Humorous Lecture

Captain Bairnsfather is England's famous humorous lecturer and cartoonist. He will deliver a lecturer in the main living room and also draw charcoal sketches of his comic strip characters. Russell has attained great fame in Ireland as a poet, painter, and economist. The subject of his speech is not yet known, but it is believed he will talk on the advantages of rural life, and returning "back to the farm", as he has been making speeches all over the country on this subject.

Blake and Lake will tell about their expedition in Asia Minor, where they made a number of plaster casts of historical objects.
