The following is comment on Her-
bert Leon Cope, who will appear at
the Grand next Tuesday evening: The
last of the course of entertainments
came off Monday evening Herbert l..
Cope. 1t was a one-man entertain
ment, but he proved to be a loaded
bomb. His entertainment was in the
form of a running lecture interspers-
ed with representations and character
sketches. mostly in the lighter vein,
with just enough of the somber and
tragic side of life to snow men and
women what they are. In the main,
he presented the gospel of mirth and
good humor, and he did it to the great
pleasure of all present.-Hinckley Re.
