William Sterling Battia who appears in his celebrated lecture "Life Por trayals" from the- Dickens' novels. Il lustrating 13 of the. 'most prominent character - in costume and will ap pear at the Chautauqua Saturday eve ning, July 8th. is talked of by the "Lyceumlte" in this tone: In his "Life Portrayals" Mr. Battis has something entirely new to the platform. It is so different, so de lightfully entertaining, and with such an undercurrent of literary and edu cational value, that if is sure to do much In th'e promotion of hla growing popularity. T . Only the deep students of Dickens do what Mr. Battis does in this enter tainment. , In make up and costume Mr. Battis portrays 13 of Dickens' most famous characters. He does not suggest the characters they are flieBh and blood creations they are as real and diver' sled as any 13 strong characterizations one might pick from the stage. The makeup of each character is complete, and the costumes are historically cor rect. Mr. Battis makes rapid ; and complete changes, even to the shoes and boots. He gives the entire enter tainment, and makes all the changes without leaving the platform. While1 making the changes he discourses on the next character, giving a brief out line of the story from which the char acter Is taken and explaining the ob ject Dickens had 'a view when he wrote tt. Be it known Dickens did not write a story merely for the sake of the story he had a reform in mind, and his writings jid a world of good. Mr. Battis keeps all this hi mind when presenting the characters, and por trays them, not as you or I might fan cy them, but as nearly as Dickens saw them as it la possible to do. " The entertainment contains plenty of humor, a little pathos and some strong dramatic climaxes. For each character Mr. Battis has arranged a sort of composite scene a weaving together of various words and sentenc es belonging to that particular charac terizationmaking every sketch com plete' in itself. There slips into one's mind a knowledge of the great au thor's work without one's knowing ic. That's the truest kind of lyceum enter tainment. Dr. Sadler's Health lectures. Another writer saya of the Saddlers, whom La Grand people know so well : The doctor's life work in study nr.d experience has been the preparation of his lectures. While the doctor is known from ocean to ocean because of his health lectures, nevertheless, he delights in giving his illustrated lectures on the slums, for the purpose of creating sentiment and sympthy in behalf of the submerged tenth. Both the doctor and his wife have been interested in the dwellers of the slums since their student days. Many of the doctor's beneficiaries can be found today In the 'counting room, in prominent business ' establishments and some hame eyeri attained eminence in his own profession. v. The doctor's slum lectures are in every sense refined. Scenes of pover ty and squalor are presented without the odor of vice and crime. The ma Jortty of the views shown by the doc tor in his slum lectures were taken by hi own hand or by his wife and co-Ta borer, during their dozen years of work in the slums. Dr. Sadler Is a regular practicing physician. Tn no sense, a fadlst or ex tremist He aims. to teach the people plain facts ana lmple truth and trusts their common sense to make their own rules of living. The doctor Is ut terly opposed both to the fadlst who will try to tell everyone else how to live, and to the hygienic nihilist, who teaches the people' to eat anything and everything and to do about as they please In all matters of health. The doctor Is a recognized medlca teacher in Chicago, and holds member ship In the leading American medical and Scientific associations, as well as In numerous International medical bodies.. 'rr""1TJ The doctor's health lectures are cer tainly unique They are positively un like anything heretofore offered. The doctor talks straight from the shoul der and straight to the common people. Even the- school, children enjoy his lectures, for they are , entirely free from all medical terms and scientific technicalities. Th doctor chooses to speak from the Chautauqua platform, because he believes It is his duty to spend a part of his time and energy in teaching th well man to keep well. He re gards it a mistake for his profession to spend all of their time on the Blck people, and this is why both he ar.d his wife leave their practice for a few weeks each year and address them selves to' the task of teaching well nigh a quarter of a million of peope the gospel of health and the secrets of happiness: Notice to La Grande Subscribers.
