Wednesday Evening Club 
Meets in Chapel Next Week. 
The March meeting of the Wednes- 
day Evening club, Manchester, will be 
held in the Chapel next Wednesday 
evening, at which time the members 
will be given a rare treat. 
Miss Ellen Van Volkenburg of De- 
troit, who is attracting such wide atten- 
tion in her imitative interpretations of 
modern plays, and who has appeared in 
all the large cities in New England prior 
to making her debut on the public stage 
next season, will be the attraction. It 
was only by rarest chance that Miss 
Volkenburg was procured yesterday, 
when it was found that part of the talent 
the committee had arranged for could 
not appear next week. 
Last Monday Miss Volkenburg ap- 
peared in Boston, and the ‘Tuesday 
morning Journal devoted much space to 
her performance. Among other things 
the Journal said: 
““TIn one of the halls in the Pierce 
Building a young woman of 23 went 
through a performance yesterday upon 
which the eyes of psychologists the world 
over are turned. For Miss Ellen Van 
Volkenburg possesses the almost weird 
ability of being able, having heard a play 
just once, to produce it all in detail. 
Yesterday in this fashion she gave 
* Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire,’ word for word 
from beginning to end. 
“If Miss Van Volkenburg were tohave 
learned by long hours of labor and nights 
devoid of ease the performance which 
she gave, her performance would be _ re- 
markable enough, for without having 
had any elocutionary training, she is 
able to reproduce the nine characters of 
the play with every tone and mannerism 
and characteristic of the artists. 
‘“ She came out on an absolutely bare 
stage and immediately, by the force of 
her explanations, produced the scenery. 
As she stood there in her modish white 
net gown with a bunch of violets tucked 
at her waist, looking just like an ordinary 
college girl, it was difficult to realize 
that she was a phenomenon which the 
psychologists of two worlds are studying. 
The only outwardly peculiar thing about 
her wasthe inward turn of her eyes, 
which is often seen in persons who are 
recalling some experience in difficult de- 
tale 
The committee announce that the
