MR. ZWICKEY has been the surprise and delight of forty-five Chautauquas the past two seasons, and he will give his lecture - entertainment in over fifty during the coming summer. Mr. Zwickey draws door receipts as well as pic¬tures. He talks sense as well as nonsense. He is not a cartoonist or a caricaturist. His is an art entertainment filled with beauti¬ful perspectives, brilliant colorings and ludi¬crous situations. You do not notice till after¬wards that you have taken a comprehensive lesson in art; that you have "learned things' while being entertained.
THE BUREAU.
The Best in Art and plenty of real Fun
PERSONAL MENTION
DR. GREEN, Chicago.—Mr. Zwickey's lectures are most refreshing, entertaining and instructive, inspir¬ing his auditors with the real meaning of Art as the expression of the soul of things.
C. E. CARTER, Supt. Schools, Greeley, Colo.— Nothing but praise for the exhibition by a man who demonstrates by his drawings what he describes in eloquent language.
MONTAVILLE FLOWERS, Cincinnati, Ohio. The Art lectures given by Mr. Zwickey appeal most highly to lyceum audiences. They are unique as well new, and solid as well as entertaining, and I consider them far above the ordinary chalk-talk entertainment.
MRS. A. B. ARMSTRONG,
Los Angeles, Cal. ~ We found Mr. Zwickey a gentleman and a thorough artist. He pleased his audience and held their attention till the last minute. His work is instructive and refining.
W. L. COVEY, Trinidad, Colo. —Mr. Zwickey took well — not a dull moment last evening. He reached the boys and girls, the old and young, the ignorant, the wise.
/. H. FELLINGHAM, Secre¬tary Y.M.C. A., Des Moines, Iowa. — Mr. Zwickey's very artistic work during the progress of his address provided one of the most fascinating and educative entertainments we have had in our building.
F. CHAMBERLAIN, Tacoma, Wash.—An Al entertainment and a star lecture combined, by a cul¬tured and educated gentleman.
DR. THOMAS Mc CLARY, New York City. —Accept this little token of commendation from one who has seen your work and heard you lecture. You show us how to see God's beautiful world, and to look through nature to nature's God. "The rill is tune¬less to his ear who feels no harmony within."
E. M. HOYT, Nampa, Idaho — Mr. Zwickey in his Art entertainment gave good satisfaction. He is an entertainer on the platform and social to meet. We enjoyed him thoroughly from start to finish.
C. F. WHEELER, Vale, Ore.—Mr. Zwickey is fine, clean, strong and pleasing to all.
P. ROBERTSON, Yuma, Ariz.-Mr. Zwickey made himself king of hearts here last night. Nothing could have been better than his lecture, and no man ever captivated an audience like he did.
F. W. BRIDLER, Del Norte, Colo- Our people were delighted with Mr. Zwickey and his work. The rapidity with which he worked was only exceeded by the excellence of his pictures. We were pleased.
DR. EUGENE MAY, Washington, D. C— The lyceum platform has few such artists as Mr. Zwickey. I have heard him with deep pleasure.
/. M. CARLEY, Sec'y Chau¬tauqua, Galesburg, Illinois.—Mr. Zwickey, the popular artist, gave us two of his demonstrated Art lec-tures at our Chautauqua. We have had the best of the nation's talent on our platform, yet never a nicer evening than the one by Mr. Zwickey. Our Chautauqua people look forward with pleasant antici¬pation to hearing him again.
SUNSHINE WILL ITS,
Spring Lake, N. /.— It was my great pleasure to be present at one of Lorenzo Zwickey's entertain¬ments, and I take pleasure in bearing witness to his great skill in rapid sketching, the beauty of his com¬positions, and the good sense and refinement of his lecture. His wit also is as good as his art.
HON. G. A. GEARHART, Buffalo, N. Y.-Mr. Zwickey proves that in the broad field of Art it is easily possible to entertain even the commonest people. I congratulate the lyceum on securing him.
RICHMOND P. HOBSON, Atlanta, Ga.-You are authorized to quote me unreservedly in en¬dorsing Mr. Zwickey's platform work. It is spirited and entertaining to a high degree and has the true artistic spirit, being educational and uplifting.

PRESS COMMENT
RON TRADE JOURNAL, Two Harbors, Mich.— Mr. Zwickey's lecture was thoroughly enjoyed. Full of whole¬some instruction, witty sayings and plenty of invigorating humor. He is marvelously rapid with his work on canvas.
ST. JOSEPH GAZETTE.-One of
the most interesting and instructive num¬bers of the entire assembly was the Art lecture by Mr. Zwickey. The lecture was illustrated by rapid sketching.
EL 0ASO HERALD.-Mr. Zwickey gave a very enjoyable entertainment. He is an artist of recognized ability and of pleasing mannner. He entertains his au¬dience and gives them something to think about. He keeps his audience laughing most of the time, and while they are in good humor, takes occasion to drive home some of the great truths of Art. His Art work on the platform is remarkable.
WATERLOO COURIER. —J. L.
Zwickey is a man of high attainments, an artist of merit and a man whom we de¬light to honor. His work breathes a high moral spirit and emphasizes that to see beauty one must carry beauty in the soul.
CEDAR RAPIDS GAZETTE.-Mr. Zwickey drew one of the largest audiences of the Chautauqua. His work is extremely interesting and his pictures were made with almost lightning rapidity. He produced in the minds of his hearers a deeper and more sincere admiration for nature and the artistic things of life.
TOREK A STATE JOURNAL.—
The evening lecture was a surprise. Few understood that the lecture was to be illustrated by drawings and all were de¬lighted. His lecture contained much hu¬mor, but was also full of sound sense concerning Art as it applies to our mod¬ern civilization.
NEWS, Paris, Texas.—At one o'clock Mr. Zwickey delivered his lecture on the "Philosophy of the Beautiful." The artist is a most brilliant talker as well as being clever in his work.
HERALD, Rogersville, Term.— Mr. Zwickey's entertainment was a series of surprises, his work at times seeming almost miraculous. He is a man of splendid culture and a fine aesthetic nature, and has achieved much success in a literary way.
