Bill Bone, the poet-entertainer, is coming to Murray as the first number of the lecture course for the winter season, on Thursday, October 7. Bill Bone is one of the best entertainers on the lecture platform anil should be given a 'good attendance. The Com mercial club is endeavoring to give the people of Murray and vicinity a good line of entertainment, and they should make the first number a hummer. In coming to you Mr. Bone desires to be looked upon as just human, ami you will find him intensely so. He looks it, acts it and entertains in a most human way. Regardless of his testimonials there is nothing super human about him. He prefers to re main on a level with humanity, that they may look straight at him and not up to him within the reach of the warm hand shake and within the sound of "Howdy, glad to see you, Bill." As a poet, humorous lecturer or character interpreter you will find him refreshing-in originality, artistic in being natural, and sufficiently digni fied, without posing, to be highly re spected. He carries no red fire for tableaux, and if he ever tried to strike an attitude he'd strike out in the first inning. Bill apes no man, living or dead; in fact he does not need to be a 'Tocka Da Monk" for anybody's hand organ. He writes what he reads it's part of the man. Then he reads what he writes, as few writers can. He is humorous without being silly; poetical without being rhythmically monotonous; earnest and logical with out removing his coat or collar, and intensely patriotic without ranting or waving a flag. Bill Bone has the fac ulty of blending his varied talents into one entertaining, uplifting, worth while lecture-recital program. Cabbage for Sale.
