The Vicksburg Herald of Sunday
in its report of a recital at AL
Saints College contained the follow.
ing very complimentary mention Of
Miss Marjorie Davidson and Miss
Anna Maude Van Hoose, which
while very fattering is none-the-le less
deserved and is appreciated by their
friends here.
Miss Davidson's singing was q
delightful surprise to every one.
She displayed considerable courage
in selecting for her first number a
difficult song containing elaborate
coloratura passages but the audience
realized from the first note that
they were listening to no ordinary
vocalist but real artist. Her voice
is a lyric soprano of very pleasing
quality and wonderfully flexible;
and, while her technique is practi-
cally flawless. technique is COM
pletely forgotten in pure enjoyment
of the beauty of her tones. Espec-
tally appreciated was her interpre-
tation of the Aria 'Visi Dare from
La Tosca.' Though generous with
encOres, the audience remained un-
satisfied and the hope was expressed
that Miss Davidson would give a
recital before her return to WASH
ingtOn.
Miss Van Hoose opened the pro-
gramme with two Bach numbers
both novelties-and closed the eve-
ming with Moszcowski's Spanish
Caprice which she played in a tenn
pc that was fairly amazing. Tech
nical difficulties seem never to
worry her and this gift added to |
intense musical feeling produces a |
of efficiency and tenn
permanent that is very gratifying and
most unusual. AS an accompanist |
she was equally charming and much
II the credit is due her for the ef-
of the songs, because of
he sympathetic background she
gave the singer.

But If it shall fall out that we are mis-
taken in our present analysis of the situa-

treacherous Democrats, and the chica.
nesy OF the Progressive supporters of Mr..
Parker, who still are registered as Demo-

barret becomes the nominee, then we
shall b for Tom Baret, duly chosen
standard bearer of Democracy, till His
Satanic Majesty's regions freeze over.
Between Tom Barret, the Democrat,
and John Parker. the Progressive Repub-
lican, there could be no room for choice
with this newspaper or its publisher.
We are enlisted in this campaign to do
our level best to convince the Democrats
OF Louisiana that statewide prohibition is
unocmocratic, Is subversive of the sacred
principle Of home rnle, that eleventh.
