Excerpt from Comic Recitations and Readings

It is a common saying that the reader or speaker who can draw both smiles and tears from his audience is one to be envied. If you would awaken emotions in the hearts of your hearers you must have recitations suited to the purpose. It is equally important that you enter fully into the spirit of each selection. Do not deliver a humorous selection in a cold, unfeeling manner. If you feel the words you are uttering by subtle influence you cannot fail to move those who hear you. Give reality to all the emotions your words aim to express and your efforts will not be unavailing.

The publishers have the fullest assurance that in the publication of Comic Recitations and Readings the demand for short, pithy, spicy, racy humor is amply supplied. A greater variety of choice recitations is contained in this book than in any similar compilation now on the market.
