Miss Galley is not unknown in Pen

her pupil for two years, and has re-

performances worthy of her teacher

LECTURE BY PARKER.
A whole book might De written con-
corning Alton Packard. the wonderful
cartoonist, who appeared at the even
ing entertainment. Under the title of
ard caricatured every kind of people,
nation and language discoverable in
the United States, including even a
type Of Pensacola girl
With lightning rapidity he dashed off
sketch after sketch, all true to life.
Accompanying the strokes of the
crayon with rhythmic prose conveying
the story; the rhyme and the sketch
concluding together to the final dot.
To attempt TO describe such work
is out of the question. 1t must be
witnessed to be understood and appre-
ciated. Those who missed Packard
should take the first train after him !
and never be satisfied until his unique |
performance has been seen and heard.
Packard's talk is on a par with his !
sketching-clever and full Of meaning. |

deep thinker, the student Of human |

The message is there. wrapped in Jokes /
and fun; the preacher peeps out in /
little glfmpses. only little glimpses; |
like the surgeons lance concealed in I

great artist he is. Never for a moment |
did the interest of the audience flag,
and his every effort was rewarded with
loud applause.
Alton Packard certainly ranks as a
genius and his presence on the Chau-
Ia uoua program was a stroke Of good
fortune to the Chautauqua and to
those who witnessed his wonderful
performances.
