DuBose Heyward's Lecture Drew Packed House, Jan. 31, 1924

DuBose Heyward’s Lecture

DuBose Heyward, the South Carolina poet, gave a lecture and reading in Gerrard Hall Monday night. There wasn’t an empty seat in the hall. The part of the entertainment that the auditorium enjoyed most was the reading of Mr. Heyward’s own poems, notably “Gamesters All” and “The Mountain Girl.” Mr. Heyward’s bride came along with him, and they stayed at the Kluttz home. They were entertained at the President’s House at luncheon Monday, and at dinner at the Hibbards’ that night.
