Excerpt from Elmo's Humorous Speaker: Uniform With "Elmo's Model Speaker," "Elmo's Children's Speaker," and "Two Thousand and Ten Choice Quotations" It is hardly needful to say that between the gen uinely humorous and the merely comic, there is awide and impassable gulf. Clowns and buffoons - whether professional or otherwise - revel in the comic and grow uproarious in the outrages of burlesque; but they would find the realms Of the humorous dull and uninviting.

Excerpt from Elmo's Model Speaker for Platform, School and Home: Arranged on an Entirely New Plan; Providing Programmes for Twelve Evening Entertainment Selections Suitable for Juvenile Gatherings, Brief Responses to Encores; Speeches for Weddings, Presentations, Farewells and Welcomes The following pages have been compiled with a view of providing speakers and readers with a well-tested selection Of pieces suitable for platform, school and home. Every selection in this volume has been tested by repeated readings before numerous audiences. Great care has been exercised in gathering from an enormous quantity of material only that which is best. Special attention has been paid to the arrange ment Of these pieces. The experience of twenty years Of public speaking and reading has suggested the necessity Of care in the arrangement Of the programmes. Many an even ing's entertainment has been utterly spoiled by injudiciously reading the right piece at the wrong time. Audiences are Often thought to be exceedingly capricious when in fact they are acting most naturally. It is not reasonable to expect that a company Of men and women who have just been con vulsed with laughter at some intensely humorous reading will be prepared without a moment's pause to listen appreciatingly to some story of pathos. The programmes Of this Model Speaker have been carefully arranged with a view to the best order Of subjects for an evening's entertainment, beginning generally with some historic or pastoral story, leading on to some pathetic strain, leaving the humor invariably to the end of the programme. The programmes are divided couve niently so that there are practically twenty-four programmes. Selections suitable for Juvenile Gatherings will be found at the end of the book, with a number Of brief pieces to be used as answers to encores. A series Of speeches appropriate for special occasions, and a list Of Themes suitable for essays or debate, close the volume. A detailed index to contents will render reference easy.
