"A CHARMING MILK MAID

Myrtle Schlehr who has such a

in Ralph Dunbar's superb revival of

Tuesday Nov. 20. is fair example of
the opportunities given to operate as
pirants by Mr.. Dunbar's voice trials
in the various cities he visits on tour.
Miss Schlehr is a native of Mem
phis, Tennessee, educated at the st.
Agnes Academy and winning the Gold
Metal there for efficiency in piano
playing, and having her voice trained
by Marie Greenwood Worden, the
leading vocal teacher in that city. She
sang with success in many amateur
opera performances and did not think
of going on the stage till Ralph Dun
bars company visited Memphis and
she was one of $50 applicants at the
voice trial. She was accepted as high
ly promising, but was disappointed to
find that there was no place then in
light, Mr. Dunbar revisiting Memphis
two months later, sent for her and
placed her in the ''Robin Hood"
chorus, in which her work was so
noticeably good that she was given
the part of Annabelle, in which she
has certainly made good" Miss
SchIehr will continue to work hard
for further success in the operatic
field and this summer proposes to
join Mr. Dunbar's operate school in

ity opportunity, it was worth more
than years of effort through indirect
channels. The expectation is that Pre-
mier BRAND will be upheld in the
Chamber of Deputies when he gets
home and that Rene Viviani, who
takes his place as the head of the
French mission, can afford to pursue
a middle of the road policy here bas-
ed, of course, upon the instruction
from Premier BRAND when he is back
in France and knows the limits to
which he may go in considering land
ornaments, if it is indeed taken up.
The general feeling is that the whole
subject will be sidestepped and possi-
bly, transferred to the league of ma
tions which is investigating it with a
special commission headed by the
same Rene Viviani who sits here as
the official representative of France.

PARDON WEEK ENDS

While the week set aside for
hearing pardon petitions closed last
Saturday it took the early part of
this week to clear up the record of
decisions made by Governor Morri-
son in these cases. During the last
day he completed many petitions that
were befroe him, number of them
coming up without attorneys to rep
resent them. During the week the
governor has turned down the petit
tions for ciemency in twenty-five
cases. and granted some relief to
fourteen of the number appealing to
him.
While no fixed rule has been
adopted by the governor about
grounds for pardon, he is granting a
great deal more paroles than par
ions. The parole system enables the
governor to keep a little closer tab

these two officials know more about
the cases than any one else and have
a more disinterested view than any
one else, consequently when a solic-
itor and judge in recommending a
parole or clemency for any reason

moving the governor from his fixed
assumption that the court found

the stories from abroad have been

French Premier's address. Like the
British, many Americans feel that the
standing army of France is only keep

fires of possible conflict. But it is
