What the Press says:



Indescribable




In her first lecture this season she was a veritable Joan d'Arc—tense, exalted, solemn.  Her audience sat entranced, hardly breathing.  Mrs. Fuldheim's historical knowledge is so vast, her wit so keen, her passion and courage so moving, that one is left without adequate words to describe her.—


Akron City Club Bulletin




A Thinker




Dorothy Fuldheim, whose mind dips into the welter of world affairs as easily as a pen dips into ink, and brings out in primerlike clarity convincing answer to problems that are baffling today's thinkers.

Whether Mrs. Fuldheim is primarily a thinker, an actress, or a humorist does not matter.  Certainly she demonstrated last night a right to the title of 
The Best Informed Woman in America
 which has been given to her.—


Battle Creek Moon Journal




Constructive Thinking




Dorothy Fuldheim's lectures are masterpieces.  Her breadth of research, constructive thinking, and masterful interpretation of current events make her an outstanding speaker—.


Pennsylvania State Supt. Thomas Francis




A Personality




It was a vivid personality and a rare woman to whom we were introduced last night in the Town Hall series, Dorothy Fuldheim.  She is intelligent, brilliant, fearless and she gave us a clear outline of affairs in Europe.

She is altogether charming to look upon, with red-bronze hair and beautiful figure which was robed in white satin over which she wore a short jacket of black lace.—


Oklahoma News




Long Remembered




Dorothy Fuldheim's lecture will long be remembered in this city.  She held her audience spellbound and brought a spontaneous burst of applause the like of which Town Hall audiences have accorded no speaker.—


Waco, Texas News Tribune




A Feat




This witty speaker accomplished a feat unparalleled in Ad Club meetings, a post session forum was announced and the membership 100% stayed with her.—


Rochester Democrat




Stirring




Stirring and thrilling in her second appearance here, Dorothy Fuldheim enhanced her reputation as a brilliant woman commentator on world affairs.—


Hudson, N. Y. Chronicle




Striking Beauty




Mrs. Fuldheim is an extraordinary woman.  Her personality is romantic, colorful and variegated.  In addition to her striking beauty, Mrs. Fuldheim has almost phenomenal mental capacities and a national reputation on questions pertaining to government, war and politics.—


Wheeling Intelligencer




Wealth of Knowledge




With a striking personality, an unusually fine vocabulary and a wealth of knowledge gleaned from countless trips abroad, the speaker held the audience entranced.  A brilliant by-play of wit, scintillating in its keeness placed the speaker above the ordinary rank of lecturer and brought her an ovation seldom accorded a speaker by reserved Anderson audiences.—


The Anderson Press




Brilliant




Dramatic, fluent, scholarly, versatile.  She is strikingly attractive in appearance and a charming manner.  Whatever her subjects, be it past history or current affairs, art or literature, this brilliant woman infuses a quality that insures not a dull moment.—


Paterson Morning Call




Spellbinder




A gala day at Rotary.  Dorothy Fuldheim held us spell-bound in our seats until after 2 o'clock.—


Chicago Rotary

Mrs. Fuldheim dramatized her material—a succession of stirring events carrying her breathless audience with her.—


Pittsburgh Post Gazette




Intellectual




Beautiful as well as intellectual.—


Columbus Citizen




Beautiful Delivery




Brilliant, beautiful delivery—there should be a law that everybody should be made to listen to such revealing lectures.—


Laredo Times




Marvelous




If her address had conveyed no information at all it was a real education to hear her diction and observe her gestures, yet beyond that her address was truly marvelous, painting word pictures as you never heard before told beautifully and understandingly straight from the shoulder.—


South Bend Rotary




Electrical




Electrically dynamic, held the convention fascinated.—


Bay City Times




Witty




Gorgeous bits of humor throughout her talk.—


Waukegan News





Authentic Information




Dorothy Fuldheim's reputation as one of the best informed women in the U. S. as a brilliant commentator has not come by chance; it is built up of hard work and experience.  She has lived everywhere and traveled extensively.  Every year she goes abroad and interviews famous figures and thus obtains absolutely authentic information.  She owns one of the largest modern libraries in Cleveland.  To call Mrs. Fuldheim a lecturer is an understatement, for she is as different from the stereotyped current affairs speaker as is possible.  Mrs. Fuldheim dramatizes her material, makes the personages in her discussion breathe and move.  She recreates on the platform the stirring events of which she speaks.—


Toledo Times




Humor




I liked her because she refused to pull her punches, because she let the chips fall where they would, because of her lack of pollyannaism (if there is such a word), because of her command of the English language, and because of her sense of humor.—


The Parkersburg News

News




The high spot in today's news is that which comes from the Cleveland Federation of Women's Clubs in regard to the Dorothy Fuldheim lectures.  In a hall jammed with 1,400 rapt listeners, Dorothy Fuldheim began her year's lectures.  The ways and means committee has for the first time in the history of the organization raised its full quota, thanks to the lectures.—


Cleveland Plain Dealer




A New Crusade




Those who heard Dorothy Fuldheim in her lecture here must have been impressed by the fact that they were listening to an unusual message.

Mrs. Fuldheim has spoken here many times and with great effectiveness yet in this appearance she was at her best.  For behind her keen perception, her vivid description, there burned the spirit of one, who as she herself said, had been deeply moved by what she had seen.

With all the feeling at her command she denounces Europe's tyrants.  With equal fervor she pleads for preservation of the American ideal.—

Editorial—Sharon Herald



Makes History a Fascinating Story




Dramatic, attractive, eyes that sparkle with a delightful humor and rare intelligence … her hands are long and tapering and she uses them to the greatest possible advantage … She upheld the title of 
The American H. G. Wells
, by making the history with which she dealt a fascinating story.—


Columbus Dispatch

South Bend News




Experience, Travel, Study




Completely compelling as a speaker.  It is a compliment to any audience to be treated as mentally superior—that is the Dorothy Fuldheim technique.  Prepared by experience, travel and study … we heard an exposition of facts and possibilities that carried considerably beyond anything we have heretofore heard upon this topic.  It was startling and an experience not to be forgotten in our thinking about the immediate future.  This speaker will be welcome if she appears again before the Kansas City Rotary Club.—


Buzz Saw, Kansas City





The Cleveland Banker
 summarizes her background
:



Brilliant,
 
dynamic,
 
witty,
 
the best-informed woman in America
.  These are but a few of the qualities which the press of the country has ascribed to Dorothy Fuldheim.  But what is the background of this woman whose sparkling personality, audacious wit, and keen analyses of current affairs year after year bring together evergrowing audiences?




Mrs. Fuldheim was trained as a schoolteacher, turned from that profession to the stage before she embarked on a career as a lecturer and commentator.  Her success as a speaker has been almost phenomenal.  In fourteen years she has spoken before more than 2500 audiences.  Her subjects have ranged from the history of the Russian Revolution to 
Is there a Gold Standard.




An avid reader from her early childhood, Mrs. Fuldheim owns one of the largest modern libraries in Cleveland.  She has interviewed many world-famous personages during her extensive travels on both continents.  Her stories, anecdotes, and wealth of experience make her, both off and on the lecture platform, one of the country's most pleasing raconteurs.




She has given more than 1500 paid lectures in Cleveland, thus disproving, in one case at least, that 
Prophet in his own city, etc.
  In five years the average attendance at A. I. B. sponsored lectures has increased from 400 to 1200.  
The Dorothy Fuldheim Lecture Course in current events has become a yearly Cleveland classic
.




There are only two people whom we have had before our group three times and these two people will be welcome back any time they come to us.  They are H. V. Kaltenborn and 
Dorothy Fuldheim.




—Rochester, N. Y. Rotary Club
