soloist In the large moving pictures
there and later In New York was the
next step In his climb toward opera.
He made use OF his moving picture

Campanari, for years leading bari
tone In the Metropolitan Grand Opera
Company, and also studied with Orving
Meyer.
Late last summer when Mr.. Creatore
was forming his opera company, he

voice pleased him immensely. and when
he found out that young Evans knew
the roles. he was engaged on the spot.
Mr. Creatore predicts that his young

fellow. He Is true son OF the United

OF KANSAS STATE GUARD

Topeka, Sept 5.-The Kansas
state guard is being organized into
hattalions, thirty-nine of these units
already having been formed, and up
to September / thirty-six of the bat
talions had selected their majors
whose commissions have been oni-
cially made by Governor Capper, act
ing through the department OF the
adiutant general. The formation OF
battalions is being continued, the
plan being to group companies in the
same immediate vicinity into one OF
these units. There is no immediate
intention. according to Colonel Nor
ton. of the adjutant generals stan
to create regiments within the state
guard organization. Due to the local
character OF the guard companies
and battalions, the forming Of regi-
ments is not considered feasible at
this time.
Despite the continuous drain on the
state guard companies by the dralt
and the organization of the new ma
tionaI guard companies, the state
troop formations continue to grow.

274 companies of state guards In
