I AMUSEMENTS
Mim Bertha Dark, who assisted Mr
Williams at his -lecture-recital" on
Tuesday evening, haa improved wonder
fully within the year. Her work speaks
excellently for her teacher, Mr. Lamp
recht, whom, by the way, it ia a pity that
we have not more opportunities to hear.
Her technique ia excellent. Unfortun
ately both of the numbers that she
played were rather of the difficult, elab
orate, and florid order, bo that it ia not
easy to judge of her tone in singing pas
sages. She was hampered, too, by her
instrument, which lacked richness of
may add to oratory, it cannot make it.
Oratory is not the genius of elaborate
delivery. It is the genius of creation,
of personal presence, of weighted utter
ance, which, crudely or superbly, will
compel its way.
Mr. Williams is not an orator. He
is a clever elocutionist, and would
make in humorous or humorous-pathetic
roles, like Ion louson or Rip Van
Winkle, a very successful actor. But
between the art of dramatic elocution
and oratory there is a great gulf fixed.
If you doubt it, call out your favorite
orator before the curtain and listen to
his elocution! Where are his jests and
jibes now? He can save others, but
himself. No, we prefer Mr. Bryan.

Kiuawiak by WiniawBki, was remark
ably brilliant, with inspiring tire and
force. It is to be hoped that she may
be heard under circumstances more fav
orable. Mr. George C. Williams, like .roost
elocutionists, comes out strong in the
comic "Or Pickett's Nell" and "Fare
Thee Well, Brother WatkinB" give him
full opportunity for grotesque gesture,
amusing modulation of voice in fact for
very clever and very telling impersona
tion. He can give us the absuid
preacher, tho bashful debater, the howl
ing "orator." But he cannot give us
simple, strong pathos. This iB his limi-
To John Smith and Nellie Smith his
wife. Mary L. Smith and Eliza H.
Brown, defendants, you and each of you
will take notice that on the day of
September, 1895, Isaac Lang, plaintiff,
herein filed his petition In the district
court of Lancaster county, Nebraska,
against said defendants and others, the
object and prayer of which are to fore
close a certain mortgage executed by
the defendants, John Smith and Nellie
Smith, his wife, to the defendant, the
Clark & Leonard Investment Company,
which mortgage was afterwards and on
the 5th day of March, 1891, sold and as
signed to this plaintiff, and which mort
gage was given upon lot No. nine (9),
block two hundred and three (203), in the
city of Lincoln, said county and state,
and was to secure the payment of one
certain promissory note or bond, dated
tation, and not only his limitation, but at Lincoln. Nebraska, January 15th, 1891,
the limitation of the art of elocution.
The fault is inherent in the artistic
medium. Elocution is an art half of ut
terance, half of acting, an art that re
quires a deliberate perversion, exagger
ation, falsity to nature. And art that is
eo false to nature is hardly, in the deeper
sense, an art at all.
No matter how intensely a man tells a
story, ha will not tell it as an elocution
ist would tell it. He aims at telling, not
at building, on the foundation of his
narrative a superstructure of gesture,
intonation and facial expression. The
elocutionist studies the words, the scene
described. He should study the speak
er, the story-teller, and aim at reproduc
ing his intensity of recollected emotion.
As to the vividness of the ecene, that is
the matter of the literary .artist. Few
great pieces of literature need elocution.
Nine out of ten lose by it. Even Shake
speare is. to many of us, stronger as his
words come from the printed page than
as they are delivered to ub by even the
ablest of actors. The poet has given
his words appropriate rhy thm. The elo
cutionist, like the perverse. piano-player,
is superior to rhythm. He perverts the
time, upsets the whole metrical design,
substitutes for the even measures of the
poet the reckless accelerando or ritard
ando of his own wild will, till the verse
hurries and slows like the engines of a
steamer when the screw races in a dead
sea.
Mr. Williams failed to show that elo
cution is of practical value in oratory.
His talk was weakened sadly by the de
liberate art of its delivery. Every ges
ture was so artfully elaborated, every
tone of voice so obviously intended that
one felt that one was listening, not to
what a man had to say, but to a "pro
duction," an "effort." Many a country
orator, who would have to look up the
word "eiocution" in his "Webster,"
could command closer attention, could
rouse more enthusiasm than Mr. Wil
liams, who stood and delivered with
graceful gestures, his own words, just as
if they had been the words of another,
