W.G.G.BENWAY
CHAUTAUQUA DIRECTOR AND LECTURER
Dr. W. G. G. Benway
Chautauqua Director.
The Chautauqua has set up a
high and rigid standard for all
who wish to serve humanity in
its field. Its lectures must be
measured by truth and inspire
to all that is pure and noble and
best. Those who enter its ser
vice must be fitted to teach by
example as well as by word. W.
G. G. Benway has brought from
the Christian ministry all
these qualities. He radiates the
joy of right living. His mes
sages are filled with a wholesome
optism. They reveal the ripen
ed thought of a cultured mind.
His winning personality and rare
tact have made him a marked
success on the platform of some
of the great Assemblies in this
country. We are proud of the
man and his work.
First Number a Success.
Mr. Clarence Burgderfer,
“The Prince of Entertainers,”
was given us as the first number
of the lyceum course this season
and to say that he delighted all
of the large crowd that heard
him is putting it mildly.
Everyone was highly pleased
w’th his great fun and imperson
ations and his little bit of James
Witcomb Riley was an extremely
delightful treat. The ladies of
the Swastika Club are doing
tthatthemen of our town re
fused to do in giving us the ly
ceum course and are to be con
gratulated for the work they are
doing.
have made good on this
toeir first number and if those
u 0 follow Mr. Burgderfer come
UP to the standard which he has
. ’ Lwe Predict that the Club
Ul have a nice little sum of
money left after they have paid
311 expenses.
Ellsworth Plumstead.
A little girl described this man
as “The fellow who is lots of
folks.” It was so apt that it is
used here to introduce Mr. Plum
stead as a man capable of delin
eating character. When he
leaves the platform one feels
that he has been in the presence
of a group of people all different,
but each perfectly represented
by the many sided genius of
Plumstead. He is from Detroit,
Mich., and has been on the plat
form for many years always in
demand and always satisfactory.
In the afternoon he gives some
humorous sketches of people we
have either met or read about,
such as the “boy and the buck
wheat cakes.” “The English
dude,” and “the fellow and the
girl who compells her sweetheart
to wait while she puts up her
hair.” At night his program is
given in costume when he tells
about Uncle Ezra singing bass
in the church choir. He gives
a thrilling representation of J.
T. Trowbridge “The Vagabond”
or describes the worn out actor
on Broadway and his observations
on his triumps in the past. His
sketches of the silly boy are hu
morous in the extreme. In fact,
Mr. Plumstead can’t help being
funny. He looks on the bright
side of life, and leaves his audi
ence in a happy mood. In addi
tion to this gift, he is an artist
in his portrayal of human eccen
tricities.
