WHITMAN ORCHESTRA
AT THE ORIENTAL.

Paul Whiteman's Romance of
Rhythm" Orchestra began an engage
ment at the Oriental Restaurant, De-
cember IA, under auspices of Robert
Hayne Tarrant.
Paul Whiteman is credited by many
with having made jazz more popular
than it ever was by putting it through
a refining process.
Many persons grew tired of jazz
music because it was too noisy. White
man set about to remove this objec-
tionable and he has reformed all jazz.
The tin-pan, cowbell effects are not
used any more.
The aim Of most composers these
days is to have Whitemans orchestra
play their compositions. This usually
means success for the piece. AS
result the leader is deluged with or
chestrations of compositions and he
spends large part of his time going
over them as he dos not wish hit
to slip through his hands.

De Lyle Aida, newest prima donna
headliner in Keith vaudeville, comes
to the two-a-day to the Orpheum
theatre direct from the Ziegfeld Fol-
lies in which she sang the leading
role in 1919 and 1920 and the Zieg-
field Midnight Frolic in which she
was featured in 1921. Miss Aida is
in vaudeville at the peak of her vocal
and physical perfection. In her early
twenties she is one of the great beau
ties of the American stage and a
richly gifted vocalist. She appears
in the title role of smart musical
play called "Sadie-One of Those
Girls" which satiriZes the seasons
current musical hits on Broadway and
gives her a half dozen fine songs and
three complete changes of costume.
1t is not too much to say that Miss
Aida brings the freshest and finest
voice to vaudeville that has been
heard in many a day. Her tones
have a delightful larklike quality and
her method is crisply clear in enun-
citation. She is a graduate of the
Chicago Conservatory of Music, class
of 1918. Sadie" is the sally" of
vaudeville. Miss Aida is assisted by
Edward Tierney and James Donnelly.
The following other numbers are on
the bill: Duel De Kerekjarto,
Royal Violinist Virtuoso"; Leo Don
nelly & Co.; Alexandria; Bird Caba-
ret, "A Remarkable Display of
Feathered Intelligence; Hazel Dare

TENSAS COTTON DRIVE STARTS



Although pledges were not taken
at the meeting, the drive for sigma
lures to the uniform cotton contract
adopted by the Louisiana Farm Bu-
reau Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association began Wednesday after
noon in a meeting held at the count
house. Quite a number of cotton
growers of Tensas parish heard j..
d. Coughlan, Chief of the Western
Division of the American Cotr Ill
Growers Exchange, explain the as
sociation's cooperative marketing
plan and the success with which it
functioned in Texas, Oklahoma, Arr
zona and Mississippi last year. Nine
of the largest cotton raising states
are operating this year under SINH
lar cotton contracts, controlling and
handling about two and half mil
dion bales Of cotton.
Mr.. Coughlan stated the object
of the plan is to save middlemen
profits to both grower and consumer
of cotton, give the grower the most
the market offers for his bales and
supply the finished products to the
consumer at as low price as pos
sible by selling direct to the mills.
Louisiana's quota has been fixed
at a minimum Of seventy-five thous-
and bales, or about $3.50 of the
normal production. 1t is expected,
however, that pledges for one hum
dred thousand bales will be obtained
by the LIST of January, 1928. The
drive for contracts in this state be-
gan about a month ago and already
thirty five thousand bales have been
signed.
IF the present method and con-
ditions in marketing the cotton crop
are not improved, the Southern states
will pass into a state of bankruptcy,
in the very near future" Mr..
Coughlan said in the course Of his
address to the growers. There is no
inducement to the American cotton
grower to raise better cotton, for
better cotton does not command any
better price than mediocre grades,
due entirely to our present market
ing methods. It is q case Of the
grower taking whatever he is Of
fered for his cotton, regardless Of
grade and quality, to holding it and
guessing at when it Is best to sell
Mr.. Coughlan explained in detail
the benefits to be derived from CO.
operative marketing Of cotton and
also discussed at length those points
in the cotton contract that are so
vital to the grower and to the sue
cessful operation of the association.
The Louisiana Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton hopes that the planters and
farmers Of Tensas parish, after
careful consideration Of the Co
operative Marketing plan, will pledg'
their cotton to this, their own asso-
association, and join with the othel
planters and farmers Of this state in
setting up an association that vii
be of a great benefit to themselves.
The farmers of other states are get
ting handsome returns from this
method Of selling their cotton. Why
not Louisiana?
"A solicitor will be sent here whose
duty will be to make a canvass Of
every planter and farmer in this
parish, explaining to each individual
the contract, how the association
will function, what has been accom-.
plished by other states now in oper.
alton and what profits may accrue
to those men who become member
Of this association.
