SEARCH FOR VOICE OF SISTER.
Cherry Constellation Seeks Phono-
graph Record Of Sisters Song.

DES MONIES, April ia search
for the voice of the dead is the novel
undertaking of Addie and Effie Cherry,
who, with another sister, gained no
toriety from ocean to ocean by their
transforming concerts. These girls
and their sister Jessie toured the
United States giving entertainments
which fulfilled the term only in their
ridiculous efforts to sing and argu-
ments with the audience about the
showers of vegetables hurled at them.
They now have new goal.
Though the very mention of the trio
must bring smile to those VINO heard
them, yet there is a touch of pathos in
the search of the dead. Jessie died
two years ago at the Cherry home
near Marion, Ia. Her voice was one
which caused uproars of laughter be-
cause of it's coarseness and lack of
training. Yet it was sweet to her sis
ters. And these two sisters, who made
the famous tour, are searching for
phonograpn record of ner singing.
They have heard that at many
places records were made. Recently
they heard that man in Portsmouth,
O., had a record and tried to buy it..
He placed an exceptionally large price
upon it, thinking they would be en-
ticei to pay, but they refused his Of
