GeraIdine's Daddy To Join Her In Alabama For A Thanksgiving Dinner

Sid Farrar, known to thousands of baseball fans as one of the main stays of the Boston Braves team many years ago. is coming to Bir- mingham. Thanksgiving Day to hear a concert.
 Especial interest will be attached to this concert for Mir. Farrar, for the reason that the person who is giving the concert Is his daughter, Geraldine Farrar, world famed prima donna, and for Is years of the Metro- politan opera.
 Miss Marjorie Ketrick, private sec retary to Gelardine Farrar, who Is in Birmingham making advance ar engagements for the appearance of the celebrated diva at the Masonic temple auditorium here, received news Wednesday that MT. Farrar was coming all the way from his farm in Connecticut, in order to be with his daughter on Thanksgiving Day.
 Miss Ketrick said the beloved opera singer had met with enthusiastic ac- claim in every city where. her pres ent tour has taken her She has vis- tied cities In Pennsylvania. Ohio and other middle western states, and Is now in Wyoming. Miss Farrar seV- cred her connection with the Metro politan opera season before last, saic Miss Ketrick, because she wanted to travel and meet face. to face the nl--' lions of people who had heard hei voice only through phonograph rec ords and who had seen her only or the motion picture screen.
 Miss Farrar enjoys concert sing ing more than opera" said Miss Ket- rick. "She believes it demands greater artistry, because a concert singer must forego the advantage of makeup. and costume and scenery and orchestral reinforcement. Con cert interpretations require greater

GRIM FIGHT TO FINISH TO
 BE WAGED ON MAIL FRAUDS

practically wipe out the mail fraud game, which has been costing thou sands of people very dearly Tn the last two years. The prosecutions al- ready secured have put scare in fake promoters and stopped the swindling temporarily. There are not many current complaints coming through. though we are receiving a few for frauds perpetrated some months back"
 Grim was greatly elated over the which was one of the largest turned up by special investigators of the postoffice department and depart ment of justice. It has been tonic which will stir up prosecuting agen- cies throughout the country, he says.
 Success of the Cook case is one of the outstanding steps In 8 gigantic legal task which has occupied the postoffice department and the de- partment of justice for several months, and has confronted many obstacles, among which was political pressure. The campaign was mapped out in a conference here with Grim, and in other conferences In the field, which Grim attended.
 There never had been any honest effort to enforce the law against fake promoters" Grim declared. There were indictments at various times, but few prosecutions were secured.
 When we went into this campaign we had great deal of difficulty in breaking through political machinery at various places"
 Grim was even visited in his of flee here by those who were trying to get rid of especially active prose- cutting attorneys, who were getting results, he said

histrionic ability for that reason, and an artist must only rely upon voice and personality, deprived of all other extraneous aids.
 Added interest attaches to Miss Farrars concert appearances because she is one of the very few American girls who became celebrated as oper- atic singers. Many people think that Mary Garden is an American girl but she isn't-she is. Scotch. Miss Farrar was born in Massacht" setts, and her father, as everyone knows, was an American before her and is still, happily"
 Asked what was considered Miss Farrar's favorite operatic role, Miss Ketrick said she had no favorite, put loved them all. She attained her greatest popularity in the role of Madame Butterfly.
 Miss Farrar's popularity with young people, particularly, has be- come proverbial," said Miss Ketrick. 50 many youthful opera lovers were in evidence at the Metropolitan whenever Miss Farrar sang that a New York musical critic coined word for them-'Jerry- -Flappers which has found a permanent place in New York's lexicon"
 Miss KeEick had word of praise for Mrs. Ro F. Johnston and Mrs. Or line Arnold Shipman, whose enter prise in successfully maintaining the All Star Concert series for the past several seasons in Birmingham, sne said, had gained the attention ana approval of all managers and artists with headquarters in New York.
 "The All-Star Concert series se- cured for Birmingham this year IS one of the most remarkable lists oi attractions that any city ever hao' said Miss Ketrick.

"MUDDY"LOOKINC
 SKIN IS CAUSED
 BY CLOCCED PORES
"Throush the eyes, the robber Love Steals in, and takes the heart by sur
 prise." .,

Not so long ago a renowned skin authority despairingly said, Show me A person who has ugly blackheads in their face and neck, and their skin looks muddy and I'll show you one who is either careless or lazy. Such people simply wash with soap and water, and think they are getting their face, neck, arms and hands clean, when they are only cleaning the sur face. Soap and water won't get into the pores and glands and clean out the accumulation of dust and grease. It tkes a cleansing cream like that which bears the Black and White label"
 The reason for this statement is that Black and White Cleansing Cream has proven it's merit beyond any question of doubt, in serving the purpose or keeping the tiny pores and glands Of exposed skin clean of all Instructions to their natural function of necessary perspiration which carries off impuri- ties from the system. When this is interfered with the accumulation in the pores from within and without causes blackheads, and "dingy" looking skin.
 Only the enormous production of the famous Black and White Beauty Crea- tions makes it possible for your dealer to sell you Black and White Cleansing Cream at 25c and 50c; Black and White Peroxide Cream at 25c; Face Powder at 25c and BOG; Rouge, 25c; Cold Cream at 25c and 50c, etc.

ELLIS ISLAND YIELDS
TO RESOURCEFUL ARTIST

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Vartan
Kazikian, an Armenian refugee, ar.
rived at Ellis Island from the steam
ship Madonna a few weeks ago and
found he probably would be barred
because the Armenian quota already
had been filled. He said he was an
artist and claimed exemption, but
the board of inquiry was skeptical
and turned him down.
He went back to the detention
rooms and drew pen and ink pic
lures of the members of the board
who had just voted to send him
back to Europe. He sent the board
the picture, obtained a rehearing,
and word came from Washington
that he evidently was an artist and
as such could be admitted.
kaZikian said he had studied in
Paris and Buenos Aires.

ATTUCK GIVES
fine PIANO
RECITAL
Bach, Chopin, and the Works
OF Modern Impressionist
Finn Make Up Program.
:3::;:

Said a young musician: each al.
most always opens the program OF
a piano recital. Is this because he
is unsurpassed in the writing OF
polyphonic music?'
Whatever the reason. the Bach
opening rule was followed again last
night by Arthur Shattuck, soloist of
the master pianists' series being
given by T. Arthur Smith.
Shattuck played at the Masonic
auditorium. Practically every seal
was sold out in advance. The audi.
ence was enthusiastic, especially
over the rendition Of the March of
the Wooden Soldiers. They forced
Shattuck to play this twice.
Again, when the program was
ended. they called him back, nor
would the applause stop until he
reseated himself at the piano. Fl.
nally he played Emil Sauer's 1.-THE
Music Box" as an encore.
1t was a carefully thought out
program that Shattuck rendered.
The rather heavy, serious Bach, of
the first part counterbalancing the
brilliant lghtness of Chopin, which
comprised the second part. The
third part was what is known as
program music'-that is to say.
music which is designed to tell a
story.
There are those who will claim
all music tells story, but this is
not the case. Some appeals simply
and solely to the emotions. 1t
makes one gay, or sad, or senti-
mental, as the case may be. Other

This List number, incidentally
was perhaps Shattucks best mum.
Der, although his Chopin group was
also received with acclaim. So, too
were two works of Palmgren, an
impressionistic Finn, who is now
living in America. Shattuck played
his Bird Song and his isle OF
Shadows"
In the Bird Song" a peculiar
bird-like quality of tone is gained
by keeping the hands in unison
and three octaves apart most of the
time. The result suggests, rather
than initiates. the birds song. In
the Isle of Shadows" there are nc
measures, leaving the artist free
to give his music the vague char.
acter which the title suggests.
Chopin's waltz in d flat was en-
Enthusiastically received. The popu
lar waltz song, Castle of Dreams. u
from the comic opera "Irene," was
almost lifted from this work of the
dead master.
Shattuck evidently loves his
Chopin, for he interprets him we'll
He makes the most of every ro
mantle, emotional tone phrase.
Again the artist made the most
Of his opportunity in the closing
numbers. Goossens March of the
Wooden Soldiers" and Palmgren's
works, both of which have already
been mentioned, came in striking
relief and gave the necessary light
touch after the heavy Brahms
which preceded them and the intri-
cate List which followed.
All told, the entire program
closely approached a triumph. Shat
tuck has technique, good stage
presence and pleasing personality.
Musical Washington likes him
and they showed it.
