Paris Microphone Becomes Heated
An unfortunate circumstance occurred
at the Paris Drygoods store during thu
man that spoiled the effectiveness O
her beautiful singing.
So great is the range in the son:
90 Don Fatale," by Verdi, which sht
sang in Italian, that the vibration o,
the metal in the magnavox, through
which the concert was being broad,
casted to more than 500 persons il
the store, DETECTED the quality Of the
tone Of her singing. The ~microphone
in the Paris set also became heated
handicapping the reproduction. In this
song also Mrs. Beckman was the victim
of misfortune in that the voltage of the
city electric current, suddenly dropped
ing to be destroyed. Particularly was
it unfortunate that the reproduction Of
this song was imperfect, for her rendi-
ton of the difficult song was wonder
full.
In her second song, Mighty LAX q
Rose" by Nevin, she charmed hum
dreds of persons all over the country
with her singing. Persons with indi-
vidual receiving sets in Many parts of
the city reported that the song was
reproduced effectively and was heard
plainly.
The two songs BY Alex Campbell,
one of the ~northwest's most popular
b%aritones, were we'll recorded and the
unusual quality of his singing was com
mented on by persons in the next block
and also hundreds of miles away. He
sang "Out Where the West Begins"
by Philleo. and "Duna," by McGiIl.
The Scotch baritone, who has faced
many audiences without faltering, ad-
mitted that he was fused"
Campbell Is Beat"
This singing into a horn and quit
ting without having any conception of
how your song got over with the
crowd sort of beats me-" he said.
Henry Dotseth. 16-year-old violinist,
whose playing has won him popular ia
0 and unusual distinction in Great
Falls music circles, played two selec-
tons that were reproduced with per-
haps the best success of any number
on the program. Radio experts say
that the violin music carries unusually
well and those who tuned in for the
concert reported to The Tribune that
his playing was beautiful.
Mrs. Beckman and Mr.. Campbell
were accompanied on the piano by Miss
Olive Sorrick and Mr.. Dotseth was ac-
eompanied by Miss Elsie Nordauist.

veyed the greetings of The Tribune TO
all those tuned in"
Mr.. Warden said:
THE Great Falls Tribune takes
pride and pleasure in this occasion
which marks the formal opening of it's
broadcasting radio equipment. This
date, we believe, may be written into
its history in bold face, y point type,
There is the inspiration of progress at
this moment when we reach out with
the nation wide radius of radio and be-
gin to tell the world what heretofore
could only be given to our friends and
patrons in Montana.
Perhaps we are passing a milestone
this evening in the building of a news
paper. At this time imagination is
racing into the future with invention.
Just a bit of history. The Tribune
was established as a weekly newspaper
at Sun River, Mont, on February IA
1854. 1t was then called the Sun
River Sun. About a year later, it
was moved to this city. taking the
name Great Falls Tribune.
Montana's Best News Gatherer
1.-THE Daily Tribune is IS years old.
1t enjoyed a birthday on May 16. 1t
was purchased by the present owners
in January, 1895. 1t has been under
the same or an amplified business man
agsment since that time and, for nearly
the whole period, under the same edi-
torial direction. There has been con-
sistent effort to make good the slogan
that is continually carried over the
news columns-Montana's Best News
Gatherer. The installation Of radio
is simply playing the game Of progress.
