FIFTH NUMBER OF THE LECTURE COURSE.

The Assembly Daily Herald, Chautauqua, N, Y., says of Montaville Flowers, who will appear at the Library Auditorium next Monday evening: It is generally admitted that universal consent is a means of certitude. Assuming that to be true, it must be said that Montaville Flowers has received the approbation of two of the largest audiences seen in the auditorium. All of Mr. Flowers’ excellent analytical work is his own. In his character delineations he gives his audience a rich treat. The wide difference in the character of his performance shows him to be a most tersatile artist. However difficult or numerous his characters, he manages to do them justice, as the frequent and energetic applause of the audience made patent. Mr. Flowers is a young man who has worked hard and persistently to acquire the eminent position he now holds in the public estimation. Voice, ease and naturalness, qualities so necessary to the perfection* of a speaker, have been happily united in him. One thing in particular is worthy of note —he is not only an impersonator and reciter, but he is an orator.
