Humorist and Reader, Aided by Quartet, Score Heavily at Banquet.

for it pencil. Strange to one of the numerous olfi-

Te varie! program fftrel at th Knife ami Fork club han'juet at the Oliver list evening, including a.s it did Madame Harriet Iwthartie's dramatic Interpretations, John I. Wells' reading of dia!-ct poems of "Back

let's fin'inir. one of the hest ever piven at the Knife and Fork lub ban'juet, according to the unan'moua verdict of the three hundred or more mem hers of the organization in attendance at the ;ffalr. It Iva Mme. Iibadie's lirst appearance in j-:outh Ivenl in an offering something out of the ordinary lor a Knife and Fork club banquet, hut through her KTeat talent and rharmint; personality she dimply took the olul hy storm and was voted by all to be one of the most delichtful entertainers that has ever i.ited the city. John I). Wells read his verses In such an inimitable manner a-s, to add much to the effect of the versus themselves, which ompare favorably with the best of James Whitcomb Riley's. The quartet from the Notre iMine Olee

tluh made as many hits as it sani; hon"s. John D. Well" erses are of a tiiiicb higher order than those ordinarily found in the papers and inairazine of the day. Mr. Wells declared that he was "always friendly with a man until he rails me a ooet because there is a distinction between a poet and a versifier, the poet lives with his wife's relatives a od a versitier has a salary to share with them." Mr. Wells, who conducts a humorous column for the Buffalo News, declared that there wasn't any "aim in the barrel" of his verses except to arry his hearers back to "the days and people they knew before they a;Tie to South Rend." hut he pictured in such cleverly rounded stanzas the "Old Home where you can't j-and paper your T'k and where everybody says 'Howdy,' and the folks live so long that if a man dies before he is eighty they tie a white repe on his door knob and carve a lamb on his tomb," and he sketchd all the "village folks," "Ma," and "Fa." "the old fiddler." "the village ne'er-do-well," and even "the joung "un in pokeberry time," with suc h pathos or such humor that he left xivid uiH-n the minds of his audience a picture they will not soon Joruet. Mnw. lalvulie Strvs.

Mme. Uibadie gave lirst a reading ..f Wilfred Gibson's "The Holiday", a Iyondon sketch of "laves in Which There is no Sunlight." Her extraordinary talent and skill as a, reader hone most, however, in her reading of two of Harries .short plays, "The Twelve Round Look", and "Rosaland." In both these sketcht-3 she interpreted with such art the mannerism and the personalities of the characters as almost to make her audience believe they were witnessing the eractment of the very scenes depicted. Her voice modulation was nearly perfect, her gesticulation and expression pave a personality to the reaxling that brought out all the numorous and touching situations of the sketches and more than merited th a-bemdajit applause which she win.

tiii: inimi or a nation When Gen. Robert K. L.ee. at Appomattox, winhed to make wme marginal notes on the papers of thr final surrender. he a.ked the by-

Man de rs say, not

f ers and aides-de-camp wa.s able to offer him one. At last, an oificer of I-e's staff extracted a pocket ir.kMand and feather quill from his kit, and with the aid of these the historic document was written and the names of Grant and Lee affixed at the bottom. The above bit of history was du? up by David W. Griffith during his staging of "life's Surrender to Grant ;.t Appomattox", one of his striking historical fac-simlle scenes in Griff.th's motion picture, "The Rirth of a Nation", corning to the Oliver Friday for three days. Gen. Grant is correctly represented in his fatigue uniform, dusty and travel-stained, whilst Gen. Lee is shown in the complete panoply of military dross. "My aim." said Mr. GrilHth, in speaking of sch scenes recently, "has been to Introduce as little acting as possible. I have tried to be accurate in every detail and keep away from theatricalism."

iiowi: TIlAVrii IT1STIVAL. Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival which comes to the Oliver Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 23 and 30, is Inimitable not only because of the scenes themselves, but also because of the way they are presented. Mr. Howe links the sense of sound with the sense of sight so precisely and yet so naturally that the effect is hypnotic, In its compelling power. He knows how to imbue the mere lights and shadows of electric rays with a vitality that is akin to life itself. Hidden corners of the earth, life and customs in strange climes, art! the scenic spots of foreign lands are all produced in picture form that is perfection. It lifts the veil which distance has placed between us and foreign countries and enables us to realize how others dress, move, and have their being, it teaches without dryness and imparts a certain knowledge which no books or lecturer could. Mr. Howe's new program includes mediaeval and modern Spain, far-off Hawaii, the United States Military academy at West Point and diversified activities by the splendidly trained cadets, snowbound Norway, the amusing pranks of a tiny baby, odd dissolving portraits of famous men. various specimens of birds and fish in their natural colors, new animated cartoons, and many others.
