Time 17. Using a few stercopticon [sic] slides and charts, Henson briefly outlines the trip to and from the North Pole. Henson is not a god speaker and he was apparently frightened most of the times he was working this afternoon. His habit of hesitation and uncertainty became unpleasant. It seems, too, that he might easily have selected more interesting topics to speak of. His work consists of the briefest outline of the trip and does not contain a single incident of experiences. In spite of these faults, he held the attention of his audience well, and was rewarded with generous applause. In my opinion, the man and what he might offer have great drawing possibilities. The act should be thoroughly overhauled and gingered up.
