Hannibal A Williams Recital of Julius Caesar
Hannibal A Williams gave a Shakespeare recital at the Methodist Church on Tuesday evening. Despite a cold and hoarseness he delivered with musical voice and clear enunciation. His introduction was a refined piece of composition and his critical thread helped illuminate historical points and characters. He deserves encouragement for popularizing Shakespeare and English literature.
