The Opportunity of a life-time at Your Door for Three Day Seise It Col. Walter Richmond Henry's Re call to Concord with his now famous collection of fae-simile reproductions of the greatest art works of the Euro pean and American galleries, marks an epoch in the educational, histori cal, literary and artistic life of the city. The citizens of Concord will remem ber the first presentation here of his wonderful exhibition ; the crowds that crowded to see it, as well as the great endorsement given it in the press, by that ripe scholar and orator, Kev. Plato Durham. Since that time many splendid additions have been made to this collection. ' , One of the greatest lecture bureaus of the country, ia now . negotiating with Col. Henry, to secure his lectures and exhibitions for the Chautauquas of the South and Southwest. Ex- president Battle, of the University of North Carolina, now Professor of His tory in that institution, declared that CoL Henry's work, would teach more bitsory in a few minutes than could possibly be learned in any other way. Then every white child in Coneord should be given the opportunity by its parents of seeing Col. Henry's exhi bitions, three daily nine in all- many changes of program to see the whole collection see every exhibition, thus obtaining not only a view of the world-famous beauties of Art, - but learning history and the progress of civilization. -' - - Dr. Johnson, president of Winthrop College, after the presentation of this collection at that place, declared that it ougnt to be seen in every educa tional center and institution in the land. Mr. O. L. Powers, -of High Point, said: "Mr. Henry baa brought the Art Treasures of the World to our door, and it would be a reflection on one's culture to miss these exhibitions. The religious painting are spiritual feasts, and parents especially ahould see to it, that their children enjoy this educational opportunity." ,Th Charlotte Observer. Nov. 12th. 1910, said: "Henry's picture baffle description. The coloring is most ex quisite and each detail stands out as plainly upon the canvass a it does in the original. The beauty of the pictures was vastly, enhanced by the comment, which accompanied them. The orator's knowledge of history made him at home in every age and clime." , - Pastime Photoplay- Theatre, Admission, popular price:- 20c Children 10c. , - QUAXE COST L000 LIVES.
