FRANK B. LOGAN
The Cartoonist
Frank B. Logan is a young cartoonist of exceptional talents. He has followed the work for the past ten years, rounding out his chosen profession by a long experience with several important daily newspapers throughout the East and Middle West.
Mr. Logan's work always carried with it the requisite punch, so characteristic of the successful newspaper cartoonist. Following his newspaper work he made several successful Lyceum and Chautaqua tours prior to the war.
When Uncle Sam joined in the big conflict Mr. Logan found himself an officer in the olive-drab army in France. His keenly trained observational power enabled him to look upon army life through the eyes of the experienced newspaper man and cartoonist. During spare moments as a soldier he cartooned little phases of life that he saw about him, for his own personal enjoyment. Fellow officers noted his work and soon Mr. Logan was

made the official cartoonist of the LeMans Bulletin—the big newspaper published at one of the embarkation points in France. His work with the Bulletin won wide commendation, repeated demands from other A. E. F. publications, increased his fame as an artist, and soon caused wide demand for his work. Then came calls for public appearances, and his Chautauqua and Lyceum experience made him an instant favorite among the soldiers of Uncle Sam, Great Britain and Canada.
Logan's work reflects the indomitable spirit of the Canadian soldier and the American dough-boy, for he not only saw them in action, but was himself a part of the great allied machine. Consequently a portion of his entertainment consists of humorous side lights of army life.

His pictures are artistically correct. They sparkle with keen humor and irony. He works with lightning rapidity and is a master of splendid color effects. A feature of his entertainment is the illustration of the Robert Service poems. These Mr. Logan reads as he works. His art is just a little different from any other cartoonist, and his drawings accurately picture the many sides of life gathered from first hand experience. Affiliated audiences will enjoy Mr. Logan's work during the coming season.

Following a Recent Tour Through Canada
Frank B. Logan, cartoonist and entertainer, held the absorbed attention of his audience Thursday evening of last week at Fillmore Presbyterian church with his humorous crayon lecture. Mr. Logan put a punch into every stroke and line. The committee is well pleased with both the attendance and the artist's program.—

Frank B. Logan, cartoonist and entainer, delighted his audience at Bromhead, Sask., last Friday evening with a series of crayon sketches, which were much above the average. His lecture covers many and varied subjects, ranging from Rural folk characters and scenes to the soldier's life in France. Mr. Logan himself is an ex-soldier, having seen much service in France; and with his talent as a cartoonist and reader, he is well fitted to give a crayon lecture which merits the highest praise.—

The last concert of the Lyceum Bureau was given here on Wednesday night, when Frank B. Logan, who was substituting for Geo. Colby, delighted his audience with his cartoons and illustrated recitals. Both in his character and scenic drawings Mr. Logan showed himself a finished artist, and his illustrating of Robert Service's poems were exceptionally well done.—

Frank B. Logan, cartoonist, was the last attraction to appear on the Lyceum course at Wawota this winter. Mr. Logan's work was well received and greatly appreciated by the audience. Having seen many months' service in France, he drew many humorous sketches of the soldier's life overseas. His colored scenes ranging from summer and autumn landscapes, to the snow-capped mountains of the Yukoa, are worthy of the highest comment. No more pleasing evening could be spent than to attend one of Frank B. Logan's crayon lectures.—
