V LX 1 w 1 a - i A i i r D y fJi r TWENTY THIRD YEAR he With Frank Roberson In Norway An appreciative audience went with Frank Roberson through Norway the Land of the Midnight Sun in the opera house Monday night and every step of the way and incident of the trip was a delight Mr Roberson confesses to an ardent love for Norway and its people and during the several trips he has made to the Norsolnnd the homo of the Vik ings he hns secured -and preserved a rare lot of pictures which he projects with artistic effects and colorings upon the screen for the delectation of his aud ience Much of his address was made up of personal incidents quite all of it but the brillinnt word pictures which at times come from his lips like an aval anche Norway does not have the meat that India offers a lecturer but its gen eral unfamiliarity to the average Ameri can gives it added interest Its quaint virtuous simple honest people its pic turesque costumes and peculiar customs its beauty and grandeur and oxclusive uess of scenory the Norwegian admira tion for America all make Norway an appealing theme a d study And when Frank Roberson shows you and tolls the story with the skill of an artist and the finish of a traveller of wide experi ence you must be obtuse and stupid to fail to be entertained and enlightened While the audi nee was quite satisfact ory it was not all it should have been The opera house should havo been crowded The subject and speaker de served it McCook would do herself more credit in a much more liberal pat ronage of entertainments of this grade and in withholding some
