KKK K KKK KKK KKK KK ABOUT THE CITY. e Thomas Brooks Fletcher, great dramatic orator, at the M. E. church auditor- ium, Monday, Jan. 10, as next number in Iyceum course of Woman’s Study club. KKK KK KKK KKK KKK One of the most brilliant lecturers on the American platform, Thomas Brooks Fletcher, will be in Bemidji again next Monday evening at the M. E. church auditorium as the next number of the Woman’s Study Club Lyceum program. : Mr. Fletcher, when in Bemidji the last time, gave a lecture on the sub- ject, “The Martyrdom of Fools.” In thought Mr. Fletcher was profound, keen and convincing. In delivery he was powerful, fascinating and dram- atic. In personality he was cordial, refreshing and original. His com- ing again is much looked for by Be- midji Lyceum goers. Thomas Brooks Fletcher is one of the few new and big ones in the Ly- ceum and Chautauqua fleld. He is the youngest of the great lecturers who fill today the places held on the rostrum a generation ago by Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips and others of the ‘‘great ones gone be- fore and ever by.” He was a success as a journalist and newspaper writer and met immediate recognition when he left journalism for the more un- trammeled publicity of the platform. He is a dynamo of earnest thought with a marvelous gift of conveying his thought to his hearers. There is no doubt but that Mr. Fletcher is one of the few truly great orators of the time and with a message of paramount importance. Some of his subjects are: ‘Tragedies of the Un- prepared” and “The Modern Judas.” Here is a typical acknowledgement of Mr. Fletcher’s work published in the Belle Plain (Iowa) Union: ““Thomas Brooks Fletcher opens fire on his audience with the rap- idity of a gatling gun and the force of a thunder storm * * * but by sheer force of an indomitable and irresistible personality, he drives home his facts, and exposes in all their hideous and contemptible de- formity many of our economic, socail and political acts of hpyrocisy. The preacher, teacher, and politician, and editor, who are-afraid to sneeze un- til their constituents take snuff try to hide under their seats before Fletcher gets through with them. He is the strongest man on the lecture course and his message ought to be heard in every town in the land.” * Kk k ok ok Kk ok k k Mrs. F. S. her bed with a severe attack of la grippe.
