GOVERNORS DAUGHTER
A SINGER OF MERIT

In recent issue of the Musical
Courier the following comment is
given on the voice of Mrs. James F..
Alston of Tuscaloosa, the daughter
of Gov. and Mrs. w. w. Brandon:
TT is said that Mr.. Juillard, a for
mer director of the Metropolitan
Opera company, mentioned in his will
as his reason for leaving an estate
valued at nearly 100000 for the
development of music in these United
S<ates, that in his opinion music was
the Biggest factor for good in the
world.
1.-THE opinion of one who had the
tact, courage and ability to anass so
huge a fortune, must be respected
and taken into consideration. Wheth-
er Mr.. billiards ideas on this sub
ject are correct or not, the daughter
of the newly elected governor OF
Alabama shares them, and intends
doing her part in spreading this in
fluence for good throughout het
state, through the medium of her
beautiful voice.
Mrs. James f. Aston is a true
daughter of the south, and has some
thing more than voice to offer, for
she is an artist of culture. refinement
and personal attractiveness. All her
life a student of music being drawn
only by the beautiful and elevating,
she spent many seasons, as a young
girl in New York with the best sing
ing masters.
Last summer, she was one of the
class of students of Maine, taught by
an eminent New York vocal instruc-
tor, whose studio there is center
of musical activities of the great
metropolis.
her time and art, appearing In Bir-
mingham and other cities in Ala
bama; in private and public music,
during the winter and spring.
Colonel Brandon may well take
pride in his daughters accomplish
ments, which, combined with her
charming personality, will add much
to the attractiveness of the social
functions of the executive mansion"

dances and songs. Miss Shirley has
beautiful voice. and uses 1t with
skill In songs of a popular vein. She
was given a hearty reception. Little
need be said of Prof. Adlers orches-
ira. as 1t has been before the public
long enough to establish the reputa-
ton of being one of the best in the
two-a-day. Encores and curtain calls
were numerous after the act had

Emma Haig was one of the original
members of Irving Berlin's Music
Box Revue but an accident at the
opening of the show put her in a
hospital for six months, and 1t was
thought she was through forever as
performer. Great grit and nerve,
however, pulled the little woman
through, and she is once more back
to her first love--vaudeville. She has

one of the best condolences in vaude-
vile. Last night she gave an exhibit
