Auer. and Raymond Barry, the brill
iant young American pianist.
While still very young. Miss I.u-
cey showed an exceptional tnlent for
singing, which she put to use mt hrr
first opportunity. Her musical career
began in New York, where she WIS
first engaged ms II chorus girl. This
was followed by several seasons OF
hard work in some of the biggest
musical successcs on the road, dur
ing which time size worked and sludi-
cd and denied herself nll the pleas
ures which nre supposed to he part
OF the life of II chorus girl.
During her first season on ia.
rond, Miss l.uccy's ability was quick
ly' recognized, and she wns made un.
dcrstudy to Annnbcllc Whitford in a
prominent musical show. This wus
her opportunity to get the trninin,.
she so much desired, and when SHE
returned to New York she found
herself full-ncdged stnr.
In the coming recital. Miss Luccy
will sing in comparison with her
voice rs RE-CREATED by the New

diencc to judge whether or not the
living voice can be made to live for
ever. a superb program hns been mr.
ranged-a program that will reveal
all of the fascinating qualities of the
glorious voice of the young sopra<lo.
AZ times her living voice will be
heard alone; at times she will sing
in nnision with her RE-CREATED
voice; at other times she will sing
duets with herself. The audience will
try to pick the two golden threads

has been made immortal. Can il be
done? Cards of admittance may be

THOMAS ii. VAIL DIES SUD-
DENLY.

News reaches Tazewell of the sud
den death of Mr.. Thomas H. Vail at
his home at Modesto, California,
where he was living with his daughr
er, Miss Pearl. Details of his death
are meagre. Further than his death
was sudden and due to acute indr-
gestion, there are no further details.
He was about rs years old.
Mr.. Vail was related to number
of Tazewell and Burke's Garden
people. His first wife was sister to
George w. Gillespie, of this town.
and also sister to the late Col. JOS
HARRISON. His second wife was Il
Miss Moss, daughter of the late Jos
Moss. Mr.. Vail was an Intelligent
genial gentleman. He was an exten
sic and continuous traveller, visiting
at intervals every State in the un.
ion. Consequently he was an inter
esting conversationalist. In his last
swing around he spent sometime
not long ago-in Tazewell, and we
all regret that his face will be seer
amongst us no more.
