Battis, renowned educational en tertainer at the Octagon Tuesday evening. j He carried his own stage equip ment and made his character | changes before the audience. While thus engaged he told of the charac ters as created by Dickens. With each character he gave a monologue taken from the novel in which it appeared. Dickens Opens New World "When we begin to study the characters in Dickens' works, a new wqrld is opened up to us,” said Dr. Battis. “London was his library, and his characters are so much better than the books they are presented in that they don’t need the stories to perpe tuate them,” he declared. "Dickens never gave a strong character without giving a contrast, and he took great delight in hold ing up to ridicule human nature,” remarked Dr. Battis. Impersonates Dickons The first presentation was that of “Charles Dickens” himself. The sec ond was “Mr. Pecksniff,” a charac ter in “Martin Chuzzlewit.” This was followed by old “Captain Cut- tie” and “Mrs. MacStinger.” both found in the novel. Son.” The next presentation was the CONDUCTS OPERA George F. Granberry, director the Music Department, University of | Georgia Summer School, who will be conductor of the operas here.
