The Washington herald., 1919-01-12

Mr. Llneback complied with the re-
quest of the audience and sang
Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep.
Altogether IL was beautifully rendered
and the audience thoroughly appre-
ciated it. The regular program con-
sisted of Pack Up Your Troubles,
annie Laurie" Sunshine of Your
Smile" Bring Back My Bonnie to
Me" and Garry Me Back to Ole Ntr-
ginny." The one regret in connection
with the singing is that the half hour
has only thirty minutes. The singing
and the enthusiasm and the intermin-
Cling one with another all have
tendency to make us feel good for our
afternoons work, and the wish has
been expressed more than once that
We might have more than thirty min
utes for lunch and singing.

had to pass this ma gic button, but he
was overcome 10y a desire to start
