WILB ERFORCE COLLEGE,
Ohio-Niss Halle Q. Brown, OF
the faculty of Wherefore College,
lecturer, scholar and teacher of
international repute, has accepted
the invitation from Madame Mamie
Hightower to serve on the Recep-
tion Committee at Atlantic City in
honor of Miss Golden Brown of
America, and four other scintillat-
ing beauties from our race firma-
nent.
Reading like a fairy tale, Miss
Browns lie story is extremely
rich in romance and high achieve
ment. Born on little farm in
Chatham, Canada, Miss Brown has
rapidly risen in the esteem of the
peoples of two continents, and she
is today as firmly fixed in the af-
fections of the residents of Aber-
deem, Scotland, as she is in those
of Aberdeen, Mississippi-in York
shire, England, as in New York,
u. s. A.
She is both lecturer and inter-
pretative reader of the front rank.
Miss Brown has appeared on the
lyceum platforms of hundreds of
American and Continental cities,
always with a single result: cor
dial greeting and the unanimous
acclaim of the populace.
Included in the Halle @. Brown
repertoire are:
L.. ri R.~.~t~:~~
Queen Victoria's Golden Jubi-
lee"-My visit to Windsor Castle.
Robert Burns, the Scottish
Plowman"-Song, Lecture and Re-
cital.
"Paul Lawrence Dunbar''-His
humor and pathos in poetry and
prose.
Folklore and Folk-Song''-
Illustrated by quaint wit and wis.,
dom of cotton field and cabin.
"The Humor and Conflict Of the
Worlds Oppressed"
For Sunday-"Character Build
ing" and "The Call to Arms"
Besides these lectures, Miss
Brown has delivered hundreds of
talks before the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union and other
organizations, including the Y. M.
c. A., B. w. T., ETC., on various
weeks temperance missions. The
Aberdeen (Scotland) Journal, one
of the leading literary lights Of
Lauder-Land, recently said: "Miss
Brown displayed remarkable elo-
cutionary powers, and her gestures
were graceful and appropriate.
Her Negro Folk-Song was a quaint
and plaintive lullaby"
For some time Miss Halle @.
Brown has honorably filled the
chair of oratory and public speak
ing at Wilberforce College, Ohio.
