Amusing Adventures of a Lyceumite in Danvers Illinois
A lyceum entertainer recalls a misadventure filled day traveling to Danvers Illinois near Bloomington. Delayed trains and a broken interurban delayed arrival to perform by 10 PM. Lights failed during the show and a late supper led to a tense pursuit by a man with a revolver. He retreats as he fears a stickup, then checks into a hotel with a notorious willow bark cure clientele. The piece ends with a notice: the Davis County Sunday School convention for Bloomfield on April 10, with a 4 PM start and 6:30 supper.
