Pitt Parker Noted Boeton Car
toOnist, to Appear Here

Pitt Parker, the roted Boston Cartoo :
list, crayon wizard. clay modeler and phi
losopher, who is to appear in Johnson on
the evening OF Wednesday, Jan. 5th the
Opeia House, is not only one of the most
unique figures of the platform, but is aso
one of the best cartoonists of the day.
He gives great !ecture-in itsef-and
for good measurehe throws in some ceve,
cartoon work. His cartoons are not sim
ply funny pictures. they are everything
"a cartoon should be, an up-to-the minute
sketch portraying some phase OF current
Ii or opinion. And then comes Parker's
clay modelling, diversion from the usual
cartoon program and a feature which is
always thoroughly enjoyed. Critics have
said that Parker excels il his coloreds land
scape work. He has been spok of as
the 'picturizing philosopher and some of
his quaint epigrams have been widely
quoted. There is purpose in his work
it is muca more than an entertainment
and each of his programs are closely CORE
lated to some philosophical theme pertain
ing to the present or future,
Parker says he loves his work He
shoulder the public certainly likes him.
His coming lect ure and chalk-t talk here is
already arousing much interest in local
circles.
