Boy Who Was at Camp
Greene 11 Months Here on
Mobile-Boston Trip.
Harry Louder with his famou3 zig
zag stick, , his Scotch dialect and bis
sense of humop-appeared at the Ivey
dining room Wednesday and gave an
impromptu entertainment. Just a mo
ment! It was not actually Harry
Lauder, of course, but it was Bruce
Chapman, the cleverest impersonator
who ever came to Charlotte and. who re
turned to Charlotte with a feeling of
coming back home. For he spent
eleven months in the 39th infantry,
Fourth Division.
Mr. Chapman is singing1 and im
personating his way across country
from Mobile, Ala., to his home in Bos
ton. He is so clever at impersonating
the famous Scotch comedian that the
closest observers wonder how he does
it. AVith his costume and crooked
stick he is almost a replica of the fa
mous comedian.
Mr. Chapman was all excitement
when he arrived in Charlotte Tuesday
night from Spartanburg, S. C. He
. had not seen the place since he left
I here in the spring of 1918 for Camp
Merritt, X. J., while he was in mili
tary service. He instantly recogniz
ed Tuesday night and Wednesday a
number of people and spoke to them.
Because of the fame he has gained
in recent months as an impersonator of
Harry Lauder and his own ability as
a singer, Mr. Chapman was engaged
Wednesday morning to sing Jiere next
week for a big organization at a
luncheon and has been engaged for the
Imperial theater the balance of this
week. He will, also accompany a
group of Charlotte merchants to States
ville Wednesday night to sing before
the annual meeting of the Statesville
Merchants association.
Mr. Chapman was formerly on the
stage and is a born actor and imitator.
ms singing or me oia scotch song,
"Dcch and Doris," made famous by
Harry Lauder, is said to be as good as
the comedian himself could do, even
including "the burr" of the Scotch dia
lect. He always goes to a store car
rying Victor talking machines and went
to Ivey's music .department, where he
was "discovered" and signed up for
the several events here. He has ac
quired a healthy tan from hiking un- I
aer tne boutnern sun but says it's
fine.
Charlotte locks very much as it did
when he arrived here with the 39th in
fantry for Camp Greene, Mr. Chapman
said, except that he saw many new
buildings. He seemed immensely
pleased to be back in Charlotte and
said there were lots of folks here he
! wants to look up.

A DISTINGUISHED PREACHER
of the Methodist Church, a. teacher of my early . years, told me "to aim high

have, but they CAN and SHOULD be mounted by you. Your opportunities
today are far greater than;were ours in the long ago.
THE MUTUAL B. & L.
is a potent means to success and honorable manhood, and with all my mind and
heart I urge you to use it, for, as the clouds gather and you dispel them, as
troubles come and you overcome them, I know from long observation and
experience that then you will appreciate the advice here given in simple
truth and -in all sincerity.
