truly musical; an artistic player with
marvellous possibilities. The HUI

delineations of character and is an
impersonator of unusual ability.
DR.. Alexander who will give a
lecture in December, on ''Scotch

number of audiences in Wisconsin and
his lecture, which is illustrated, is
considered very fine example of what

inspiring.
Lorenzo Zwickey, a Swiss-Canadian
artist, will give the fourth number

Zwickey is an artist whose home and
studio is in Detroit, Michigan. He
leaves his studio for few weeks in
the winter and appears on a few
lecture courses in an attempt to
educate the people who may hear
him on some of the phases of art.
What he has to say is pointed and
practical. He carries full platfarm
studio, including lighting plant and
illustrates the characters and themes
which he discusses by sketches made
before the audience. Zwickey is not
only an artist, but a popular. enter
tainer. He undoubtedly mixes wit
and art in the best form it has yet
been presented to audiences of the
Northwest.

nounced it the highest type of en-
tertainment ever given there. Tick
cts were sold at a dollar apiece, and
Chaplin presented his drama before a
packed house. G. A. r. men who
were personally acquainted with
President Lincoln, have stated that
Chapin's impersonation of Honest
Abe" is wonderful. Chaplin comes to
