SCORES DECIDED CHIT"
Miss Leona Nichols, of Burlington,
Leaves Tonight - Hundreds of
Charmed Auditors Hear Her.

Miss Leona Nichols, of Burlington,
| Leaves Tonight - Hundreds of
Charmed Auditors Hear Her.
Yesterday afternoon and evening the
Eadie Music Company's big wareroom
was packed to it's utmost capacity by
the hundreds of Marshalltown music
Loving people, who crowded in to hear
Miss Leona Nichols, of Burlington,
Iowa, in a song recital. To say Miss
Nichols scored decided "hit'' with her
Marshalltown auditors is placing it
mildly, for she was recalled again and
again after each of her principal num-
bers and responded most cheerfully to
the opportunities of her listeners.
One striking feature of Miss Nichols
singing is the fact that her auditors can
understand distinctly every word Of her
songs, which is a pleasant relief after
having heard so many vocalists whose
articulation is bad. Her voice is a
strong, we'll modulated mezzo-s soprano,
with a range of three octaves, showing
careful study and the best method of
training. Neither Is her voice of one
quality only which is so common
among singers. Mastery of the singers
technique, realistic depicting of the
emotions, dramatic fire, correct inter-
probation and soulful phrasing, compile
mented by sweet, resonant voice, an
individual style and a pleasing, inter-
esting face are all striking features of
her art, the tout ensemble of which
places her in the foremost rank of the
most brilliant singers who have visited
our city, and Miss Nichols Marshall-
town admirers will ever look eagerly
forward for her return.

For about a half hour, Tuesday even
Ing, the union station was in darkness
The filling of the gas mains with water
reduced the supply of the illumination
so materially that it was impossible
to get even the least spark of flame
from the numerous Jets. Tickets were
sold for time by the light afforded
by matches: passengers CROPPED their
way thru the waiting rooms to find
seats; bagga gemen hunted up lanterns
and were able to get ready for incoming
trains with much difficulty. In the
lunch room the situation threatened
to be the most serious. Passengers
awaiting trains had ordered suppers
when the gas feeding the stove gave
out, also that under the coffee urn. 1t
was a case of water and toothpicks for
a time, until the trouble was rem
edied.
