MARGARET STAHL The third enter
tainment in the series of the course held
of committee of public spirited citizens
will be given Tuesday evening, Feb 18th,
by Margaret Stahl, one of the country
best interpreters Of plays. One of her
many admirers says of her art: "Mar-
garet Stahl comes before us in the role of
Interpreter of Plays. The very general
opinion of critics is that, in this sphere,
she has attained pre-eminent place
among women, even as Leland T. Pow
ers has, for many years, ranked the first
among men. OF all the women on tie
Lyceum platform today, there is probably
no one more regarded as a model for
other readers than Margaret Stahl, for
she has done more by her example and
influence than any other to bring the art
of portrayalist out of the region of decla-
nation and bombast and into the sphere
of reality. Simple, unaffected and nat
ural, her art is completely sincere, close
to life and character, utterly free from
the chrome qualities that make the de-
claimer odious to the intelligent listener. -
