However familiar you may be with the work of Ned Woodman in the newspapers, humorous publications and trade periodicals of the country, you know little about him until you have seen and heard him as an entertainer.
Woodman's humor is of such a character that the printing press can only show you a small part of it. You could listen to his remarks, stories, dialect readings and verses even if you were blindfolded, and be highly entertained; but you'd better use your eyes, because his "lectures" are built around those big crayon pictures which he draws for you while you are listening to him.
Some of these pictures are pretty, others are irresistibly comical, and all are strong and spirited and have some sort of a point to them. Pleasant and laughable surprises pervade his entire program—and yet you carry away something better than a mere memory of having been amused. Such words as "instructive and uplifting" are sometimes used in speaking of his work. He admits that he doesn't see just why, but he hopes he is not doing much harm.
See him and hear him—laugh and then think—and then laugh some more.
Ned Woodman will be the first attraction on the Edgefield lyceum program for this season, coming October 25.
