NEW COLUMBIA RECORDS.
They Are Proving . JOY to Lovers
of Music.

Hector Dufranne. the famous French
barytone. and Henri Scott. the eminent
American basso. are the two most re-
cent grand opera stars to capitulate
to the lure of the talking machine"
The first records by both these artists
are announced in the March list of new
Columbia records.
sparkling brilliancy is added to
the list by two popular numbers by
Bernice De Pasquali. who has sung the
spirited and ever-popular polonaise
from "Mignon" and the equally we'll
known Jewel Song from Faust"
In both cases the prima donna has
sung in English.
Josef Hofmann's pianoforte records
have proved not only a joy - many
musicians. but valuable aid to thou
sands of students all over the country.
and this month two favOrite classics
played by the famous pianist are Of
fered-Liszts well-known "Liebe-
straum' and the Chopin waltz in L
minor.
For those who have more music than
money in their make-up-and of such
are all true musicians-there is no lack
of grand opera at popular prices this
month.

In America a wife has a chance in a
mental combat with her husband Aud

The wife of an Oriental is practically
his slave. She must do as he wishes
and submit TO whatever he wishes. If ne
