born
not made. There are many of both, but seldom is such efficiency of both found in one person as in Mr. Marshall. He presents a program of
fine art,

PRESS COMMENTS
Custer Weekly Chronicle, Custer, S. D.
—The baritone solos of Mr. Marshall were the best ever rendered in the town, and his songs illustrated with crayon were the newest and most unique things ever presented.
Times-Herald, Dallas, Texas.
—The program as a whole was delightful, but the greatest enthusiasm was aroused by the marvelous playing of the boy pianist, Virro Anderson, a lad of only fifteen years. His execution is faultless and his shading and conception really matured.
Dallas Morning News, Dallas, Texas.
—The rule prohibiting encores was entirely disregarded when Master Virro Anderson, aged only eleven years, played Chopin's C sharp minor waltz. The enthusiasm he created necessitated his appearing again and again.
Daily News, Dallas, Texas.
—Set over against the fine playing of maturer students of Landon Conservatory was the masterful performance of Virro Anderson, a boy of twelve years. His execution is wonderful not because he is young; it is wonderful and the performer happens to be young.
Beau Monde, Dallas, Texas.
—All the numbers on the program were liberally applauded, but the fourth number, played by the boy pianist, Virro Anderson, was the most enthusiastically received. When the little man seated himself at the piano the audience expected to hear a child perform. They were surprised to hear an artist.
PRESS AND PERSONAL COMMENTS
Daily Record, Coffeyville, Kansas.
—Mr. Marshall, the reader and crayon artist, is an adept in his line and his efforts never fail to please, each one being met with profuse applause, which demanded encores.
Alma Signal, Alma, Kansas.
—The Cameron Marshall entertainment at the Auditorium Saturday evening was well attended and the entertainment first class. Mr. Marshall is a good singer and musician, a fine crayon artist and pleased his audience. Master Virro Anderson is a marvelous young man at the piano and was heartily encored after each number. The entire entertainment pleased the audience.
News, Eudora, Kansas.
—The reading and crayon sketches of Mr. Marshall were exceptionally fine, showing what a piece of crayon could do in the hands of an artist, even to the illustration the
cause of delay on the Santa Fe.
His illustration was enough to stop a clock. The numerous encores received showed to what extent the audience appreciated his efforts.
St. Joseph News-Press, St. Joseph, Mo.
—A large audience attended the Cameron Marshall entertainment at the Y. M. C. A. music hall last night, and its approval was manifested in liberal applause. This was the second number of the entertainment course scheduled and the expectations of the association were fully realized in Mr. Marshall and his young pianist. Mr. Marshall has a mellow, deep voice and his original idea of illustrating his songs by crayon sketches proved a delightful feature.
Daily Times, Leavenworth, Kansas.
—For the second attraction of the eight serial lecture and entertainment course given under the auspices of the public schools of this city, Mr. Cameron Marshall was the attraction. This company constitutes Mr. Cameron Marshall, baritone, crayon artist and harpist, efficiently assisted by Master Virro Anderson, pianist. The soloistic numbers of Mr. Marshall were very good, but the crayon sketching excelled all. Mr. Marshall possesses an exuberance of talent which, combined with the efforts of Master Anderson as pianist, fill a very delightful evening.
Daily Mail, Anderson, S. C.
—Mr. Marshall is an expert with the crayon and makes the most beautiful and realistic pictures which seem almost in an instant.
Democrat, Greenville, Miss.
—The first number of the lecture course was enjoyed Wednesday evening. Mr. Marshall's solos were especially good, and his lightning crayon sketches were the work of an artist.
Daily Citizen, Centerville, Iowa.
—Mr. Marshall has a very fine baritone voice and sings with remarkable expression and his voice could easily be heard all over the big tent and far out into the crowd that packed around it. His soloistic numbers were especially enjoyed.
Daily Beacon, Wichita, Kansas.
—Judged from the work at the Christian Church last night, Mr. Marshall was surely a favorite. The audience was delighted with his solo numbers especially
Annie Laurie.
He is an artist of rare ability, and his scenic numbers were exceptionally fine.
News, Alta Vista, Kansas.
—The first number of the Alta Vista Lecture Course Monday evening was a decided success and the attendance was large considering the inclement weather. The attraction was Mr. Cameron Marshall and his pianist, Master Virro Anderson, and everyone present speak of it as a strictly high class entertainment. Mr. Marshall certainly is an artist with the crayon, and showed what a piece of crayon could do in the hands of an artist. His solo numbers were as good as can be heard on any stage.
Mr. Marshall appeared at the Christian Church Friday night, and gave a very creditable entertainment; for one and one-half hours the audience was highly entertained with instrumental or vocal music, crayon sketches or repertoire; not one dull moment from start to finish. Mr. Marshall is an artist of high order as well as a master of song. If he should come this way again, Burlington would give him a hearty welcome.
