is lack OF agreement between these

that the other body is not entitled 10

Almost without exception government
operation has resulted in Inefficient
service and excessive cost.
"ln very few instances has the public
derived any benefit from such public
operation. The almost uniform result
has been poorer service and higher
cost. In addition. the political abuses
and dangers which are likely to result
from public ownership and operation
are most serious"

4 Big Difference

The difference between
recovered and re-upho.-
stored furniture is just
the difference between
solid worth and veneer.
We hesitate to just re-
cover but many times
when we re-upholster al
article it leaves our work
rooms better than new.
For instance, we received
a chair which had every
outer indication of being
a very high grade piece.
When we opened it up
we found but FIVE springs
and Z filling Of tow. This
accounted for It's losing
shape SO soon. We re-
fitted it with twelve
springs and a hair nlling
and returned it 10. a

Satisfaction
TO our patrons is one
thing our upholstery de-
partfnent is justly proud
OF, for during our years
OF service we have rarely
received a complaint.

PAUL RYMAN GIVES
PLEASING CONCERT

1t was again made evident Wedncs-
day evening that Memphis music lovers
are slow to lend encouragement to bud
ding genius n that few of them will
lend their presence unless the artist
has already won fame and recognition
elsewhere. The appearance Of Paul
Ryman, OF Nashville, in concert, as
sisted by our own Angelo Cortese, whose
ability is well and favorably known,
proved the truth of the above, only
a small audience greeted the singer,
who promises to develop into an artist
Of wide recognition, but who perhaps
has made the mistake OF thinking that
his talent VIII be acclaimed by home
folks and %neighbors as quickly as by
those who are entire strangers and
who consider only the merits Of his
work.
Mr. Ryman has a tenor voice Of un-
usual quality and, although not so
thoroughly trained and finished as It
might be. possesses the freshness that
certainly gives promise Of making Al
name for himself and in many of his
songs proved delightfully."- refreshing.
The voice has richness and velvety
qualities and its dramatic character
ia outstanding, Recognizing that his
talents lie in certain directions, he
does not attempt anything above that
Wnltl nt ls HDlf 10 no wen, DhllAuS
and lighter classics being his forte.
His program was pleasing and in
cluded numbers that were familiar and
acceptable TO the layman.
In his first group Handel's "Ah, Let
Me Weep, Lord" proved much better
than "Arioso' from PagliacCi, hut then
we have heard the latter sung 80 often
by big stars that an ordinary rendi-
ton Is p%rosaic. GIordani's "Caro Milo
Ben" proved a pleasing number. while
~Beethoven's Adelaide" afforded OPP
portunity for display Of some Of the
dramatic qualities OF his voice
In his final group S~Chubert's ave
Maria was well sung, while the ever
popular Celeste Aida was rendered
p%leasingly along conventional lines and
gave fresh display to other features
Of his talents, one Of which was clear
ness Of diction. Mr.. Ryman gave sew
eral encores IN esponse 10 enthusiastic
demands and they were much enjoyed
Angelo Cortese with his beautiful
harp gave new evidence Of what an
unusuaG artist he Is and added much
to the pleasure Of the concert, His
first group vas Hasselman's numbers
The Brook and March Militaire, 30
while in his second he won rapturous
appreciation. especially with Possitz's
Music Box" BY request he gave as
his final encore In the Garden"
Accompanying Mr.. Ryman was his
wife. who added to the excellence OF
his recital by her skill and sympathetit
playing. O. w.
