A fair sized audience last night en
joyed a veritable artistic treat in the
lecture by Frederick Varde, the em
inent veteran actor and Shakespear
ean star on "Kifty Years of Make
Ilellove" In the Presbyterian church.
A large part of the lecture was de
voted to reminiscences of the great
American and English stage c bri
t!cs with whom he had Bhared the
plaudits of the public thru half a cen
tury, and Mr. Warde also gave bits of
acting from several Shakespearean
plays. He will be 70 years of age soon
and he and his wife will celebrate
their golden wedding anniversary
next June. Last night's was the clos
ing lecture of his present lyceuin tour
and he left on the late night train
for his winter homo at Los Angeles.
