STEPHENS' PICTURE ENTERTAINMENTS
A. W. Stephens' Picture Entertainments Illustrated Lectures Picture Songs
A. W. STEPHENS
The Latest Moving Pictures Projected with the powerful Calcium Light, producing pictures that are Clear, Distinct, and practically without Vibration.
CHAUTAUQUA MANAGERS ASSOCIATION CHICAGO, ILL.
THE Stephens Picture Entertainers have been eminently successful for the past five years, and are in constant demand during the entire Lecture Season. Mr. Stephens has had twenty-five years' experience as preacher, pastor and public speaker, and for the past five years has devoted all his time to giving Illustrated Lectures using both the Double Stereoptican, producing beautiful dissolving effects, and The Moving Picture Machine, and many of the scenes shown are familiar because of having traveled quite extensively and personally visited these places. He is a speaker of exceptional ability and with a voice that is clear and an enunciation that is distinct can easily be heard in the largest assemblies.
