Opie Read, the noted novelist, newn- naper man and lecturer, will be at the Star Theatre Wednesday evening, February 20th. Of his lecture ‘‘Polly Pry,” writing in the Denver Post says: “Last night I had that opportunity to hear Opie Read, and I* am still smiling to myself—not alone at what he said bnt his manner of saying It He is such a big fellow, physically and mentally: so full of vitality and life that his very presence is like a breath of fresh, pure air. Six feet four, he stands, broad of shoulder and mighty of girt, with a great leonine head crowned with silky dark hair, which he wears a trifle long. He has a bold, handsome face, with a strong acquiline nose, a pair of lumioug eves fringed with black, and a broad, white brow, a tender femi nine sort of mouth, and the short, round chin with which men of imagina tion are usually marked. His voice suits his appearance, being full and mellow, with a full touch of pathos, without which no voice is really beau tiful. Mr. Read Is a personage of fame upon two continents—as they read his books, laugh at his humor and applaud his plays in Merry Eng land as much rs we do here in our own beloved America He has been a newspaper writer, a novelist, a piny writer and a lecturer for many years, and is known and loved all over our country, with which he is as familiar as many of us are with Sixteenth street. He says that this is his last lecture tour for at least ten years, as he has signed a contract with a great theatrical combine to write one play a vear. for that length of time. They are to give him $10,000 a year, and he thinks, if he tries hard, that he can manage to live on that—that is. he and Mrs. Read and the little Reads. In the meantime, he is tak ing a sort of farewell trip through the West, with his eyes verv wide open for ‘color’ and his ears pointed forward for 'dharacters’—and inci dentally. he is giving interpretations of his own stories and play. Go and see him. If you are good material you may some day discover yourself in a metropolitan play, provided ho sees you; but you can stand that for the sake of seeing and hearing him.” Why Refer to Doctors FOR Up-to-Date Job Prim ing, call at th€ LEDGER Office.
