Erroneous reports spring up in var

ta.Ardmore is the hardest hit Of any oil
town in Oklahoma and Texas basing
his opinion chiefly on the information
that rooms at Ardmore hotels are al
most half vacant" "The bustling city

MUSIC STUDY
 CLUB CONCERT


 Of Florence Easton, who will ap- pear in concert at the Jefferson on Wednesday evening at s;15 o'clock under cie auspices of tho Birming- ham Music Study club. it is said;
 Florence Esston has reached tho highest pinnacles of success as. a member of the Metropolitan. Opera company. Her every attempt and with Miss Easton an attempt is not an attempt but a certainty-has been successful. and the public and critics alike have come to look upon ,her as one of the two or three most in- telligent artists at the Metropolitan. Hers is the kind of artistic endeavor that appeals to the American. public, for 1t is founded upon intelligence and follows the best canons of her art FlortAce Easton deserves every success In the world. The manage ment has given 1t to her, and fate, too. has coutrfived to give her oppor- tunitles that ordinarily would have been slower in coming to the average singer. But Florence Easton Is not tho average singer; she Is above and beyond this class. To show the workings of this same fate-recently she sang Elsa iR "Lohengrin." not alone because she was pre-eminentiy fitted for the part, but also because there is no longer a contigent of German singers at the Metropolitan, Then her carmen was one of the sen- sations of the winter, because Ger aidine Farrar's sudden indisposition threw this role in her way and she was able to give notable perform ance without g rehearsal at only a few hours notice. If one were only to glance at the press notices she received for these two performances alone it would be enough to con- vince him of the artistic status Flor ence Easton has attained at the lead- ing opera house of the world in com petition with other singers of world renown"
