Miss Hurts Recital.

uatlon given by Miss vera Dell Hurt
in Murrell auditorium Saturday eve
ming was a fitting climax to several
years of faithful and intelligent work
in the department Of expression of
Central College The already en-
viable reputation of Miss Hurt as a
reader was more than sustained and
the burst Of applause, with which
the sympathetic and appreciative
audience greeted her as she ap-
peared on the stage, paid a we'll
deserved compliment to her ability
as an entertainer and showed the
high esteem in which her talents
are Held by the students Of Central
and people Of Lexington. And Miss
Hurt covered herself with glory in
this her most pr~etentious appearance
before a Lexington audience.
The program was composed of FIVE
numbers, ranging from the humorous
to the pathetic and from the simple
to the intensely dramatic. The en-
tire field of dramatic expression
was covered by these five numbers
and every phaze of Miss Hurts tai
emit as a reader was shown in her
presentation of them. She was at
all times in close touch with her
audience and during every number
held the breathless attention of all
those in the auditorium. Her
enunciation was distinct, her gest-
ures natural and her Interpretations
accurate.
a musical number by Miss Lucille
McCarty opened the recital. Wher
Miss Hurt advanced to the front OF
the stage she was given a flattering
reception She %graciously acknowl,
edged the compliment and, after the
applause had subsidized, began the
reading Of her first number, "HoW
} They Stopped the Run" by Anthony
Hope This selection is seemingly
, very simple, but in reality it requires
+ much ability in it's reading. III,
humorous vein was strongly brought
out and Miss Hurt presented the dia
logue, involving Italian dialect, per
fectly.
One of the most difficult numbers OF
! the program was the second, Tenny
, sons "The Lady of Shalott." rhi
poem, sad and full of pathos, cor
trasted markedly with the precedin.
: piece. So pleasing was Miss Hurt
reading of it that she received a de
handing encore.
The third number was the mos
/. difiult of the evening. 1t consiste
!. of two selections-Act I, Scene II an
Act III, Scene u--from 9Th
Merchant of Venice" 1t was ad
Q mirably suited to Miss Hurt in ever
l way and her extraordinary dra
n matte talent was evident in it's rem
dition. The grace and sweetness 0
Portia, the g~allantry and manlines
of Bassanio were wildly depicted.
Following this came a monologue
8 "Daisy's Music Practice Hours b
Pauline Phelps. 1t proved to be tn
], hit of the evening. 1t was extremel
r humorous and the droll way in whic.
f Miss Hurt read the lines elected mucI
f laughter.
The last number, Mrs, Phelps
Wards "Thamre," was extremel
heavy, but the reader fully come u
to every requirement and fttingl
closed a most pleasing program.
Both the pupil and her teacher
Miss Lowry, are indeed to be cor
graduated upon the complete sue
. cess OF the recital. Miss Hurt
highly endowed with voice, stag
presence and interpretative ability
Il and will long be known as one of tn
2 best readers that was ever graduate
from Central College.

The new theory advanced BY l. i
Cooper relative to the human Etom
Rch has attracted ouch widespread
attention that tho public in CITES
visited by the young man mas peeu
Joined by many physicians II ais
QUESTION OF his beliefs and medicines
Mr. Cooper says that human health
IA dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis
ease can be conquered without hrsl
alternating all stomach disorders. lie
further says that most men and WON
en- OF this generation are half-sick
owing TO degenerate stomachs And
lastly, he claims that his New DIS
covery medicine win rejuvenate Che
human stomach in 30 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another, conducting in
each what he calls campaign OF
education. For the past year he has
met the public in the larger cities
OF the country, and his success mas
been phenomenal. Thousands OF
people have fiocked to his headquar-
ters wherever he has gone, and the
sale Of his medicine has been beyond
anything Of the kind ever before
witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting feas
ture OF the attention this young man
has attracted Is what his army OF
followers. whom he has converted TO
his beliefs through HIS medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol-
lowing statements are from two well
known residents Of Chicago and Bos-
ton, respectively, and the enthusiasm
or these is characteristic Of Cooper's
admirers generally.
Mrs. III. B. Mack, Of 1901 State
