CAPOUILLIEZ DELIGHTS
 AUDIENCE AT RECITAL SPONSORED BY U. D. c.

Francois Capouilliez, the basso cantante, rendered a difficult classi- cal program in a manner deserving of better audience in the ball room of the Tutwiler hotel Saturday night, the recital being under the auspices of the Pelham chapter of the United Daughters of the Confed- eracy. The small group who braved the cold rain were well rewarded for their devotion.
 The earlier numbers on the pro- gram were taken from Tschaikow sky, Moussorsky, Kjerulf, A. Walter Kramer, Charles P. Scott, Phillip James and other lesser prophets. The Russian music was superbly inter preted Only an artist could have brought out the play of emotion sug gested by Tschaiowsky's music, to- gether with the ever present. sug- gestion of chilly summer and per petua1 ringing of Troika bells.
 Miss Lillian Pringle, cellist, ex- hibited wonderful reserve of tech nique contrary to the popular con ception of the kind of music to be drawn from the cello. More popular and melodious were the selections played by Miss Gyllenberg on the piano. She gave the Water Lily of Mcdowell with the delicacy and abandon necessary to a proper in- depreciation of that daintiest of all piano selections. The audience was generous in it's applause.
 That the audience was apprecia- tive was emphatically demonstrated after her rendition of Turkey in the Straw" Bach is always a dry and mathematical number fer the piano. but Miss Pringle's interpretation of the Arioso of Bach on the cello was beautiful from every standpoint. All the numbers rendered reflected the Splendid technique of the artists and were remarkable for grace and flex- ibility, both in execution and in-

LYTTON BEFORE CONAN DOYLE
EarIy-vlctorlan Novelist a Student OF
tho Occult Something Like a
Century Ago.

Bulwer-Lytton, the eccentric, pre-
ceded Sir Conan Doyle by more than
half century In the field Of letters to
the regions of the occult. Says an old
copy of Blackwood's Magazine, quoted
In the Detroit News: occult studies
comprising the magic ancient times as
well as the splrituallsm Of the present
had great charm for him, and he en-
tered on them with the earnestness
which marked the pursuit Of less mys-
FERROUS knowledge. He dived into wiz
ard lore. equipped himself with mag
ical instruments, rods for transmitting
influence, and crystal balls In which to
discern coming scenes and persons,
and communed with mediums and spir-
ituallsts. There can be little doubt,
whatever faith he might have In par
ticular manifestations, he believed In
certain occult powers Of nature, to deal
with which is the object Of these mys-
terious arts. On more than one occa-
sion we have known him to dilate on
such themes with great copiousness Of
knowledge and apparent truthfulness
In the reality Of the marvels."
