...Franklyn Sargent, Director of the New York School of Acting, lectures this evening in Sanders on "elocution in a collegiate course of study." Mention has already been made of the value of this lecture if heard with an idea to learn, but even from the standpoint of entertainment it promises to be of a high order.
