CONSUMPTION
Novelist, Newspaper Man and Lectur
er Here on the 20th.
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.”
