MUSIC RECITAL TO
BE HELD TONIGHT
Mis- Evelyn Scotney, Noted Soprano,
Will Appear at High School
Auditorium.

The much advertised music recital
of Miss Evelyn Scotney, the noted
coloratura soprano, will be neld tonight
at the new high school auditorium on
North Palafox street at $50.
There is very little to add in praise
of this young womans art than has
been published in these columns be-
fore. Miss Scotney comes to Pensa
cola as the most prominent operate
artistic in years, in fact in the history
of this city. Probably no greater tes-
tlmonal to her ability can be offered
than the fact that she sang leading
roles with the late Enrica Caruso.
When one considers the pinnacle
reached by Caruso in the musical
world, his fame and reputation, and
then pause to give solemn thought to
the fact that Miss Scotney sang lead
ing roles with this great artist, the
more wildly is it brought home that
tonight's concert will be musical
epoch in Pensacola's history
The entire proceeds of tonight's con-
cert win be devoted to the Ladies'
Home the Orphans Home and the
Jewish charities. Tickets selling at
Cutters, Reynalds and Pensacola

particular place. and neither did her

of a small scratch on the mans fore

rough treatment. Being familiar with
such cases he testifiedsthat the swol-
len condition of the body was charac-
teristic of poisoning.
The investigation will he resumed
this morning and several other wit
nesses win fbe examined in an effort
to ascertain whether or not PowelTs

oning.

Ralph Graves, handsome and son of
a prosperous steel manufactures Of

So Ralph was destined for the foun-
dry when he refused to continue his
studies in college, but he took trip
to Chicago, and didn't use the return
ticket.
His fathers telegram for him to re-
turn home came at the same time a
public contest was In progress by a
Chicago newspaper to discover the
handsomest man in the middle west.
A friend sent Ralph Graves photo
graph, and the award came to him. A
motion picture company invited him
TO work in a picture and the entrance
to the studio was the exit forever from
the steel business.
Finally. Griffith, the wizard. whose
eyes are always rowing for promising
material in the screen world. saw him,
engaged him, and cast him in a picture.
When Dream Street was started,
Graves found himself in a role of a
young man whose golden voice con-
quered the girls. and whose great bold
fists conquered the men. His part is
of physical exuberance and spiritual
struggle. played with great under
standing and so much charm that Alan
Dale. the New York critic, said of him:
HE is the finest actor / have ever seen
on the screen. He has youth, looks

HAPPINESS.


It's all in what we're striving for, all in
what we hope TO do,
There isn't any happiness that life can
bring to mo or you;
just watch the ways o men an sec the
Joys they daily pick an choose,
You'll see some frown although they WIN,
an others smile although they lose.
Some search for Joy in boarded gold some
find il in modest way,
But real contentment'r of the soul IN spite
of what the cynics say
An happiness is Of the home-the paiaoe
IL no happier than
The cottage on the simpler street where
peace awaits the humber man.
It's all in what we think we need, an what
we feel We must possess,
That makes us failures here on earth or
stamps orr labor with successi
He who can walk the quiet lanes an glory
in the friendly trees,
Shall know as many happy days rs those
who travel over seas.
What difference shall il make nj last to me
or you il we cnn say,
In looking back across the miles, tnrs
happiness has strewn olir way
The joy OF life lies in ourselves the poor
man rompine with child
ls Just ns rich in happiness as be whose
gold in stacks ls piled.
