LONDON, March "A brilliant company
gathered tonight at a banquet at the in
~vitation of the Authors club to celebrate
the centenary OF the birth OF Edgar Allan
Poe. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle presided and
was supported by Ambassador Reid and
Mrs. Humphrey Ward, many leading Brit
ish authors and a large number of Ameri-
can residents Of London. Among the guests
was Cautain Poe, one OF the Oldest surviv-
ing members of the Poe family. The
speeches, which were delivered by Am
bassador Reid, Sir Conan Doyle, Captain
Poe, Charles Garvice. the novelist, and
Francis Henry Gribble, the critic, were
lnterspersed with Rotations Of Poe's
poems.
Sir Conan Doyle, after referring to the
tragedy of Poe's life, paid a glowing tribute
to Poe's works, saying: 1T is the irony
