Concerts by John Charles

One loses consciousness of being
at formal concert hall the mo-
ment John Charles Thomas, barry

remarkable ease and winning per
sonality suggest the delightful in
formality of the drawing room. Ihis
popular vocalist will be presented
by T. Arthur Smith, Inc, at the
National Theater this afternoon at
4:30 o'clock as the fourth artist in
the star concert series.
It is not surprising that Mr.
Thomas should feel at home on the
stage, when ore remembers that
during the past ten years he has
| made more than 5000 public APP
pearances-an average of 300
/ wear. Sixty concerts per year is
| considered by most grand opera and
concert singers 10 be a very fair
average. Therefore, comparatively
speaking, John Charles THONGS
has, at the age of thirty-one, the
advantage of having the experience
of a man of seventy.
The program TO be presented by
Mr.. Thomas today will be as fol-

worth that much. But Gallo has
done the impossible. He has staged
opera of the standard of the Met
ropolitan and Chicago opera, and
popularized the prices.
People who do not understand
wonder how he did it. Those
who know realize how simple it
was. The Metropolitan and Chicago
are subsidized companies, and al
ways that type of organization
is not so careful about the pen
MES as the private individual.
Gallo said: Il will get good
singers, good musicians, good dane
ers. 1 will buy good costumes,
good scenery. Then / will re-
aearse them into a fine, inter:
esting company. l shall not spend
$4,000 a night for one voice, nor
throw away 100000 on some seen
erv which. 1 might use only once
a season. I will be conservative.
will produce standard operas,
which I can produce all the time
and engage fine artists on con-
tract, guaranteeing them long sea-
sons. The result is bound to
lie good"
The result is this: In the Wash
ington season of grand opera there
are eighty members of the COM
pany. The Pavley Oukraninsky
ballet of thirty appears. The or
chestra is of symphony proper
tions. The artists are true stars.

donna. So ON down the list.

Fortune Gallo Broke Down

Love of Music.

How can we make grand opera

One way the question has been
answered has been by Fortune
Gallo, the famous impresario of
the San Carlo Opera Company,
which is coming to Polls No
vember 26 to December 1.
Fortune Gallo has made grand
opera popular by making popular
prices. Thousands who could not
afford the $3.50 per seat at the
Metropolitan Opera House in New
York City could afford the $1.O0
TO $3.50 which Fortune Gallo made
his scale of prices.
But Gallo was not the first
man to make grand opera at
these prices. Others who did il
gave grand opera which was not

OLD GRANARY BURYINC
GROUND
BY T. T. Maxey

Within the confines of the older
(eastern) states OF this Union there
are many ancient, quaint. and hallowed
burying grounds, most Of which close
ly surround or adjoin q much-loved
chapel or meeting house. Among the
most interesting OF these Is that
precious plot Of ground known as Old
Granary Burying Ground. near the
present business center in the city Of
Boston.
The town granary once stood on this
site-hence this peculiar name. The
burying ground was established about
the year 1910.
Within this weli-kept enclosure which
Is surrounded by an imposing protec-
tive fence, lie the remains OF three
signers OF the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence. nine governors, Peter Faneuil.

presented the city the famous hall
which bears his name; Paul Revere.
that patriot who. on April is. IT'S,
warned his country of the marching
OF the British troops towards Lexing-
ton and Concord. and other notables Of
their time.
Probably the most conspicuous head
stone that graces the shaded covering
of the departed is that erected by Ben
Jamin Franklin. the most important
literary man Of his day. in loving tyib-
ute to the memory Of his father, Jo-
siah, and his mother. Abiah.
An outstanding feature OF the plot
are a number Of almost-a-century-o old
elm trees which cast their shadows
over this resting place.
The epitaphs on many Of the stones
which mark these ancient graves are
quaint. indeed, and peculiar In the
light OF present-day custom. An un-
usual one reads:
Here lyeth ys body OF John Downing.

(. The spectacle OF a public official in
Minnesota burning his political bridg.
es behind him before he enters the
field for another political office, is so
unusual that It Is bound to attract at.
tention.
Yet that is JUST what Oscar Hallam.
q distinguished turist and associate
Judge OF the Minnesota Supreme
Court. has done.
At the Republican state convention
In 1922 Mr.. Hallam was a candidate
for the nomination against the then
Junior United States senator, Frank
Kellogg. The convention named Mr..
Kellogg and Judge Hallam showed his
bigness. When called upon to address
the delegates he pledged his support
TO his successful rival. (This pledge
he carried out faithfully
Following the death Ss Senator
Knute Nelson. Mr. Hallam's friends In
sisted that he should again enter the
field as q candidate. The calling OF
the special election by Gov. Preus
cleared the way and he has laid aside
the ermine OF the Supreme Court and
has filed as q Republican candidate
for the senate.
Mr. Hallam was born on q farm at
Linden. Wis. Oct 10. 1855. He re-
ceived a common school education and
In 1882 he entered the University OF
Wisconsin to take up the study OF Law.

where he has since resided. He be-
came District Judge OF Ramsey coun.
~ Jan. 1. 1905. and was named as a
nonpartisan candidate for associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court In 1912.
He was reelected for a second full
term of six years In November, 1918.
Judge Hallam's record both on the
district and supreme bench ranks very
high. His decisions have been Just TO
labor and fair to capital.
The statement given the public on
his decision to become q candidate for
the United States senate is character.
istic OF the man.
A summary OF this statement says:
Il shall work;
ITO secure the reduction of the bur
den OF taxation to the lowest level con-
sistent with the proper conduct OF gov
eminent and for the elimination OF
pork barrel methods OF finance; to Sc
cure a better adjustment of the bur-
