Mr. Gillilan, who spoke before the Sunday Evening club last season with telling success, is described as "neither 4 genius nor a marvel, nothing but a pertectly normal man who has done the best he could--which is is what uot one person of a thousand does." His earlier years fraught with difficul- ties, he gradually rose by dint of sheer labor and perseverance to the position where he is now found as contributor to scores of the leading periodicals in the country. "Normal Human" "There is nothing pessimistic, bitter, erotic or cynical about what Mr. Gilli- lan writes," states one critic of his works. "He aims, as he says, 'to put into constantly understandable lang- uage the sort of things the right kind of people think and feel" Human nor- mality has been the keynote of all he has written and said." "He is as dependable as a Rolls- Royce and as democratic as a 'fliver,"" comments another critic. "Every year he confides to the management that he is 'about to learn how to do this thing.' "No Need of Gloom" "One thing about him has never changed--his purpose to be funny without being silly, and to be deep without being dull. He has always be- lieved that serious things are not mournful things, that there is no need of fear and gloom in the world; that crises are to be faced, confessed, but not feared; that truth tickled into peo- ple stays there much longer than if it were sobbed into them. "In oratory, he holds that the only man who needs to yell and glare at an audience is one who doesn't know clearly enough what he is trying to tell them; that if you are really sure of a thing, you can tell it in easy words, with the directness and ease of con- versation. 'In my entire lyceum career I haven't sweat a quart ranting an au- dience," he says." Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.
