Josephine II. Dominick, interpreter
of dialect, was born in Minnesota. At

for dramatic work. One year of study
with Edward Amherst OFT of lyceum
fame, coupled with a course of study
at the Columbia School of Oratory and

cupies today, as one of the foremost
interpreters of dialect.
For the past twelve years Chas. S..
Medbury has been pastor Of the Uni
versity Church of Christ, Des Moines,
Iowa, the largest Protestant Church in
the Central West, having a member
| ship at present of 300. His new lee
ture, Forty Million Young Folks" has
grown out Of this mans living touch
with boys and girls and young people
throughout all the years Of his own
unusual experience. He knows the life
of the lad of the street, and Of the boy
of the Office, and Of the young man in
commercial pursuits, because OF his
own early experiences. The new lee
ture deals with the vast army Of young
people in America under twenty-one
years of age. 1t raises pointed ques-
tons as to who these young people are,
where they came from, what they are
doing and where they are going.
Rosani, a juggler, manipulation and
man OF many wonders, supplies a uni
que and pleasing novelty entertain
ment. Rosani must not be confused
with the magicians. The magician
mystiies by appearing to do what he
really does not do. On the contrary,
Rosani really performs all the feats he
essays, and puts on them the final
touches of a real master. Among the
accomplishments of this versatile gen
Jus might be mentioned his balancing
acts with whips, plates, balls, pipes,
sticks, bowls, bottles, glasses, hats,
swords, tops, and many other peculiar
l~y-shaped articles of all weights and
sizes. This work is clever almost be-
yond belief.
Robert O. Bowman, the character
portrayalist. has come to be recognized
as n of the foremost opponents OF
the art in the lyceum. His delinea-
tons of the various types Of "our i'm
ported Americans" and the quaint and
curious characters from life and literd-
ture, are unique, entertaining and in
structive. He understands the artistic
use of grease paint. wigs and costumes
and each character looks the part. But
it is Bowman himself who puts the life
and soul into the character he creates.
A whole company of clever entertain
ers seem to be hidden away within the
depths of his dressing table and come
and go at his call.

more than one hundred will have a
Church Day" this season. There is
to be a big parade Of church and Sun
day school people who will march to
the tent to hear Mr.. Dietrick's lecture.
AS a speaker, Mr.. Dietrich has a de-
lightful way of presenting his appro-
pirate subject. He catches every man,
woman and child the moment he
starts and holds them in his magic
grip throughout the lecture. He uses
