PRAYER ON SHIP
TOLD WARS END
Former Business High Stu
dent Writes of Celebra-
ton of Armistice.

Celebration of the signing of the
armistice on board a naval convoy
ship, as described by former Busi-
ness High School athlete, forms a
vivid contrast to the noisy merry
making which held sway in Wash
inEton on the same day.
"On November H." wrote the
young sailor. in a letter to. his
former teacher. while we were two
days out, on the way home, general
quarters sounded; we fell in on the
quarter deck. The captain said
Men, let's bow our heads and thank
God that it's all over. We well
knew what that meant.
He prayed for about five min
utes and when he was through,
every man from the skipper to the
lowest apprentice was in tears. The
shippers prayer sank down deep
into our hearts. In conclusion he
said. You have done your duty and
proven yourselves real men, On
our ship most of us stayed up all
night watching the beautiful moon
and thinking of the happy days
awaiting us at home"

.SoNCBIRD WINS
RECITAL PRAISE
Amelita GalliCurci Gives
Program Of Exceeding
Charm.

Amelita Galli-Curci yesterday af-
ternoon bowed to the largest recital
throng seen in the National Theater
this season.
The soprano gave program of ex-
ceeding charm, quickly winning the
audience. For her second and third
songs, Horns "I've Been1 Roaming
and Charpentiers "Depuis lie Jour,
from Louise" Nine GaIli-Curci was
recalled eight times, four for each
song.
But she smiliugly declined the in
sistent encore until after singing Ben
edict's Carnival di Venezia-" Into
this number the artist seemed 10
throw all of her wondrous talent
and as she dropped to the final note
from the striking climax there was
spontaneous outburst which virtu-
ally forced her to respond with an
extra number.
Effective in simplicity.
For the encore she sang Drink
to Ne Only With Thine Eyes" scor-
ing effectively with its beautiful sim
plicity as contrssted with the dazzling
intricacy of the carnival song. In
Benedicts composition, Galli-Curci
seemed to completely exhibit her
voice with successful jugglery OF
notes and control OF breath.
The fourth number. a group of
four. contained two songs composed
by Nine. Galli-Curcfs accompa mist,
Homer Samuels. These songs, &c r
den Thoughts" and when Ch iris
Sleeps" were well executed and Mr..
Samuels arose several times in re-
sponse to the applause. The third
of the group was Leonis The
Brownies" and the last an old Nor
wegian Echo Song" which was
well given, causing the second en-
core, a lullaby by Cyril Scott that
for pure beauty in tone painting
ranks high among songs of this
kind.
Appinsdcd Time and Again.
The fifth number. "Pastourelles
and Bergerettes of the Eighteenth
Century" arranged by Weckerlin,
was probably the most delightful OF
the program and Galli-Curci was
applauded time and again. The
songs. "Estellc." Belle Manon." 20

dinner cigar-whch teach a man how
to become a Napoleon of finance.
"YOu can't learn to be Napoleon
of finance or anything else so easily"
he said. "These courses remind me of
the man who brought his son to the
school of mines and grOwled:
81 want you to learn this here boy
to be an expert minin' engineer. but
look a-here-I don't want him to waste
his time over lot of book nonsense
about strata and denudations. and
don't bother him with minerology and
crystals, neither. What l want him to
learn is how to find gold and silver and
copper in payin Quantities-payin'
quantities, mind you-and I'll call for
him and put him in to work Monday q
week."
