Mrs. James Lyons will speak at the Art Club of Richmond this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, the subject of her talk "Shakespeare in Virginia." It is possibly known to comparatively few that Shakespeare's play, "The Tempest," embodies the story of the three ships that were sent out in 1607, one of which was shipwrecked on Virginia's shores, and has been a source of romance and story connected with the early history of the State. Mrs. John G. Munce will be chairman of the afternoon, and will introduce the speaker.

Dr. Metcalf will deliver an illustrated lecture on Shakespeare in the auditorium of the John Marshall High School this evening at 8:15 o'clock, under the auspices of the Richmond Education Association. The stereopticon slides, with which Professor Metcalf will illustrate his talk, are from the Art Institute of Chicago, and in colors. A number of the slides are made from the Boydell illustrations, taken for the most part from scenes in and around Stratford-on-Avon. The public is invited.
