III OR the past -four years the world
has been looking especially to
America. We clothed and fed
our neighbors. We fought for them
and in their sorrow we tried to enter
tain them-playing and dancing and
singing for them. America afforded
an open door of opportunity for many
foreign artists-among them CALI
Curci.
Our magnanimous spirit has put us
in the front rank of the world and to-
day America stands out as a shining
light From the fact others were gaz-
ing at US we ceased discounting our
selves and began to turn our eyes in
ward. We realize as never before Am
ericas artistic possibilities. Anna
Case has shown students of voice it is
no longer necessary to sail off to gay
Pare or Berlin to become a finished
singer America can do it! There has
really been such a musical programme
as one Entirely American" May we
have more of them. We love America
and things American more today than
ever in our history.
Our clubs of Birmingham are ex-
pressing this natal love in their pro-
grammes for the year. Almost without
an exception we are studying some
phase of our beloved country "Ameri-

The same colors were selected by
the bride for the costumes of her at

of his daring and ingenuity, is Clifton

However, he is unaware of the business

 We left her at the subway station and Crittenden and I caught ou,' train home. It was long, silent ride and thought with dread several times that perhaps our playhouse had fallen down. Marjorie always disturbed Crittenden and the conJ trast between her and myself was so great that l frequently felt a jealous impulse come over me when ever I saw her.
 When we got into our home how ever, Crittenden suddenly stopped and gathered me in his arms. knew that if there had been a battle I had won. There was peace in the home again, and I was happy.
