“Your Mother's Apron Strings.”
Chaplain Lozier, one of the wittiest men alive satirist, vocalist:, orator, and poet—will deliver his popular monologue, ‘Your Mother’s Apron Strings, ’ at the M. E. Church next Saturday night. Admission 25 cents; children, 15 cents. . Scores of commendations might be quoted. Here are a few: From the President of Action Park Chautauqua Assembly, Indianapolis: * * * “This original, unique, satiric poem, sparkling with wit, varied with relishable humor and stirring pathos, was listened to with rapt attention by a very large audience, mostly of young people. The applause was frequent, and sometimes compelled the speaker to pause till it subsided. Since its delivery we have heard on every hand the most enthusiastic praise from the auditors.” J. W. Dashiell. “I heard 'Apron String's at the Epworth League Training Assembly, Luddington, Mich. It carried the audience by storm. It was wholesome, entertaining, unique, well delivered and gave unbounded satisfaction.”—Thos. Nicholson, Sec. Assembly and Professor in Cornell College. From the World’s Secretary College Dept., Y. M. C. A: “ ‘Your Mother's Apron String’s is a most vigorous and original putting of the gospel of the home. Its wit, satire, hard sense, and telling thrusts at conspicuous follies, added to its most ingenious rhythmical structure, insure for it as wide celebrity as the •Farm Ballads.’ Whether heard or read, it will turn back from ruin many a young man whose downward career began with breaking away from his ‘Mother’s Apron Strings.’”—L. D Wishard. Come early and secure a good seat.
