Opie Read appeared yesterday af-
ternoon in one of the most unique
lectures ever delivered from any plat
form. In his Lem Jueklin lecture he
took that lovable and philosophical
character right out of the book, (The
Jucklins) and introduced him to the
audience in character; that Of an
old fashioned, strong, Southern, An
glo-Saxon type the type that made
English humor so delicious with the
characters of Addison, Fielding and
Goldsmith. A character which the
.4ondon Times said was a genuine
out-cropping OF America from its
original source which burst fountain
Ike on the hill tops of the Eliza
bethan era.
1t has come on down from that
high elevation. flowing through the
works of Dickens, Thackery, Wash
ington Irving, and spouting in 'Geor-
gia Scenes. Loyingood offered that
pure water and Bill Arp furnished
many a delicious draft The humor
of "Old Lem Jucklin9 is broad as hui
man nature itself and as kindly as a
generous harvest. He has so inter
woven humor and philosophy, wis
5 IN and morals as to make OF them
delicious whole.
His lecture was listened to with
the greatest attention and enjoyment
by one Of the largest audiences of
the season. Not a word of his lee
ture was lost and there was ripple
Of laughter and merriment through
out the entirA hour of his speaking.
His admirably portrayed character,
old Lem Jucklin, made his philoso-
epigrams, told his old tales of
Venture in the city while there on
Mp Of discovery and, altogether,
