4 &1H~44~
 In grateful appreciation for the won- derful response on the part of the peo- pie of Birmingham to my invitation to visit the new Pizitz store, renew today my pledge of service to the whole conn munity. In my personal message to the people in Tuesday afternoons paper, asked everybody to come and visit my new store, and they came by the thou sands. Tuesday night was the happiest moment of my life. The pressing crowds made me feel that the public ap- preciated all that have been trying to do for them through the years and in- dicated to me that they were going to respond to the new opportunities for supplying all of their needs am giving them in this wonderful new store.
 The crowd that came out to see this new store was, believe, forecast of the way the public is going to respond to the policies of the Pizitz store in its new home.
 In expressing my appreciation for the wonderful crowd, the beautiful flow CTS, the congratulatory advertisements from my fellow merchants in the news papers, the scores of letters and tele- grams, the personal messages of in- terest and appreciation, l want to apol- ogize for the unfinished state of the building. We had worked night and day for weeks to be ready for our big day. There remain few things here and there to be done. In few days the last ragged edge will be smoothed out and we will be entirely ready.
 Meanwhile, we are offering the greatest values in the history of the Pizitz store. Today more than ever be- fore, my store has earned the motto, "PIZITZ SELLS FOR LESS." Bir- mingham has never seen anything like the merchandise we are offering and the values we are giving.
 repeat once more my appeal that every man, woman, boy and girl in Jef- ferson county buy something, no matter how small or how large, in this new store this week. want you to show your appreciation of what we have done and are doing for all the people.
 have now the finest store in the south beautiful, modern, complete. We are prepared to supply every need of every home in the county, and our prices are almost unbelievably low. The same policies that have kept i'm creasing thousands of customers pleased and satisfied in the past are go- ing to be carried out in the new store.
 I am deeply grateful for the response on the part of the public. Ipledge my self again to do everything in my power to continue to deserve the public confi- dence. thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
 Sincerely,
 LOUIS PIZITZ.

TILE St Patrick Players. at the
President this week, will present
passion play for the benefit of
Archbishop Curley's diocesan fund
for poor country churches. 1t is not
replica Of the famous Oberammer-
gau play, but is called "On the slopes
Of Calvary"
The author is Rev. DR.. Aurelio Pal
mferi, an Augustinian priest OF Rome.
we'll known in Europe as an extern
sive writer Of Catholic books and
plays.
"On the Slopes OF Calvary" was
translation. several years ago. had
never been presented in this coun-
try. Back In 1917. however, the Alloy
sius Players selected It for presenta-
ton, and the possibilities Of the
play were SO apparent that the Rev.
Players regarded it as particularly
well adapted to the needs Of that well
known organization.
In the meantime, Archbishop Cur
ley of the diocese Of Baltimore had
interested Il \ s himself greatly in the
churches in the southern part of
Maryland--churche which seemed
greatly In need OF the help OF more
afnuent parishes in other parts of the
diocese. The archbishop created the
fund with which to meet this need.
and II occurred to Father Hurney
that 1t would be particularly advan-
tageous for the st. Patrick Players
to make some contribution to this
work.
When the time came. however. to
begin work It was found that Father
Palmieri, the author Of the passion
play. was somewhere In Europe on a
special mission and could not be To-
Gated. Something like four weeks
elapsed before Father Hurney located
personal representative Of the au-
thor In this country. and, through this
personal representative. the ST. Pat
rick Players were authorized to be-
gin work. Father Palmieri's repre-
sentative even waived the authors
right to royalty for this one produc-
ton.
The passion play that the st. Pat
rick Players will present at the Pres
ident Is a very much condensed YER

Gently, and turned 20 say:
Music isn't what It used to be-"
DO you think it has changed for
better or worse?" she was asked.
THAT depends entirely upon ones
point of view. Personally. having been
through the era of opera comique in
America, l notice the changes that
have come about in the past ten years.
Jazz has taken a firm hold on the
affections of the American public. and
jazz Is something that one must con-
slider when analyzing these various
changes.
when l first entered the operate
field. such composers as Orenbach.
Strauss, the elder Johann; Sullivan
and the Viennese school were the
reigning monarchs OF music. Songs
were written for arias alone, and lit
tie or no thought was given to synco-
patton as regards song. The dance
possibilities were never considered. II
dance music was desired, dance music
was composed. and the two types Of
music. melody and dance music, were
kept separate and apart.
las to the change being for the bet
ter or for worse, I'm incliESd to be-
lieve one can hardly answer that
question without reservations. The
public taste must be considered. AS
