FAMOUS READER COMING
Mrs. Bess Gearhart Morrison Will
Entertain Dallas Audience.

Mrs. Bess Gearheart Morrison is
already known on the lyceum. Per-
haps no impersonator in the country
has had more calls for return dates
than she. When but girl Mrs. Nor
rison showed considerable talent as
a reader and impersonator. Many
years of subsequent training, both as
a teacher and reciter and interpre-
tative readings has given her an en-
viable place upon the lyceum plat
form. Her work is strong, versatile and
accurate. Each year adds to her rep
utation and more firmly establishes
her name among lyceum patrons.
From Press reports of Chautauqua:
The management again (for the
fourth time) secured Mrs. Morrison
and could not have done better with
all the talent of the country at their
disposal. She never fails to please
Beatrice. Nebraska.
Guthrie, Oklahoma, Oklahoma
State Capital: With Mrs. Bess Gear
heart Morrison the audience was en-
raptured. She is an elocutionist of
rare ability, very pleasing in manner,
and devoid of all ostentation. Guth-
rie has yet to see an audience more
pleased with a speaker. She was re-
peatedly recalled until her program
was more than doubled and still they
more.
L. 0. Jones, Pres, Nebr. Epworth
Lincoln, Nebr.: Bess Gear
heart Morrison has always been a
favorite with our audiences. She has
a voice of great compass, with clear
and musical tones, and her enuncia-
ton is so distinct that she is easily
heard. Her soul is in her work, and
she has the ability to please the most
critical audiences.
Ex-Governor st. John, of Kansas:
The immense audience showed it's ap-
probation of her wonderful ability.
Kingfisher Daily, Kingfisher, Okla:
large and appreciative audience
greeted Mrs. Bess Gearheart Morrison
It the opera house last night. Pos
essing a charming personality and
most attractive stage presence, she
won the audience at her
