CROSBY SEND OUT VOLUNTEERS OF MERCHANT OF VENICE. Thames Bank Offered ann of $100,000 | Given for Benefit of Norwich Pupils’ and in One Evening $14,125 Was Reading rcle Which Will Re. Subscribed for the Help of the Vol- | ceive Entire Net Proceeds. AteNR for SRl War. There was a good attendance at Siater hall on Tuesday evening and a thorough enjoyment of the reading given by Prof. Thomas Crosby, Jr., of the English department of Brown uni- versity. This first reading was The Merchant of Venice, and the second is to be a more modern composition, The Liars, which is one of Professor Cros- Dby's best efforts. The date for this, Principal Hobson announced in his in- troduction of the speaker, has been changed from May 2d to May 9th, on account of prize reading at the univer- sity coming on the former date. Those who had the pleasure of hearing Pro- fessor Crosby.at his first visit to Nor- wich a year ago were glad to welcome his reappearance and othars were wel] pleased with his, interpretation of the | familiar Shakespéarean drama as given on Tuesday evening. His characters were well delineated and his concep- thon of Portia was rather an improve- ment upon the usual type—giving her more of @ sense of humor and a spirit of fun and mischief, which gave life and varlety to the play. His reading could not fail to give one a better understanding of the play as a. whole and a deeper respect for the brilliant author of the lines. These readings arp given by the Principals’ club for the financial bene- fit of the newly organized Norwich Pupils' Reading circle. The reading was educative, interest- ing and enterfaining. Nothing superior in this line of public entertainment can | be secured and Professor Crosby is| equal if not superior to anyone who | attemnts this work. He is @ thorough | Shakespearean - scholar, teaching| Shakespearean courses at Brown uni- {versity. Fle is also a close student of | the drama, old- and new, and_offers | courses at college dealing with this. | In addition, he spent two years stud: ing for the stage. He has the power | of interpretation and portraval of what | he reads. His readings are delightful | and wherever he'is known. they are an | attraction. The club is to be congrat- luated upon -accomplishing two gopd things in bringing Professor Crosby to Norwich—they are offering a _high cinss attraction and are devoting the entire proceeds to the furtherance of a work that wilhymean much to the boys ana girls of this city. Last spring the Principals’ club started the Norwich Pupils’ Reading circle. This circle i8 made up of the boys and girls in the sehools of the entire town. The purpose is to create and cultivate the habit of reading good books. _Most. children are hound to read, What they read depends upon the guidance furnished them sin the Norwigh was tingling with excite- ment fifty years ago at this time in preparation for the civil war. Govern- mation ealling for _volunteers, fiags were flying from all sections of the clity and_the spirlt of the time was fuily aroused. Thg Bulletin of that time had the following to ‘say “At a meeting of the Thames [ bank Tuesday noon, April 16, 1861, this resolution was passed: Re- solyed, That. to assist the state in meéting the requisition of the presi- dent of -the.

His words were heard with deep interesL and showed the great need of strength- ening public sentiment and the bring- ing about of the desired object of the organization by education. The great harm that the laxity in providing. for this has done and will do was. clearly set forth. He was given a rising vote of thanks and answered a number.of questions at the close. 1t was brought out during the even- ing that there s a crying need of strong_public sentiment to back up tha enforcement of the laws, which the autkorities say cannot be énforced un less public sentiment will assist.
