keokuk's Talented Singer Of Old
Negro and Plantation Melodies
Scores Highly at the
Little Theatre
ARE CALLED AMERICAN
Critic Considers Negro Melodies More
Truly American Than Any 9th
er Music Which We
"a Have.

Mrs. Collingwood Tucker who is
appearing at tbs Little theatre at
Chicago, was given highly compli-
mentary notice yesterday by the CHI
cago Tribune In its special columns.
The critic has taken into considera-
ton the limitations in the music and
praises Mrs. Tucker for her interpre-
tation Of the old songs, as we'll as for
her bits of character study which she
has interjscted into her music.
The following concerning this gift
ed Keokuk woman is reprinted from
the Chicago Tribune:
"A program of negro folk songs was
offered last night in the Little theater
by Mrs. Collingwood Tucker, who pre-
sents these primitive melodies as
examples of music produced without
conscious conformance to the canons
of the art, as the expressions of con-
ditions that exist only in America. In
this sense the songs of the negro ara
more truly American than the many
limitations of them that have. found
their way into musical comedy and
comic opera, for thsy are spontaneous
expressions OF emotion and sensibility
that reflect the spiritual and social
life of race, whereas their degraded
derivatives are the conscious and call
culated expression Of the trivial and
the superficial.
- of hxs
Tucker last night are as beautiful in
spirit, at least, as any that belong to
the more advanced races. One, a
primitive "Crucifixus,' was especially
rich in this quality. but the negro
folk tunes never develop those struc.
tural qualities that make both for
unity and for variety and that are SO
pronouncedly Characteristic of French,
Scot and Irish folk music. Perhaps
| the nearest European equivalent OF
negro melody is to be found in the
songs of the Russian peasant. who
seems to be intellectually and moral
ly, a little below the American negro
of slavery times.
Mrs. Tucker quoted Mr.. Krehbiel's
definition of the folk song which
places greatest value on the spontane-
Gus element and rel sgates all ques-
tions OF structure to tbs unconscious
operation of instinct. This is def
milton which applies only to negro
and Russian folk song. as Mr.. Kreh-
biz. probably knows. Such music can

CADILLAC ANNOUNCEMENT
CLEARS ATMOSPHERE

According to r. G.. Howard, sales
manager Of the Cadillac Motor Car
company, the recent announcement
that the company has no intention OF
marketing six-cylinder car has effec-
lively set at rest persistent and un-
founded rumors to the contrary. It
has cleared the atmosphere, in SO far
as regards the Cadillac company at
least, not only In manufacturing and
trade circles, but motor enthusiasts
and owners Of every degree. Aside
from the Importance of the announce
ment and the widespread general ef-
feet of such an announcement is
bound to have, the fact of great
manufacturer taking the public into
his confidence to the point OF outlin-
ing his policy is rare enough to
create much comment.
It is a long-established fact that
motor car owners by the thousand
look to see what the Cadillac en-
dorses and discards. To thsse own.
ers the Cadillac is accepted as a
standard, if not actually an IDEAL
and this impression, the company.
finds extends far beyond the circle
OF those who actually own and drive
Cadillac cars.
Since the company made its recent
announcement hundreds who had
been awaiting some word from an
authoritative source, have bought
Cadillacs. Through its dealers In
many parts of the country thu COM
pany has learned that prospective
buyers would not consider car Of
any type unless the Cadillac should
market it. 1t was largely in response
to such views that the recent an
nouncement was made, as well as to
quiet reports which had gained GER
tain amount of circulation and cred
ence.

We quote from another letter, dated
December 10, 1905: st praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November %,
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts, Pc
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintances
know that. am certainly thankful
to you for your Kindness"
In later letter. dated January 10,
1910, he says: Il shall ever in the
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. I believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter of September 8. 1911,
we quote a few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna, 1
do not feet that have words to eX-
press the faith I have in its merits.
I feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, of prolonging my life for
more than ten years" ,
We quote a still later letter. October
81, 1912. He says: 81 took a severe
cold three weeks ago. 1 at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two
weeks. I am now better. 1 consider
that Peruna has carried me over
dozen years of life. I always stand
ready to answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter, dated
January 2, 1913: 'Dear Friends: I
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine may prove a
blessing to many as it has to me, I

1t is not necessary for us to add
any words to tEis story. The elo-
quence and pathos of these letters
