Joy Masaey The next number of our Peoples Lyceum Course is sched uled for next Monday night. Miss Joy Massey a graduate of the Northwestern Uuiversity School of Oratory is to give an evening: of readings and impersonations. Elocution is a fine art that is only beginning: to be appreciated by busy Americans. However it is winntng its way very rapidly. Our schools of oratory are now crowded with young people who who are devoting their lives to a mastery of literature in order that they may in turn interpret it to those who cannot avail them selves of the opportunity of study. A good reader brings, at once, enjoyment and instruction' The master leads one through the entire range of emotion as he touches alternately on the sublime and ridiculous, the pa thetic and the laughable yet in it all there is presented the best thot and the highest ideals of writers past and present. Miss Massey comes recom mended as a master of her art. Prof. E. B. Walker, Supt. of Schools, Puyallup, Wash, in writ ing concerning her work says; Joy L. Massey is a reader of extraordinary ability. She is one of the best entertainers in her line of work to whom I have ever listened. No sermon by the most elo quent divine appeals to the hearer with so much force and delight as her recitale of "The Lost word," "The Sf John's Fund" and "The Going of the White Swan." 'The Abandoned Elopment" and "Expelling the Pikes" are selections sparkling with wit and humor, and Miss Massey's rendering of them will keep an audieuce in continuous laughter. Mis3 Massey's imper sonations are remarkably good. "If I were King" and "The LaneThat Had No Turning" are readings in which Miss Massey proves herself possessed with an unusual degree of dramatic povv-er. As an accomplished and grace ful reader Miss Massey has few equals. Season tickets on sale at Von A. Gray's. Single admission at the door 50 cents. The contest for the Doll is still on at White & White's. Genivieve' Combs was in the lead Saturday with Irma Gill of Deer Island, a close second.
