POWERS is A HIT
Gives David Copperfield' Be
fore Large Audience at
Augustana.
ART IN REPRESENTATION
Twelve PerSonageS of Story Inter
preted. Without Accessories of
Support or Scenery.

The largest audience that has at
tended a lyceum attraction this year
was attracted TO The performance of
David Copperfeld" given by Leland
T. Powers at Augustana college last
night. The audience came full of ex-
pectations, since Mr.. Powers ability
as an impersonatOr is we'll known.
and il is safe to say that not single
person who heard the reading last
night came away disappointed.
The performance was a revelation
in demonstrating what can be done in
the art of representation. Twelve
characters were represented by Mr..
Powers. and so consistent and true
was his impersOnatiOn of each, that
an indelible mental picture of each
was left imprinted on the mind OF
each listener. Mr.. Powers. himself.
remained in the background; it was
the character of Dickens that moved
and spoke.
Quintesscncc of Art.
His impersonation of character.
without the accessories of scenery
and cast. is the quintessence of dra-
matte art. He admits his audience
other times and other environm
His work presents the best of the
drama in the purest form, free from
all EMBELLISHMENTS and false the
atre atmosphere. There is a sim.
plicity about his representations
which is as charming as ii is unus-
ual It is the result of his thorough
knowledge of human life. and his
ability to portray it as he finds it.
strong In Male Characterization.
OF all the characters portrayed
last night. Uriah Heep. Mr. MiCawber
and Fisherman Peggetty were I'M
doubtedly the best. Betsy TrotwOOd
and Mrs Micawber were also well
given. but it was evident that Mir.
Powers was much stronger in the
impersOnation of male characters. In
response to the generous applause
that met his efforts, Mr.. Powers gave
two poems at the conclusion of his
reading. The first was Richard Bur-
tons 'If / Had the Time" and the
other. Rudyard Kipling's Mother of
Mine" Both were enthusiastically
received
