see as quickly as children but there
is not that swift completion Of the
transmission of the picture from the
eye to the brain.
In this picture there was the re-
turn OF a San Francisco gangster
from the French front, where he had
made an honorable service record.
He was Immediately seized upon by
his companions and his criminal
mother and was urged to resume his
lawless life. The war had partially
reclaimed him to the status Of an
honorable citizen.
But he would probably have lapsed
but for a single incident. One night
when he was about to set out on a
''job" he went to his service kt for
his 'gat." 1t was a service revolver
which he had used in the trenches.

amount OF hysteria over more recent
productions can hide the overwhelm-
ing truth that he is our natural and
established leader in the field of
creative music. An American pro-
gram must find it's chief inspiration
in the work of Edward Mcdowell.
His great piano sonatas rank with
the masterpieces Of all music, and
many of his shorter pieces have
charm and personality that are ire
sistible.
while I would always insist upon
the unique greatness of MacDowell." :"
continued Mr.. Souvaine. II still find
tremendous pleasure in studying
the work of newer and younger COM
posers of America. Alexander Mac
FNadyen, in Chicago, and John Powell
In New York, have been producing
work that is distinctively American,
and the former is now Being honored
greatest artists. The sonatas of
Harold Morris have been recently
accorded much favorable comment,
and DR.. F. Morris Glass. who takes
his music simply as an avocation, has
made some significant contributions
to the literature of the piano as well
as the voice. / am interested also
in the creative ability of my colleague
Hans Barth--who has an individual
turn to his work that is quite fas-
cinating."
Mr.. Souvaine is too modest TO
speak of his own achievements as a
composer. He has, however. many
creative gems already to his credit,
and his distinctive composition, The
Mood of a Mandarin" has proved one
of the most popular features of his
programs during the past year. Mr..
Souvaine has also won recognition
for his remarkable transcription of
Tschaikowskys piano concerto. in
which he has skillfully combined the
piano and orchestral part for concert
use. During the coming season Mr.
Souvaine is touring the Pacific coast
and will appear in Phoenix concerts
February 2Oth to February 25th.

SINGER EXCELS IN
ART AND IN SPORT

1t is not given to all of us to excel
in the widely divergent fields of art
and sport. Unique in the possession
of this dual capacity is Penelope Da-
vies, the brilliant young American
mezzo- soprano, who will sing in
Phoenix during the week of February
2025. Born in the west, she i'm
bibed much of the characteristic
"breeziness' of that part of the coun-

vocal studies were pursued entire

was convinced the finest instruction
and opportunity were to be found,
and her achievements have fully JUS

Miss Davies turns to tennis with the
keenest enthusiasm, and she has an
enviable reputation as an amateur
champion, having won in ladies' sin
giles at Ottawa, Canada, and in dou-
bles holds the Canadian Northwest.
From the prominence in her tennis
activities in and around New York
during the last two years Miss Davies
has won the sobriquet "Songbird Of
the Courts" which title is by no
means confined to the tennis courts.
Her repertoire is large and varied.
She is extremely successful with
Scandinavian songs, with which she
seems to have an almost native SYM
pathy. Miss Davies is especially in
terested in contemporary American
composers, and emphasizes their
songs on her programs. During the
coming season, Miss Davies will tour
the Pacific Coast, later covering
practically the entire country.

Vigorous defense Of the adjusted
compensation bill in Congress, for
the benefit Of ex-soldiers and sail
ors, and denial that a sales tax Is
needed for the bill, Arthur j. Rein
hart, department adjutant OF the
American Legion in Texas, has ia
sued a statement TO the public and
sent IL to The News. It's state
ment follows;
One Of the vital questions in con-
nection with the adjusted compen-
sation proposal is President Har-
ding's final attitude toward incor-
porating tax measure in the ad-
justed compensation bill. Will Presi-
dent Harding insist, as he has in
timated he might, that special tar
feature be included in the bill? Or
will he give his assent IL the meas
vrs comes to him without q rev.
enue provision, to be financed out
Of receipts from general taxation
as have been the other debts and
obligations arising from the war;
Public Threatened
This question is vital because tax
alarms and tax scares have been
chief factors in the strategy and
tactics OF the enemies Of the ad-
justed compensation bill. One after
another by opponents Of the bill
acting in bad faith, considerable
groups of the American public have
been threatened by these unpopular
proposals and, in some instances,
made to believe that they would
have to shoulder alone the whole
cost Of paying the bonus. Mani
festly If a revenue producing feature
toward which there is intense and
powerful antagonism should be in
cluded in the bill, the prospect that
the Senate would kill the whole
measure would be very strong
II the Senate did this, somebody
would be freed Of a lot Of worry.
In this connection it is worth
while to study the letter which,
eight ex-service men who are Rep
resentatives in Congress sent to
Chairman Fordney Of the House
Committee charged with framing the
compensation bill. This letter,
