NEAL O'HARA ENGAGED FOR UNION SPEECH WEDNESDAY

HAS WRITTEN FOR VAUDEVILLE AS WELL AS NEWSPAPERS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Not since last January, when F. P. Collier and E. E. Whiting '97 addressed the University, has a journalist been given the platform at the Union. Tomorrow night at 7.30 o'clock, the third journalist to speak in the Living Room of the Union, Mr. Neal O'Hara '15, of the Boston Herald-Traveler, will deliver a talk on humorists in the Living Room.

Mr. O'Hara, who is nationally known as a humorist, contributes daily a column in the Boston Traveler. His subject tomorrow night has been announced by the Union management as "Humorists, and How They Get That Way."

Mr. O'Hara was a member of the University graduating with the class of 1915. During the war, Mr. O'Hara served in the Ordinance Department of the United States Army. He held the rank of second lieutenant. Since his graduation from the University, Neal O'Hara has written for the stage, chiefly for vaudeville, but it is in the daily papers that his humor has appeared most frequently.

His column in the Traveler is one of the most widely read and well known of all newspaper columns. In last Sunday's issue he wrote to the effect that "football must be a wonderful sport if Harvard can make $250,000 on that team."
