London ((.)N1.) Kkrk Prkss said of Mr. Belfoid'.s laal Kecital here a year ago:— "Mr. Ik'lford fairly took ilir aii.lience by storm. Ft-w were prcparcl to discover the towering dramatic ability .ind elocutionary aocompiishmenis which he displayed last night lor the tkst tnne heio. His [tower of recital is, «n one word, grand. He seemed t-. hold hi^ audience i>ell bound by the combmation of great magnetic force, perfect and graceful action, and masterly articulation. lie never refers to a lx)ok, but seems to have studied hs parts like a thorough actor, present ing them to the audience as finished work, of the nu)st conscientious elocutionary art. Nothing so good of the kind has been heard here for many a year. ToKONTo Maii, : "Mr. (.eurge Iklforii, of Umdon, Kngland. who has a reputation on the other side of the .Xtlantic (flwing an elocutionist of considerable merit, appeared for the Jii:-'. time last evening before a Toronto audience. For three hours Mr. lielfoid entertained the audience entirely unasisted, at one time holding them :>pell bound by vivid narration, and at another convulsing them with laughter by his droll recitations or clevci mimicry. Kvery number on the progiamme was ecpially well rendered, and each time Mr. l{el(or a genuine sense of hunu.r and a strong perception of the pathetic, large ilramalic ability, ami a wonderful capacity for interpreting the tragic, so that during an evening's entertainment he is enaliled to appeal to varied tastes, and to excite varied emotions. As an entertainer he stands in the first rank, and of his talents it is almost impossible to say to much." TokoMo (.i.oiiE :- "Mr. Helford is tnll, with fair hair, ai\ Knglisli cast offc.i- tures, and a very refined manner. He uses no books or notes, but recites entirely from memory. He has a voice of considerable j>ower, which he uses with discretion, and his action is particularly graceful '' Hamilton- Spbci ator :— " ' The Midnight l harge at Kas.sa.ssin 'was recited in a style so full of fire aid dramatic intensity that the audience was thrilled by it-- stirring lines." Uelleville iNTEtl-HiENXER :—" The scene from Richard HI in which the unhappy Duke of Clarence relates hi> terrible dream, kept his audience spell-bound. CoHOfKii WoKl.u : — " It is doubtful if any elocutionist ever furni-shed two such charming literary evenings to a Cobourg audience as did Mr. Ijeorge Belford on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week He is an accomplished Knglish gentleman, possessing a voice of remarkable flexibility and silvery richness of tone. .\11 h\^ selections were enthusiastically received, His return at an early date will be heartily welcomed by all who had the privilege of hearing him." Ottawa Fkkk 1'kess. "Mr. Belford is an accomplished speaker ; he pos- sesses a powerful, pleasing, and well trained voice, combined with great facial itexi bility. He keeps the audience thoroughly en rapport with hinjself. and carries them from grave to gay, from the Viurlescpie to ihe pathetic, in a way which probably n'> other elocutionist could accomplish."
