inc, Jan. "a, in the High School audit
orium, and consists of a lecture of
live local interest by Carlton Cham
berlayne, who so pleased a Chautau-
qua audience here a short time ago.
In this day and age people are i'm
patient to listen to professional lee
turers quote platitudes, but there new
er has been a time when they were
more willing to lend an attentive ear
to men who by their works and deeds
have proven that they are worth hear
ing.
Mr.. Chamberlayne was formerly ed
itor of the Schenectady IN. W Union
Star" He has won recognition in
many sections of the United States as
an eloquent speaker in political cam
paigns and one of the best lecturers
on the American platform. He puts
into his speaking the result of years
of wide reading and careful study, and
his powers of analysis give to his lee
lures a value that lifts them out of
the class of merely popular" ad-
dresses" Chamberlayne fearlessly
and intelligently interprets the signs
OF the times" He is one of the few
men who never fails to grip and hold
his audience.
