STEAKS AT FORUM MEETING TONIGHT
_ ' _-M__
MR. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES II, who will be the speaker for
the first Forum discussion to be held at the Pinehurst Country Club
tonight. 4
DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
■ . John Temple Graves II, editor and publisher of Birmingham,
Alabama, is. tonight’s speaker in The Pinehurst Country Club for
the opening meeting of The Pinehurst Forum. The speech will
follow the buffet supper. ' -
Many years ago Scoreboard was a reporter on The Public
Ledger, Philadelphia and for a period had the Hotel beat. This
assignment included covering banquets at which easing and speech
making were indulged in heavily.
Having heard, during two years on the hotels assignment in
Philadelphia, all known types of orators, from Presidents of the
United States to managers of big league baseball teams, Scoreboard
claims to be a minor critic of after dinner speech making.
John Temple Graves II was among the speakers who appeared
in Philadelphia during the years which have passed. - He was one
of a very few speakers the hotel reporters preferred to an excellent
menu. I have even known of reporters electing to hear John Temple
Graves II at a “dry” banquet, >than some other speaker at a party
at which wine was to be served—free to the press.
Compared to this the following recommendations of the present
orator of the Graves family, as a speaker of merit, are not too
great praise. Scoreboard quotes from a few who have heard the
gentleman from Alabama, John Temple Graves II.
“A perfect speech!”—Dr. John Finley, Editor Emeritus, New
York Times.
“An interesting, beautiful and sympathetic address.”—Walter
.Hampden.
“Treats the English language like a lady of rank.”—Edwin
Bjorkman. \
“An earnest and gifted writer and brilliant orator.”—Clark
Howell,'Sr.
“Mr. Graves speaks for the enlightened4 South.”—Virginius
Dabney, Richmond times-Dispatch.
“Approaches a cross between Henry Grady and Walter Hines
Page.”—Birmingham News.
“One of the republic’s ablest editors and most brilliant speakers.”
—Fr. Wayne, Ind., News-Sentinel.
“A statesman, a philosopher and a gentleman of the South.”
—National Safety Council. \
“His appearance brought out more students than we nave ever
.seen assembled at anything short of a football game or general
chapel.”—Vanderbilt Alumnus.
“He has, in addition to his famous father’s felicitous command
of words, an eager and liberal grasp of regional and national affairs
which has made him one of the truly sought-after lecturers at a
time when people are crying for light.”—Atlanta Constitution.
