ALMA CHUCK, SOPRANO.
Will Appear in Slater Hall, Tuesday,
 Dec. 17, in Musical Course.

The first number in this seasons musical course in Slater Memorial hall will be a song recital by Alma Gluck the soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company, which will take place Tues day evening, Dec. IT. This will be the first appearance of this famous so- prano in Norwich and the manage ment feel that the local music lovers are fortunate in having an opportunity to hear this eminent artist.
 Nature has been most kind to Mime Gluck; she is dainty, petite, beautiful to look upon, with q lovely, even, sym pathetic voice and with her youth, tal- ent and musical feeling, combined with great intelligence, no limit can be placed on the height to which she may rise in her chosen profession
 Although. born in Bucharest, Rou- mania, Mime. Gluck is essentially American, as she came to this country at the age of six and most of her mu- Sical education was received here.
 The public knew very little of this young singer until one morning a few years ago, when. after making hel first appearance as Sophie in WertheI at the New theatre, she awoke to fin6 herself famous. Since that time she has sung in various operas with much success
 The following criticism, from the New York Evening Post will be of in. terest. Carnegie halls great audi. torium was well filled to hear this young soprano with the lovely voice and fast growing popularity. a pop. ularity that is well deserved, for sht is charming to hear and to see. Hel programme was an exacting one. I comprised 21 songs, sung in four Ian. guages and in varying moods-sun shine in Mozart pathos in Dupare ant Tchaikovskys beautiful legend"

BREED THEATRE.
The Ranchman's Anniversary, the Big
 Essanay Cowboy Feature.

On the splendid bill at the Breed there is one of those inimitable Es- sanay cowboy comedies, entitled The Ranchman's Anniversary. It is full of the rollicking, mischievous spirit of the boys, and in this case, they discover 1t is the wedding anniversary of their boss and they prepare to celebrate in the most approved western fashion. This they do. much to the chagrin of the parties most interested, and things are pretty lively most of the time to the big climax, which is undoubtedly a mirth provoker.
 The first pictures of the Balkan war appear at the Breed in the Pathe Weekly No. 4S. and show the great spirit of unrest in the territories where the scenes of activities lie. This DOT ton of the weekly was the recipient of concentrated attention yesterday, and proved very instructive picture. The Flower Girls Romance. a Kaiem story of the great caination fields of California, is indeed a beauty, and sways the audiences with its emotional story. while A Question of Age, the Pathe American comedy, keeps the house in murnnur of laughter during it's entire presentation.

THE USE OF FLOWERS.

God might have bade the earth ef4hSs
 forth
 Enough for great and small. The oak tree and the cedar tree, Without a flower at all We might have had enough, enough, For every want of ours, For luxury. medicine and toll, And yet have had no flowers. Then wherefore. wherefore. were they
 made,
 All dyed with rainbow-lioht, All fashion'd with supremest grace, Upspringlng day and night Springing in valleys green and low, And on the mountains hi~n. And in the silent wilderness Where no man passes by? Our outward life requires them not Then wherefore have they birth?- To minister delight to man, To beautify the earth; To comfort man-to whisper hope, Whene'er his faith is dim, For who so careth for the nowers Will care much more for Him.

What the Auditorium Is Offering Today

what the AuoIroriun IS O1eFin9 oday
 Not the best show that has ever played Norwich. or even the greatest acts in the business, are offered today, but three good acts which are all cap- able entertainers, and all combined make up a most pleasing program. The Lester trio, presenting the scream ing farce, The Bathroom Mystery, by Harry Usher, have an act that is con- structed for the sole purpose of mak- ing you laugh, and if they do this then they have succeeded in attaining the result they set out for, and if you don't laugh it is because your sense of humor has become dulled.
 The Little Melba Miss Madeleine Nash. has an artistic singing offering which shows her excellent voice to good advantage, without the use of rag" songs. A straight singing act that is meritorious.
 A merry melange of song, music and comedy Is offered in the speciality pre- sented by Harry and Laura Prampin, who feature Miss Laura Prampin, Americas greatest colored lady cornet soloist.
 Every Thursday Is Gaumont Weekly day, and issue No. 39 today will show twelve interesting items, chief among which are Thousands of Greeks Elm barking at Marseilles for the Front, Wonderful Horsemanship of the Ital- ian Cavalry, New Fashions in Colors from Paris, and many other views.

POETRY
SEAT OF TROUBLE

Take a day that's dark and dreary-- One of those when things go wrongs When you feel discouraged. weary. When you have no heart for song, When you fear that you are only A poor grain of dust, at best. When a cheerless, hopeless, lonely Feeling fingers in your breast
 Take a day like that and try
 To discover how and why Things have all turned out so badlyJ
 Analyze the ills you bear.
 Learn the seat of your despair.
 Maybe you will find that there Still is cause for striving gladly. Take a day when you are fretful. When the little cares annoy. When you nope around forgetful Of the blessings you enjoy, When you wish that you were lying Underneath the sod at peace, When the troubles you are trying To have freedom from increase
 Take a day like that and look
 For some quiet little nook, And there sit in contemplation;
 Think things over. analyze,
 You may find to your surprise
 That the trouble merely lies In your own imagination. -S. E. Riser, in the Chicago Record
