Five New Victor
Dance Records

Five of the country's representa-
tive dance orchestras make their own
separate records for Victor in April,
including one waltz. All Star Trio
and Their Orchestra play "Hortense'
which certainly might have been CON-
posed when father was boy" con-
sidering its inclusion of when the
Corn is Waving, Annie, Dear" "Tur-
key in the Straw" "Wait for the
Wagon" and others of the same vim
tage. "Never Mind" on the reverse
side is slower than New York" fox
trot time, and includes phrase from
Saint-Saens' "Samson and Delilah."
Club Royal Orchestra does some
startling things with Wanna" which
starts with bang. goes over to a
deep sax like a drum, steps into a
higher sax theme, rags bit of Grieg
melody, to mention few of its gen.
eral effects. "She Loves Me, She
Loves Me Not" is strongly accented
dance, with some dove-like, huttering
sax-melodies.
To help you try out the Scandal
Walk, the White:nans make re-
markable record on the April Victor
list. Cutie" is a brilliant medley
fox trot, with soft, blazing woodwind
chords. Lonesome Hours" on the
reverse is rather stately dance, in
terrupted by cosby little conferences
among separate groups of instru-
mcnts.
There are as many ways to waltz
as to make Welsh rarebit. Joseph
c. Smith and His Orchestra include
on a new Victor Record for April a
fine waltz number to practice with
Three O'Clock in the Morning" is
slow, steady, smooth as water in a
canal. lola Lo" on the other side
of this record is a Hawaiian fox
trot, with a strain of Viennese in
which the strings predominant. giv-
ing a peculiarly flexible quality.
Two fine fox trots by the Benson
Orchestra of Chicago complete the
Victor dance offerings for April.
Virginia Blues" is slow. with here
and there a phrase from "Carry Me

Boat Song is in decidedly quicker

keeping both at their maximum eff
ficiency. What is true Of the fac
tory is doubly true of the household,
the city, and the state. Every cent
not spent now in warding off evils,
in preventing waste, in promoting
real, sound progress, means dollars
spent in the future in trying, usually
in vain, to repair the resulting and
wholly needless damage. The heavy
taxes, the high cost of living, the
civic burden and the personal sorrow
that follow in the wake Of crime
drunkenness, and pauperism, all rep
resent the pound foolishness" that
is being wrung from US now to make

There follows a cheerful Russian

Nine. Galli-Curci has sung for
Victor audiences some simple and

April Victor Record she sings "AhI

Mozart Air-a number based on a
quaint little air, unaffected and
simple as child's song, which she
develops into coloratura number OF
startling brilliancy and dash. At the
climax the voice leaps away from its
following flute, to the "high E, which
it holds with perfect ease and power.

RELIGIOUS FORCES INTRODUCE
DRASTIC SUNDAY BILL
INTO CONGRESS

A new compulsory Sunday observ-
ance bill was recently introduced in
to Congress by Congressman Fitz-
gerald of Ohio, at the instigation of
the Lords Day Alliance. The Ma
oeist Board of Temperance and
Moral Reform, and the Pastors
Federation of Washington, D. c.
This is the third compulsory OBJ
servance measure introduced into
Congress during this session. This
bill is the long promised Sunday
measure put forth by the Sunday
law advocates which is to close up
everything tight on Sunday in the
District of Columbia, and is to serve
as a model for the whole nation. 1t
forbids all kinds of work except
household service on Sunday. In the
first section of the bill it excerpts
work of necessity and charity" but
Yin the third section it limits even
works of necessity and charity" to
six days of the week. If an individual
or a firm allow works of necessity
or charity on Sunday, they must then
provide succeeding twenty-four
days of rest for each offender.
No exemptions are made for those
who religiously observe another day
than Sunday. Those who can af-
ford to be idle two days in the week
may fare we'll enough, but no pro-
vision is made for those who need
to work six days in the week for
their daily bread.
Some have questioned why God
made the tonsils and appendix, as
they so frequently have to be re-
moved; now it would seem that the
conscience of man is to become an
obsolete and unnecessary part of his
anatomy, since these so-called re-
formers plan its removal in such
wholesale manner.
The bill specifically closes on Sum,
day all "places of public assembly
or amusement for secular purposes"
and also unlawful SPORTS" but does
not say what unlawful sports, al
ready prohibited by law. are to be-
come extinct with the passage of
this drastic Sunday law. Later on
they may even see to it that the
lincolnshire factory becomes "still,"
on Sunday. A penalty of from $500
to $4,000 with up to six months in
Jail, is provided for the violation of
any of its prohibitions.
Every lover of God-given and
Constitutional rights to worship
God in accordance with the dictates
of his own conscience, should send
| in a vigorous protest against these
encroachments upon freedom of con-
science. Every community should
send in to Congress well signed petit
tions opposing this measure.
The Religious Liberty Association,
and the Anti-Blue Law League of
America are planning to meet the
issue with vigorous opposition
campaign. Religious legislation of
this nature should be turned down
with an overwhelming defeat. Human
rights and religious liberty are in
danger.

Merle Alcock Sings
Two Favorites

Everybody thinks they know "Rock-
a-Bye Baby" but don't think, you
know it till you hear Merle Alcock
sing it on new Victor Record, all
her own, in April. 1t is sung in a
pure and lovely voice. with a soft,
wistful obbligato for the violin join
ing in the second stanza. My
Trundle Bed" which she sings on
the reverse. is another old untorgct-
table, redolent of balsam-apple,
lavender and clean sheets.
Fanny Brice is once more with us
on her own Victor Record for April.
While she sings I'm an Indian" to
a patter of clever stuff in the orcheS-
ira, she's forced finally to confess
that she's really "iiddisher squaw."
Then, on the other side, she's no
squaw at all, but Yiddisher spin
ster. on account of low-lifer named
Nathan. "Oh, How Hate That Fell
low Nathan" conveys the moral in
vigorous Brooklyn A-iddisher that a
man in the arms is worth three on
he road.
An unusual record among the new
Victor offerings for April is the
Song of Love-" from Blossom
Time" the first record to be sung in
duet by Lucy Isabelle Marsh and
Royal Dadmun. 1t is combination
of popular melody and fragments
from the unfinished Symphony of
Franz Schubert. On the reverse we

Is Elman's remarkable new record.
"T,ili, Eili," violin arrangement OF
one of the most extraordinary OF
Jewish melodies-an expression OF
that same despairing cry that Christ
himself set up in his dying moments
on the Cross. 1t is a sad, even ter
rible strain, in which melancholy and
despair prevail.
France has produced much of the
worlds greatest devotional music
with which to celebrate the. great
Christian anniversaries. and the
"Hosanna" that Gourmet sings for one
of the April Victor Records is among
the most sublime of French Easter
songs. 1t is huet1y melodious, tell
ing the story superbly in wonderful,
resonant French.
Particularly timely was the recent
release of the very last record made
by Caruso during life. The Crncifrns
from Rossinis Solemn Mass was
chosen by the Victor Talking Machine
Company as perhaps the most appro-
pirate to break the silence, on its
part, which has followed Caruso's
death. Whatever the religious faith
of its hearers, whatever the quality
or degree of their belief, this record,
with its ancient story of death tor
redemption, brings US face to face
with the old questions of life, death
and immortality, the old ideals OF
love and sacrifice. Musically the
record is worthy in every detail OF
the great man who made it.
Trinity Quartet sings four splen-
did Easter hymns, each occupying its
own side of two double-faced Victor
Records. THE Strife Is Der, The
Battle Done" is one of the most
glorious hymns of any faith or peo-
pie, the words being from an old Latin
hymn, the melody from Giovanni
da Palestrina, the great sixteenth CEN
fury Italian composer. sour Lord Is
Risen from the Dead" was written by
Charles Wesley, brother of John, and
one of the greatest English hymn
odists. The tune is that grand old
song Duke Street" In each of these
hymns one stanza is taken by the
soprano voice, solo. The two other
numbers, on a single record, are
God So Loved the World" from Sir
John Stainer's "The CrucifxioH," an
oratorio known to thousands and
sung in many Christian Churches on
Good Friday or at Easter. On the
reverse is Christ the Lord Is Risen

spired melodies, with all the jubila-
ton of Easter in its glorious phrases.

narrow-minded economies exhibit
their most lamentable results. Here

Little Theatre Club of Eastern

Benefit For P. A. c.

The Little Theatre Club of the
Eastern Normal under the direc-
ton OF Miss Rucie Miller, were
most successful in their second
presentation of the play ''Under
Cover" at the opera house Friday
evening. The play was given
for the benefit of the Pattie A.
Clay and was brilliant success.
The young artists deserve much
praise.
The story Of the play involves
The smuggling Of jewels into the
United States by Stephen Den
by, the lover of Ethel Cartwright
week end guest of Michael Flar-
rington. Miss Cartwright i'll or
der to protect her sisters guilt
for burglary, has been forced in
to secret service work that she
might ascertain the smuggler.
Miss Dolly Pickles. who played
the part of Miss Cartwright, Il
young society girl, and Daily
DunaWay, as Daniel Taylor, the
detective. carried the burden of
the tense story that was almost
professional. The part of Step'l-
Gil DENLY was superbly handled
by Ray Foster. SalIie Gentry. as
1lrs. Harrington, though having
few lines, was exceptionally good
and showed great dramatic tai
cnt. Leslie Evans. as Michael
Harrington, and Cowan Taylor.
As Monte Vaughn could not have
been better. Other noteworthy
characters in the play were Amy
Cartwright by Mary Elizabeth
I.lXon, who has the making OF
capable PLAYER; William Crutcil-
CT and Doriand Coates, as Dun
can and Tibbs, respectively, She!
by Carr as Peter. the Ioorkeep-
q, Anne Wallace as Nora Rut-
ledge and Carolyn Rice as Sarah
Peabody, added bit Of spice to
the performance.
The music by Elders Orches-
tra was a big feature of the en-
tertainment for which the board
is sincerely grateful Also the
donation Of the furniture BY
1!uncy Bros. and the programs
b. Pushin's Fashion Shop, all OF
which helped to make the occa-
sion greatly enjoyed by a splen-
did house.

The road was started October Fl,
