MaennerchOr and Elena

Beauty of chorus singing was illus
trated last night by the indianapolis
Maennerchcr at The Acadmy of Music
The guest artist was Elena Ger
hardt. heder-singer of international
reputation.
We haven't eLougfr chorus singing
in this country. The library of such
compositions is very rich. 1t is in.
deed a compliment when sixty men
can band together for the purpose OF
developing such music.
1t takes time, lots of it, to develop
sixty men in chorus work. The
Maennerchor has been highly success
full in giving Indianapolis an organi-
cation of worth.
Karl Reckzeh of Chicago is the di-
rector He knows how 10 place the
voices for the best effects. He has
perfect control Of the sixty voices. AT
times the tone reminded me Of gi-
gantic pipe organ.
One Gets Out of Music
Just What One Puts In
1t seems to me that one gets out
OF music just what one puts INFO it.
Every effort 10 build up apprecia-
ton for chorus work deserves only
the highest praise. 1t requires work,
ard work, t. perfect an OrganiZa ton
like this Maennerchor.

Earl MOssman Is Easy
Hit at Capitol This Week

Earl Mossman walks away with the
individual honors in a show named
Breezy Times"
Mossman in a speciality introduces
his conception of a tap-dance without
music. Mossman does some splendid
hoofing in what might be called q
hard shoe dance. During the speciality
he has the services of Alice Turner,
who presents her idea of THE Swanee
River Dance" as done fifty years ago.
1 believe that if Moss had more
dancing to do that this show would
be much better. He has a way about
him which invites the attention of the
audience. His work is legitimate and
Is a credit to burlesque.
Charles Wesson and Alice Jay in a
speciality attempt to lift an uninterest-
ing show, but the job is hard one.
The trouble with this Columbia show
is that it relies too much upon the
alleged comedy ability Of Jamie Cough
lin. Some Of the scenes are down
right stupid from a comedy stand
point. THE Sanitarium" scene is one
Of the best from a hokum standpoint.
The comedy is downright hokum
and slap-stick presented on the whole
by comedians who fail to hold interest.
This show needs a new book and needs
it at once.

Here Is Perfect Singing

i EFT Zelaya tell EN- what's what

EFT Zelaya tell EN- what what
in the world of music.
III And this South American
pianist certainly spills the beans on
the topic of real music at Keith's
this week.
Zelaya hands out the real article
regarding jazz and good music in a
humorous way which is a near riot,
but beneath all the laughs and fun
there is truth.
He maintains that real music, good
music. has been badly treated in the
last ten years. He declares that music
to be hit now days must have ba-
nanas, cabbage and a sprinkling Of
grapefruit.
"They give the classical artist the
raspberry" he declares. They have
given me til raspberry. See I am in
second spot"
And so Zelaya goes on in the most
informal broken English way regard
ing the triumph of jazz and the de
cline of good music. 1 found his
monologue delicious fun; in fact, a
rare delight And the audience loved
his remarks.
Zelaya is a splendid pianist and
above all a rare Snowman. He doesn't
jazz up his music, but he does jazz
up his mOnologue. To my way of
thinking this man is the real hit at
Keith's this week.
And the audience raved over his
playing of real music. A wise old
Snowman. this Zelaya, who under
stands vaudeville.
The bill this week at Keith's is
what is known as an all-comedy bill.
The Runaway Four go in for eccentric
dancing and some clever tumbhng.
Paul Decker features himself in a
little slit called Doubt" in which a
newly wed husband proves to his
friend that marriage is not based upon
money. Mae Washburne and Dudley
Clements are in the cast.
Walter and Emily Walters are the
best ventriloquists on the American
stage. None approach them. The
crying baby stunt Of Miss Walters is
a masterpiece. Fine act. Berk and
Saun close the show in a dance offer
ing. Van Cello and Mary open the
bill with Foot Feats."
Aunt Jemima and her Syncopated
bakers disappointed me. It seems that
some one has missed a chance of de-
hvering knockout act. AS it stands,
it fails to make the best of the oppor-
tunity. It seems the fault rests in
the choice of songs used by Jemima.
You rather expect a jazz shoutin'
singer, and instead you get a careful
singer. I ask you to have your own
opinion regarding this act. I may be
all wrong on it
All comedy bills are favorites in this
city. Should be an easy winner,

and clever lines
There is some good harmony in this
act, with the help Of ukaleles in one
bit. And the songs are new and en-
tertaining. One OF them was written
by Miss Garfield. This act has many
good laughs, and stopped the show
yesterday afternoon.
The Springtime Review is a big act,

Madelon and Paula Miller deserve
a better place on the bill. as they have

Now We Say Loudly Lyric
Has a Real Variety Show

There are three reasons for visiting
the Lyric this week
The reasons are:
1. Janet Adler and her female jazz
orchestra. Here is a blues playing
crowd which is the real article. A
papa" song. which is the rage these
days. helps to make this act a popu-
lar hit. They stopped the show and
it couldn't proceed until they re-
spOnded to an encore when I was
present. Act beautifully mounted
Gets hand on merit of scenery the
second the curtain goes up.
2. Dobbs. Clark and Dare in ''Vaude-
vile Remnants" Here is a classic in
slau-stick material The opening num-
Der reminds one of the old Bowery
days in New York. A personality
triumph. :
3. Latell and Vokes in THE Pup
Laten in his dog characterization has
been seen in this city before This
act is a surefire luagh-getting act.
He stands at the very height of his
profession in his class of work. Also
stops the show.
I probably should say a few more
words about Miss Adler and her play
ers. These women use all the tricks
and expressions of the men in other
jazz playing orchestras. The drum
mer is quite an active person. The
saxophone group of this organization
IS splendid.
Warman and Mack use the piano to
effect. They dc not go in for comedy
but rely upon the text Of their songs.
the piano playing ability of one of
the men and the dancing feet of the
other to put the act over.
A blackface comedian and a jug
gIer, introduced under the title of Roy
and Arthur in "In China" closes the
bill. These men are comedy china
plate jugglers. Enough chinaware is
broken up in this act to start a china
store. Good for real laughs.

Test This Ont
For Yours SELF

r EANY people who drink coffee
4V1 regularly are troubled with in
somnia; or they feel nervous, head
achy," or suffer from indigestion.
1t may be hard for such men and
women to believe that coffee is respon-
sible for the way they feel. Because
they have always drunk coffee, it
hardly seems possible that this old
habit could cause trouble.
But there is one sure way to find
out whether coffee is harming you.
Just stop its use for week or SO, and
drink Postum.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage
absolutely free from caffeine, the drug
in coffee, which disturbs the health
and comfort of many.
After a week or two on Postum,
you will sleep better and feel better;
then your own good judgment should
decide whether you go back to coffee
or continue on the Road to Wellville
with Postum.

SCOTT CATCHES A FISH
An Old Story But n Good One, which
Is Told OF Col. Walter Scott
OF scamp Scott, Moose
River

Walter Scott, of the Robert Fulton
Monument Association, and MARCEL
kahle, president of George Borgfeldt
& Co., caught trout in Moosehead
Lake weighing six and one-half
pounds, and they can prove it. AM
dayits accompanied the announce
ment. In the mouth of their catch
they discovered another fish, and they
can prove that. But that is not all,
Tor in the stomach of their trout
they found another smaller fish of
the same kind measuring about nine
inches, several more small fish and
full size hens egg in the shell.
1t was matter of speculation just
how the trout managed to get the
hens egg. 1t was suggested by one
of the fishing party that the trout,
being SO large and game, had wander
ed into a barnyard and, after a des-
perate fight with chicken, had sue
ceeded in Selling the egg and beat
ing hurried retreat. One OF the
guides volunteered the information
that in his part of the country-he
came from Missouri was a COM
nun blSHl u See trout COIile dSuOi Z
and steal eggs, and that one time
they got to be such nuisance the
farmers had to set trout traps In their
chicken coops.
Up around Moosehead Lake. 1t is
said, the trout have a peculiar Gus
tom. This story was told by a MEM
Der of the party who does not be-
lieve that trout can wander around
on dry land. He said that from in
fancy trout are trained to lie on the
top of the water and watch for birds
flying over their. heads It>is COM
mon, he says, for hens to fly across
the water and drop eggs, and he said
that there is sort of rivalry among
the trout as to which one can catch
the most eggs without breaking the
shells.
When Mr.. Scott was asked yester-
day if the story of the trout was true
he said: why, certainly l can
prove it. Here is the pole that
caught him with"
