An Inspirational Lecture   by Harry C. White
THE nature of this lecture, which pertains not only to the accomplishments of the men of science of today, but to the men and women of the dark ages who helped to combat physical darkness.  Mr. White uses in this lecture paraphernalia valued at many thousands of dollars.  He brings a COMPLETE RESEARCH LABORATORY.  He demonstrates and vividly portrays, with word pictures, new scientific facts that you have heard little or nothing about in this cavalcade of events.

The lecture has a very unique beginning for on a darkened stage a FAGGOT, man's first light, brings us out of the darkness of long ago.  With a very unusual collection of old lamps, some that were used in 600 B. C., early clay lamps, originals.  His collection of old lamps, HIS HOBBY, is rated as one of the rarest and best.  After the Clay lamps the Betty Iron Lamps, Lard oil, Whale oil, and Camphine Lamps, Candle Molds rarely if ever seen now-a-days and a light clock used in Colonial times.  An original Edison Cotton Filiment Lamp and a unique collection of original fibres and grasses used by Thomas Alva Edison to make the first lamps.  Mr. White Lights an Edison Lamp.  Then the second to the largest lamp in the world, 100,000 candle power, 30,000 watts, will be shown and explained

The proof of MAN'S PROGRESS is then shown with mans latest findings, things that are new in the world of science, PIPED LIGHT, actually transmitting light through a knot made of LUCITE, then piping it across the platform.  Mr. White carries with him the smallest broadcasting station ever made by man.  About the size of an average hand, with this his audience is permitted to broadcast from their seats to a receiving station on the platform and from there the voice will be carried back to them.  Another new instrument is the TELEFLASH, made especially for this lecture, will permit music to be transmitted, voice that can actually be seen as it passes through space on beam of light.

DANCING LIGHT — (electrons) Looking at sound actually seeing music and countless other miracles including the graft of human heart.  Mr. White is using a large and special OSCILLOGRAPH, an instrument of this size seldom leaves the laboratory.  The new TELETOUCH, an instrument that transmits electric waves, unseen to a human eye and yet when intercepted by a hand or a body unusual things happen.  This instrument together with his latest electric eye keeps his hearers in the edge of their chairs and yet it is all a part of the PROGRESS OF MAN.

WHEN THE AUDITORIUM CAN BE DARKENED Mr. White demonstrates the wonder world of chemical and COLOR, showing unsuspected marvels in gorgeous colors, this is all new.  Mr. White, as President and General Manager of the U. V. Color Company of New Jersey and discoverer of many unusual things in the law of fluorescence has access to the best in the world of color.  His handpainted tapestries and gorgeous robes, like many of the instruments outlined above, have never before been offered to the general public.  THIS IS A NEW LECTURE.

This material serves to illustrate some of the steps forward in the PROGRESS of civilization from the day that man first developed a medium by which he uses artificial light and thus established himself master over the power of darkness.  It would be difficult to duplicate Mr White's collection of scientific equipment, and yet, his demonstration, while of tantamount interest to the technical, scientifically minded audience, are so ably given, that they are equally fascinating to the veriest layman.  WHERE A GENUINELY INSPIRATIONAL TALK with a new, impressive, and dramatic presentation is needed, this lecture admirably fills the demand of the occasion.

Dear Harry:-

I thought you might be interested in having the enclosed excerpt from a letter received by me from our good friend Dr. Robert Arthur Elwood, Pastor of the Board Walk Church, Atlantic City, he was simply delighted with your program.

You sure know how to pick them!  Harry White is a wonder and gave our Pleasantville Kiwanis Ladies Night last evening a great treat.

We have much to thank you for, Harold.  We all sure appreciate your generous action of last night.  No need to be afraid to have Harry go anywhere, for he not only entertains and instructs, but he inspires and awes his hearers.  His revelation of what light can do to color is like opening the Gates of Heaven and seeing glories unspeakable.
