Show I . No I'lace for tlie Lecturer. New York Sl.:ir. "New York is the worst city iu the country for tho lecturer," said an em-j em-j ployee of a lyccuiu bureau the other j day, "and Philadelphia is one of the best. Jioston, however, is the only city j that can furnish a paying audience at a j matinee lecture. On the whole, Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania is the bet state for lectures. The lecture goes best in towns of from I IHkio to 20. OIK) inhabitants. However. Pittsburg is a good lecture town, ami : even Chicago takes strong attractions, j The theater-going people do not nt-' nt-' tend lectures, and vice versa, so that j the method for advertising for thealti-1 thealti-1 cal attractions does not work in the j case of lectures. New Kngland is j hardly so good a field for lectures as it once was, but thero is still a lareo lecture-going community iu all Yankee cities." |
