Madame Arral
Scores Success

In their concert of April Is at
Epiphany Hall, Nine Blanche Arral
and her associates equaled, if they did
not surpass, anything they have done
in this locality.
Mr.. Arnold Becker opened the pro-
gram with the air from la Jolie
File de PERTH" and the many admir-
ers whom he has already gained in the
community again enjoyed to the ut
most the sonorous mellowness of his
rich baritone voice.
Nine. Arral followed Mr.. Becker
with a group of three songs, the "RO-
meo and Juliet aria by Gounod,
"Wake Up by Phillips and the Bird
Waltz" by Varney, the latter the most
popular of Nine. Arral's Victor records
and big seller. Nine. Arral was new
er in better voice and received a storm
of applause For encore the diva sang
a lively Spanish bolero, which scored
decided hit.
Mr.. AuguSte Perisse appeared next
in the well known tenor air from Flo
tow's Martha" which he sang with
feeling and skill.
The next number was a comic scene
in costume by Nine. Augusta Pouget
and Mr.. Perisse, which was well re-
ceived.
The first part of the program ended
with duet from "The Daughter of
tho par;mout cunu Inv Nnna A rral
and Mr.. Becker in costume. The sec
ond part of the concert, called on the
program grand selection from Thorn
as "Mignon," well deserved this APP
pellation. 1t consisted of the most
dramatic and charming scenes of the
opera so arranged as to maintain the
continuity of the theme. Nine. Arral
appeared first in the costume of Mig
non and sang the scene which includes
the well known "KnOweSt Thou That
Fair Land When she reappeared on
the scene twas as Philine to sing the
grand air, Il Am Fair Titania,' in
which she exhibited skull in the col
orature passages that is rarely equal
ed and not eXcelled among the present
generation of singers.
The role of LOthario was sung by
Mr.. Becker in admirable style. AL
though the part of Wilhelm does not
present such opportunities for display
as the other two, Mr.. PeriSSe sang eX-
cellently. The orchestra. under the di-
rection of Mr.. Aft Stoupanse, provided
adequate accompaniment.

At Cliffside High
With "Corkey"

WILL WI MY
The baseball team opened its season
with Il 4-3 victory over Englewood on
last Saturday. Our boys certainly
have large following.
A large number of rOOters came up
with the West New York team on
Wednesday, but they returned home
without an easy victory, but an awful
defeat in their bat bag.
The Cliffside boys certainly are
playing fine baseball, both at bat and
in the field; but best of all they are
playing together and that is what
wins the games.
Toney GiantOnio turned out to be
regular Carl Mays, winning his first
two successive starts. He is pitching
a dandy brand of ball and especially
well when there are men on the bags
Costellano is doing well behind the
bat, especially when he has the batter
in a hole.
Macdonald certainly is smacking the
pill even better than last season.
Houk is smashing out his usual
hard hits.
Moe" Resnick is playing a la Wag-
ner at the shorttield.
Limsky, freshman at third, is the
real find of the season.
The Outfield is improving all the
time. Corriston is hitting most con-
sistently.
Without doubt, Nicky BOrrell will
be on the slab against Passaic today.
Work has begun on junior high
team 1t no doubt will be picked some
time next week.
CliffSide is again to be entered in
the Eastern Bergen Grammar School
League.
There is lots of material in the junior
high. Pitching material is plentiful.
The date of the Operetta "Sylvia"
has been set for Saturday, May II, in
the c. 2. II. S. auditorium.
The lens of the motion picture ma
chine stolen last December was re-
covered by Police Captain Borrel and
Patrolman McEvoy during the past
week.
The high school was fumigated OH
| Wednesday evening.
The girls basketball games of the
class tournament that have not as YET
been played will be contested in the
gym next week.
The girls are again outdoors playing
| field hockey under the supervision OF
Miss Player. The champion senior
girls are ready to defend their title
against all corners.
The. cast of the operetta sylvia
has been practicing diligently during
the past week.
Now that the cast for the senior
play has been picked, they are work
ing hard to make the play even a
better success than the precedents
heretofore given.
Coach Langley has had his track
proteges out working hard all week
He is to make his final selection of
the team members on Monday.
The coach has entered the team in
the high school meet to he held at
Columbia in the near future
We hope Mr.. Langley is as success
full in this sport as with the past foot
ball team.
The football squad had some light
practice during the past week. Coach
Langley and Captain Houk were as
sisted by McCloskey, Vaughan Cor
riston and Captain Costellano, who
graduate in June.

The welswtschia, which grows In
southwest Africa, is one Of the queer
est plants IN the world. The body Of
the plant resembles an enormous rad
lsh, and Is sometimes u to 10 feet In
circumference. From this grows two
long leaves, which trail on the ground
and are usually split into numerous
ribbons. These are the only leaves
produced, and they last through the
lifetime Of the plant, which is said to
reach more than one hundred years.
The colonial authorities maintain a
small park for the preservation Of
this rare aud remarkable plant.
