THE COMBAT"

Anita Stewart in THE Combat at
the Rialto today clearly shows that
she is pre-eminent as an actress of
exceptional ability in emotional roles
In THE Combat" she takes the part
of a school girl, debutante, clipping
lover, wife of a western mine pros
pector, the wife of a great man whom
she does not love, and finally an
accused murderess. In all of these
parts she is perfect The question of
a loveless marriage forced upon a
woman who thinks her first husband is
dead and afterwards finds that he is
living, makes the play one of the
strongest. The course of life which
is depicted by Miss Stewart in very
difficult role is true to life and not
in the least overdrawn. Her second
husband in the play rises to the gov
ernorship, but with all his love and
wealth she despises him and loves the
man she first married. The lesson
drawn from this play is a powerful
sermon and is worth the time of any
one to see it.

plneranr narts of the Voice.

There are many names used to de-
scribe the different parts of the hu-
man voice, and consequently much
confusion often exists among vocal
5tuoents. Some people talk glibly
about chest, throat head, medium,
mixed, etc, with only II very ''nlXed"
idea of their meaning. We may say
at once, that all vocal sound is pro
duced in the larynX, and the various
terms used are efforts to describe the
different tones of the voice. Low
notes sound as if they come from the
chest, or abdomen. High notes fec.
as If they We're produced in the head
Broadly speaking the full open tones
are generally called chest notes, und
the upper tones are described as head
notes. The middle C on the pianofort,
or the organ, with eight feet stops
sounding, correspond to the high c OF
.he basses and the low G of the trebles
according to notation.

The translation of Father Nathan

the family home, 1146 South Cherokee

of the most picturesque and interest
ing characters of the city. He was
born in Wilmington, Ohio, July 23,
1899, converted at the age of ~ years
and licensed to preach at the age of
twenty. Forty-four years ago he mar.
ried Miss Mary F. jenkins in Mt.
Vernon, Ohio, and from this union six
children were born, all of whom sur

of these is Rev. H. Franklin Bray, d.
D., who at one time served as pastor
of Campbell A. M E. church, this city,
and who in recent years has done
splendid work in the evangelical field.
Father Bray lived out his three score
and ten years, and because of his deep
piety and ardent devotion to his
Savior, God added seven more years
to his life, permitting him to die at
seventy-seven years of age. More than
half century of his life was spent
in the Christian ministry, largely in
