Show 14 THE ACORN: noon and evening of the fourteenth Mr. Cook is a poet of the James Whitcomb Riley type, and will give the people expression and gestures to some of his own poems. Another attraction will be the reading of Mr. F. Hopkinson Smith, whose style shows the clearest and keenest intelligence and good taste. "His reading is characterized by a restless energy and an abundance of gesture, which are very captivating." He has the power to change quickly from the humorous to the pathetic, and is a strong impersonator of character. In his way of putting things and interperting his own books he has a certain magnetism that holds his audience spell-bound. He also will appear in his own writings. Then again, we have engaged Mr. Albert Armstrong who will give three dramatic readings, "The Bonnie Brier Bush," "The Little Minister," and "The Sky Pilot." Accompanying these recitals will be a list of stereopticon views showing the important scenes in the respective dramas. Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Armstrong will be with us in February. For those who are interested in Electrical Engineering the wonders of raduim or wireless telegraphy, to miss the lecture to be given in March by W. J. Clarke, would be almost an "unpardonable sin." Mr. W. J. Clarke is the noted electrician of New York, who will give all a very pleasant and beneficial evening. Besides these, we will be favored by our old friends Miss Maud May Babcock, and Hon. B. H. Roberts, whose praises are sung throughout these mountains and valleys. Students and friends, think what we are getting all these literary feasts for the paltry sum. of two dollars. What more could we ask? Let us all rally round the THE ACORN. 15 members of our "lecture committee" and aid them in this great work. All that they ask is that we dispose of enough tickets to cover the expenses; they are not trying to make money, but to give us, the students and citizen of Ogden, a chance to advance in this line of art. The committee has now done its part; it remains with us to decide whether the lecture courses will be the success it should be. Let us win the affirmative in this question, and start now to make it the most successful course ever given tn Utah. LOCALS. PROGRAM FOR FACULTY MEETING. Chorus "With One United Voice." By All.
