Neff continued, "and of course the ex- perience was wonderful for him. He returned with the Presidents party and has only two weeks ago been dis charged from the navy.
 "Of course. when things are quite normal again." Miss Neff said, MT. DoIejsi and myself will get back to our old time work, but in the meantime must say that am enjoying my vaude- vile tour tremendously. It is such care-free life; no responsibility what soever, and so much appreciation shown all the time of my work. And what do you think? I never practice any more. Doesn't that sound queer com- ing from me, who hammered and thumped away hours and hours every day at the piano? Of course, there's reason; I get sufficient practice the three times day that I appear on the stage; the rest of the time I'm either travelling or resting.
 The work has been a complete reve- lation to me-" Miss Neff said "In the first place, I never before understood vaudeville audience. Of course, very few musicians who have devoted their life to the study of music and to teach ing and concertizing as I have ever go on the vaudeville stage, and in conse- quence my audiences receive my work with a great deal of appreciation. They always call for more, and it has made me see that the general public really loves good music; there was always a question of that in my mind be- fore. In days gone by whenever I ap-

MRS. COBB READS IN FLORIDA

The following notice, which ap- peared in a recent issue of the Bay County (Fla) Beacon-Tribune, will be of interest to the friends of MT. and Mrs. Roswell H. Cobb in BirminS- ham:
 "A large number of our citizens went to Oakland cemetery last Sunday aft ernoon to witness the unveiling of the monument which has been erected to the memory of Sovereign Charles M. Wallace, who died March 1, 1918. The ceremonies were in charge of Panama camp No. 406, Woodmen of the World, of Panama City.
 Besides the beautiful ritualistic ceremonies of the strong fraternal or der, and which were performed in a very impressive manner, much was added through the kindness and cour. tesy of that talented lady, Mrs. Ros- we'll Howell Cobb of Birmingham, Ala, who, with her husband, are guests at the Panama hotel. Mrs. Cobb's su- perb reading enhanced the beauty and pathos of William Knox's immortal poem, oh. Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud""

MISS PRUDENCE NEFF

lE ROM concerting with superb pro-
 G' srammes made Up of the classics
 from the three "B's," Bach, Bee
 thoven and Brahms, to vaudeville, with
 popular musical medleys characterized
 by the three "Ds," "Dash, Daring and
 Dazzling" calls for versatility, we must
 admit
 That Miss Prudence Neff, whom all
 Birmingham loves and admres, has ac-
 complished this marvellous feat, cannot
 be denied by the hundreds of people who have heard her beautiful work over
 at the Biiou.
 It seems odd to be writing of Miss
 Neff as a vaudeville artiste; always be- fore when I've "storied" about her we've
 talked about ''high brow" things, and
 classical music, but now behold us chat
 ting gaily about light. airy things that "get over the footlights" before
 audiences who don't want to think or
 study but who go to the theatre to be entertained
 And Miss Neff understands the art of entertaining, too; she is clever enough to know what to give on popular programme-just enough of the classi- cal to be enjoyable-just enough of light music to be popular
 The war is responsible for .vaude- Vile career" Miss Neff told me we chatted about this evolution in her work. "The concert stage was practi- cally broken up; artists were called from every quarter of the globe to en- list in the army and navy and my hus- band, MT Robert Dolejsi, was among 1 the first to go into the navy. Of course, that meant for us to be separated for many, many months and as our work was done together, I began to look about for something that would be agreeable as well as lucrative. As I said, concerting was impossible, and 1 so the splendid offer came to me to go | into vaudeville and of course I accept ed 1t. Tn the meantime" Miss Neff said, MT. "Dolejs, who was concert-me eister for very beautiful orchestra in Chi cago, where we were living after he went into the navy was chosen for a quintet, known as "The Great Lakes Concert Quintet and when President Wilson made his first trip to France this Quintet was chosen to accompany him on the George Washington.

peared in concert work I was always yassured of an audience made up of mu- scians; people who were critical and well informed on musical matters; l knew that the slightest inaccuracy or discrepancy in my technique, phras- ing or interpretation would be enough to blast my career; and it was an eX- cellent experience for me; now l feel that I have more lenient critics and, of course, that puts me on my metal, because it is up to me to make or mar my programme as well as my reputa- tion as musician with my audience.

 Mrs. Munger, in discussing the old clothes drive, said:
 'The problem of clothing the almost naked refugees that are pouring back to devasted homes in the allied coun- tries is of such magnitude that only the United States can solve it. Accordingly, the week of March A-31 has been set aside by the American Red Cross For the purpose of collecting 10000 tons of used clothing, shoes and blankets for these unfortunate people. It seems hard to imagine any sort of apparel that would not prove useful to refugees, and almost any kind is a Godsend, but there are some articles that won't do.
