Hop kinson Smith, the author of "The Other Fellow," just out, "Caleb West," "Tom Grogan," and "Col onel Carter," who will appear in Normal Auditorium, on the even ing of Jan. 22. Matthew Arnold had much to read, but he read in a dry fashion, wholly devoid of even the faintest approach to dramatic charm. Mr. bmith has a dramatic instinct that makes his very conversation pleas ing, and his stories immensely en tertaining. On the platform this quality evinces itself in such a way as to have elicited this expression of its effectiveness from a critic writing in the Charleston News and Courier: "His audience last night would have been charmed with him had he appeared in his shirt sleeves, so entertaining was ne in nis read ings from his own artistic works. and so charming was his actine. for besides being writer, painter.bridge- Duuaer, and citizen of the world, nis dramatic bump is also well de veloped. But for the evidence of the eyes, one would have said last nignc tnat the dog George was cer tainly on the stage with his master, and Tom Grogan. and the old neero mammy who helped the artist to paint a portrait m Cincinnati it was so real I so true to nature ! which is the highest art.
