Frederick Warde.
We feel that an introduction, or
'an attempted eulogy
of this—
America’s foremost orator-actor, is
a waste of space and time. We
know that no man, woman, or
child who lias heard of the stage
is not familiar with this man, who is
as closely identified with Shakes
peare as Joe Jefferson was with
Hip Van Winkle.
His lecture is the result of a life
time given to the study of the
over interesting, forever great peer
of all English writers. Frederick
Warde was secured at great cost
and was considered too expensive
for all Fhautauquas in the South
save Newnan and one city in Tex
as from where he comes to us. but
our directors have not hesitated to
take the best to lie had. Believing
our people would support this
noble undertaking they have work
ed untiringly and ever prompted
by tiie motto, “not better than
the l>est, but better than the
rest. ’'
And in this connection we would
state that no words of praise are
misplaced commending the work
of Mr. B. T. Thompson and his
corps of young men assistant-; for
their untiring, uncompensated ser

vices in behalf of our great ('lean
tauqua.
The tributes and editorial com
ments from the best play houses
and leading dailies are in numerable
and of the highest order and dem
onstrate the popularity of the lec
ture and the esteem in which Mr.
Warde is held as an actor, scholar
and orator.
Champ Clark.
Dear to us because of his friend
ly [relationship to his colleague,
our own ! |Chas. Adamson, who in
troduces him Tuesday morning,
25th, when he delivers his famous
lecture, “Picturesque Public Men”
and on Wednesday night when we
hear him in “The United States of
America in the Twentieth Dentil
ry.” Clark is not only leader of
the minority party of the present
House, but he is the foremost dem
ocrat and the man most feared and
respected by the Republicans.
Clark was permanent chairman at
the last national convention at St.
bonis, the convention that nomi
nated Parker for President. Ad
amson said he had rather hear him
than any man speaking the Kng-
lish language. Missouri has every
reason to be proud of his oratorical
achievements. During his services
in Congress he has attracted more
attention to his state and knocked
out bigger niches in the temple of
fame as an orator than anv man
many which set the entire nation
talking; he has delivered speeches
in Congress which were published
in the papers of foreign lands; hr
has pronounced orations which are
classed |l>y competent authorities
as among the world’s best.
Mr. Clark’s Tammany speech
attracted more attention than did
Webster’s famous speech on “The
banding of the Pilgrims”, Dec. 22,
IS20,and gave him instantly a na
tional fame as an orator. The
plain, 1>I mil "way in which he put
the truth caused the Hast to won
der at his courage. The hit he
made with this speech was no acci
dent for he has gone on eclipsing
this effort almost every year since.
His speech on the Cuban question,
delivered in Congress, was copied
in more languages than even a well
educated man knows. It was cop
ied in 22 papers in France alone.
