A reading by Mrs. Sallie Bullock Cave whose culture of voice and power of interpretation amount to genius.  She wore a most becoming French costume of the 18th century and the stage setting had clusters of tall white candles, and the footlights were shaded in rose color.  Her first selections were three 18th century vignettes by Austin Dobson, dainty poems expressing an entire play in simple language and few stanzas.  The last was in more serious vein, showing Mrs. Cave's fine versatility.  The Minuet, by Louis N. Parker.—

Mrs. Cave's Charming Address—The Department of Literature held the December meeting on Saturday afternoon at the Woman's Club.

In connection with her theme she read with admirable interpretation, poems, representative of the new school, including Patterns, by Amy Lowell; Hills, Arthur Guiterman; Hills of Home, Witter Bynner; Pity, Sarah Teasdale; Caliban, in the Coal Mine, Louis Untermeyer; The Swallow, Ralph Hodgson; A Handful of Dust, James Oppenheim, etc., etc. Mrs. Cave looked most charming in a gown of pink georgette crepe.

Abraham Lincoln—One of the largest audiences which ever gathered for a meeting of the Woman's Club of Central Kentucky greeted Mrs. Sallie Bullock Cave in her admirable dramatic interpretation of John Drinkwater's play Abraham Lincoln Saturday afternoon.  Mrs. Cave gave a masterful critique of the play before her reading.  The wonderful power of the play exercised an influence over the audience which was easily discernable as the play proceeded.  Mrs. Cave read for an hour and a half, and her audience gave her the closest attention and sympathy throughout the time, being much moved by the rendition.  General F. C. Marshall, military governor of the city and officers of the First Division, were present.—

Mrs. Cave at the Club—Mrs. Cave has appeared often before the club and the announcement of her program brought many members to the meeting.  Mrs. Cave's remarkable talent as an interpreter was never seen to better advantage than in the difficult and tragic Masefield masterpiece, which calls for the most artistic and sympathetic appreciation.  Her masterful rendering of the Gloucestershire dialect gave a most delightful touch to her reading, and she brought to her audience the pathos and tragedy of Nan, who was led to murder her lover and then commit suicide by drowning.  Before the reading Mrs. Cave gave a sketch of Masefield, dwelling on his unique mastery of rhythm and his power as a writer and thinker.—

With a large experience of life and literature, and the prestige of brilliant work done in Boston, Mrs. Cave brings to the practice of her profession a high degree of proficiency and a mental equipment of unusual breadth and scope.  This with a thorough knowledge of the technique of her work, should render her success as a teacher here wholly assured.

Mrs. Sallie Bullock Cave. impersonator, reader and lecturer, gave a charming entertainment last night at the Episcopal Parish House.  Mrs. Cave is a member of the Faculty of the Lexington College sf Music, and it was under the auspices of the institution that the entertainment was given.  Mrs. Cave's program included a variety of characters, offering a wide scope for her artistic ability.  The character studies were drawn true to life and were differentiated with skill and insight by the reader, whose voice is one of great flexibility and power.  The dramatic situations were handled so well that pathos and humor were maintained in true proportion.  Her charming versatility created an atmosphere of individuality through which the characters of her delineation appeared.—

Artistic Reading By Mrs. Cave.  One of the most artistic readings heard at my time from the platform at the Woman's Club was that of Saturday afternoon, The Little King by Witter Bynner, interpreted by Mrs. Sallie Bullock Cave.  Every character in the drama spoke, revealing his very soul and gripping the heart of listener first with pity, then filling it with exaltation for the majesty of the soul of man.  Mrs. Cave carried her audience back into the prison of Louis, the Seventeenth of France, with an ease and understanding that made each hearer for the time an eyewitness to the events depicted in The Little King A play wherein move the imprisoned boy-king, his keepers, his tiny pet and those who would attempt his liberation.  In some way that way known but to the real artist—Mrs. Cave caused to appear the very atmosphere of the darkened room where her characters spoke and suffered.—
