John Mccormack Sings His Songs
So People Can Understand Them

"The way to sing to English speak
ing people is in the language they un-
derstand," writes Lynn Wilson, one
of the best known newspaper men in
the state of Connecticut, in a recent
editorial tribute to John Mccormack,
the celebrated tenor, who will be
heard at the Auditorium Tuesday
evening, .Ianury %, as the fourth num-
Der of the Retailers Course.
Most of the great singers have
chosen to sing most of their songs
| in foreign tongues, and the audience
has expressed an enthusiaum it was
far from feeling, while scanty attend
ance has indicated the real lack of
popular interest. How different it is
with John Mccormack. the first
really great singer who has deigned
to sing in the English tongue There
are no cold audiences when McCor-
mack appears. There are no empty
houses when his voice is heard. His
audiences are not composed of few
exclusive persons devoted to an art
that is not and never can be national.
There come into the Mccormack au-
diences all the really cultured men
and women of the community, who
listen spellbound while great ar
tist sings great songs which they can
understand.
Art is but a means of delineating
and initiating truth. 1t is means OF
conveying high thoughts from one
mind to another. To convey such
thought it is necessary that me-
dunn of conveyance shall exist. So it
that great literature in the French
tongue will not be great literature to
him who does not understand French.
Nor can great songs be sung to those
who understand only the English
language, so that they will under
stand, save in English.
John Mccormack is entitled to this
fair need OF praise. He has done for

did for literature in England. That
this should be so is the more to his
credit, for his training was purely
classical, and he was submitted to
that rigorous culture which has made
every great singer in America, be-
fore his time so far as the art of song
was concerned, a foreigner McCor-
mack's Italian is perfect in pronunci-

Were we to describe single one of these collars in detail there would be "calls" almost as soon as the store opened in the morning. And as there are few duplicates in the neckwear store it wouldn't be safe to create desire for any one par ticu1ar collar.
 So we will group them. The soc col lars are of white Georgette crepe, with pretty pink and blue borders. One number particularly pretty with lace insert between border and collar proper. The Khaki Kool collars, natural color, are rich and simple with hemstitching and tucks. They are among the newest in the neckwear store and range from 1.25 to 1.s5. A very pretty novelty is displayed in square cut sailor collar, made of LaJerz Khaki Kool cloth, in the brightest spring colors. These, too, are 1.95. (Maln Floor)
