become realities; the characters of the printed page stand before you, they think, talk, act-live. MT Richards stands in a class by himself; there is
 nothing more unique, and "the smart ness" of his art has been recognized by people who have seen and heard the best the American and foreign stage and platform have had to offer. In MT Richards work there is no striving for dramatic effect, no elocutionary mannerisms. Naturalness is it's great est charm, appealing particularly to the cultured and intelligent. Gifted with marvellous powers of facial and vocal expression, and a never-to-b be. forgotten lock of hair, he changes, without makeup, from one character to another with such ease that his hearers areaheld in constant wonder and delight at the life-like transfor. nations, so true to nature. Mr-Rtch. ards has made particular study of back-cOuntry types, so popular with amusement lovers nowadays, and is inimitable in the portrayal of the quaint rural characters to be found in the poems and stories of James Whit. comb Riley, Eugene Field, Sam Walter Floss, and other writers of their par ticular school. A touch of tender pathos here and there only serves to make the humorous even more enjoy- able. A delightful feature is added to MT Richards entertainment, owing to
