COMMENT
DR. GREEN, Chicago.—Mr. Zwickey's Lectures are most refreshing, entertaining and instructive, inspiring his auditors with the real meaning of Art as the expression of the soul of things.

MONTAVILLE FLOWERS, Cincinnati.—The Art Entertainments given by Mr. Zwickey appeal most highly to Lyceum audiences.  They are unique as well as new, and solid as well as entertaining, and far above the ordinary chalk talk entertainment.

DR. McCLARY, New York City.—Accept this little token from one who has seen your work and heard you lecture.  You show us how to see God's beautiful world, and to look thru Nature to Nature's God.  The rill is tuneless to his ear who feels no harmony within.

RICHMOND P. HOBSON, Atlanta.—You are authorized to quote me unreservedly in endorsing Mr. Zwickey's platform work.  It is spirited and entertaining and has the true artistic spirit, being educational and uplifting.

DR. EUGENE MAY, Washington, D. C.—The Lyceum platform has few such Artists as Mr. Zwickey.  I have heard him with deep and genuine pleasure.

HON. G. A. GEARHART, Buffalo.—Mr. Zwickey proves that in the broad field of Art it is easily possible to entertain even the commonest people.  I congratulate the Lyceum on securing him.

OCEANIC, N. J.—Zwickey was a most delightful close to our splendid course.  He is simply fine.  My idea of what we should have more frequently.—Rev. A. A. McKay, Chairman of Lyceum Course.

DEAR MR. ZWICKEY.—Your services for this bureau during the four seasons you have been with us have been eminently satisfactory to our patrons and ourselves.  All are enthusiastic in your praise.

Scorer, Mgr., Scorer Lyceum Bureau, President, Federated Lyceum Bureau, Philadelphia.
