Show LECTURE COURSE IS CLOSED B MAUD MAY BABCOCK Prof. Maud May Babcock of the University of Utah, closed the Weber academy lecture course last night with a fine reading of Percy Mackaye's drama, "Tho Scarecrow." There was a large audience present and the power of the well known reader held all in clo3e attention for over two hours. The Mackaye drama is a complex ono, weird in Its subject matter and presenting many characters. It Is a difficult ono for a reader to attempt without the scenic accessories, and the successful interpretation given it by Miss Babcock, on a bare platform, was but another proof of hor ability to hold tho place which she occupies in the hearts of Utahns, both as a reader and educator. nn |
