520			_a"Humorous Hits and How to Hold an Audience" by Grenville Kleiser is a collection of short selections, stories, and sketches that provides practical advice for entertaining and engaging an audience, written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a guide for speakers, elocutionists, and entertainers, offering insights into voice modulation, gesture, and storytelling techniques that can captivate listeners in various situations. The opening of the book sets the tone by explaining the author's extensive experience with public speaking and the desire to provide useful material for holding an audience's attention. Kleiser emphasizes the importance of preparation, effective voice use, and the power of story to make a memorable impact. He suggests that recitation of prose and poetry, combined with proper delivery techniques, can enhance public speaking skills and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their abilities on stage or in social settings.
