Birmi7qhdm's Musical Outlook

l N the history of Birmingham there
 has never been more brilliant pros e pect than the coming season presents when artists. orchestras and local musical efforts will be put forth not alone in quantity but quality
 During my recent visit to New York had the pleasure of visiting a number that big city. and I found without ex- ception that every one of them was in- terested in Birmingham's musical status and that they were pleased to hear of It's musical upbuiding and appreciation.
 The first question which I was asked by every one of the big concert managers was:
 When will Birmingham have that long looked-for auditorium?''
 My answer invariably was:
 When Bryan stops trying to run for President and when prohibition actually prohibits"
 However, I always added that our chances were better now than formerly, and that real light" was in sight for the long-talked-of and much-desired audi tcrium.
 The inquiry of managers as to an audi torium, of course, comes from the fact that the highest-priced stars are almost prohibitive in small capacity houses. ana the managers are just as anxious to pre- sent their stars as Birmingham is to hear them.
 For instance, Rosa Ponsele sang at the opening Stadium concert in New York this season, singing to 10000 people. Can you imagine place large enough to com fortably seat a crowd like that? And yet this same artist was presented m Birmingham last season by the All Star Concerts" in 400 seating capacity house. just in order that Birmingham might hear her glorious voice, which 1t did and was enthusiastic in its praise or her marvellous art and naturally beautiful voice.
 The Stadium "open-ar'' concerts are the one and only bright spot on the musI- cal horizon in New York during the summer time, and are received with de- light by the music hungry, the big Sym phony Orchestra, under the direction Of William Henry Rothwell, being one of the most representative orchestral or ganizations In that big city.
 From the most eminent musicians Tn New York, critic and laymen alike, was told that Rosa Ponselle is regarded as the most promising young singer of the day; only one other voice in the world being more beautiful, they will tell you with out exception, ana that IS tho oiio " only Caruso.
 And by the way, in making plans Tor the "bookings'' of 1921-22 for the "All Star Concerts" series, Caruso's name Is included in the list.
 New Orleans on June 26 heard Caruso for the first time in all it's history, the concert being one of the most brilliant successes musically ever heard there.
 Birmingham will follow in the footsteps of New Orleans during the season of' 1921-22, hearing the great tenor here Tor the first time.
 John Mccormack is also ''booked'' for the season of 1921-22 by the "All Star Concerts" while as a popular attraction, one which will delight the musical masses as well as the critical musician, Is two performances by Sousa's Band
 Galli-Curci is also in prospect for the same season eff not before), her new

Miss Caroldean Talley and Miss Hat tie D. Russell at the home of the lat- ter on Tyler Hill, when about 100 guests were beautifully entertained by these attractive young girls, says the Anniston Star. The spacious rooms in the Russell home were all thrown to- gether and presented a most attrac- tive appearance with decorations of yellow and white, shasta daisies being used in profusion. The dining room was especially lovely. the table hold ing a large white cake embossed with daisies, surrounded with sparkling cut glass dishes of yellow and white hints Yellow shaded candles also added to the scene and cast a soft glow over the pretty girls. A dainty ice course in yellow and white was served.
 For Saturdays party Miss Sellers was beautifully gowned in a creation of white net with elaborate silver trim mings and was very lovely to look upon. Miss Tally and Miss Russell were very gracious.

 "A nation is really not an entity; 1t is a vast collection of homes. And all national problems must be reduced to the equation of the home.
 This is one of the most critical periods in the countrys history. The nation faces a vital industrial and eco nomical adjustment in which every man and woman must aid.
 The basic economic factor is the home. and it rests with the women to take the initiative in measures affect ing the home"
