First One Thing and Then
Another:
When Opie Head iifted his
towering height and stately pres
ence upon the stage of the Acad
emy of Music Tuesday night, it
was with the statement thafcljae
was not there as an eloquent
speaker. His mission was that 1
of the story-teller, of the delin
eator of life in all of its shades
and gleams of light. ~ As such,
he would tell us some of the ex
periences gathered by the way
side, show us some of the moss
es caught as he passed through
the undergrowth. And he did.
For an hour and a half the hrge
audience listened with breath-!
less interest, while he dealt out J
anecdote, aphorism, wit, pathos, ♦
while he led them through .vays
strewn \)y the flowers jf his fan
cy, while he told them of love
gracious, jong-suffering; while
he pictured hate in all of its hide
ousness. Whether he was best
as he chained our irtterest while
he gave us "He was a Bron
son," when he told how Uncle
Mose outrtaJfced the conductor or
of how Lem Jucklin' saw Mans
field play Richard Brd, it would
be hard to say. In whatever
role, he was still the bom story
teller, the ruler of men's minds
while they sat under the glance
of his eye and listened to the
gtrains of that sonorous voice.
