himself all over as if in search of his
card case. "Just say Mister Mugs
and Nancy and Nick, please"
So they followed the man to the
door of the drawing room and there
he stopped calling loudly, mister
Mugs, Nancy and Nick.
And then, with his nose sticking up
in the air like the spout of a tea
pot, he marched off, leaving the
three visitors in the doorway with
everybody staring at them.
Jack saw them at that minute and
rushed over. Hello, people,. he
cried. I'm ever so glad to see Won.

Claire Dux, prima donna soprano, ap-

charming singer was as triumphant upon
this occasion as at her previous ap-

Miss Dux, who made a most attrac-

artistry with rare personal charm. Her
voice was true and pure and luscious,
equalized throughout its entire scale, and
enhanced by technical perfection. With
her usutal graciousness, she added gen.

She sang an opening group of classics
from Mozart and Gordigiano, interpret
ing them with fine taste and feeling.

Tuneful Schubert Opera
Scores On Fourth
Visit Here

On the wings of the same haunting
melodies that made it so popular on its
three visit to Birmingham last year,
Blossom Time" came back Monday
night and opened a weeks engagement
by winning the complete approval of
an audience that packed the Jefferson
theater.
1t is beautiful musical play under
direction of Messrs. Shubert. Its
theme is the life of. Franz Schubert,
with the composers best-known melo-
dies found in the score.
Careful casting is readily apparent
it is said it took a year to cast the
several companies presenting the story
of Schubert's love.
Blossom Time is written around a
reported love affair between Schubert
and one of his pupils.
The story opens in Vienna cafe in
1926, two years before Schubert's death
at the age of 81 The drawing room in
Vienna home and Schubert's lodg-
ings form the background for the rest
of the action.
Joseph Mendelsohn, who sings the
role of Schubert, has wonderful BARI
tone voice, and his filling of the part
seems inspired. He fills capably the
place of Greek Evans, who came south
with the play last year. Eliz Gergely
is dainty miss as "Mitzi," Schubert's
hopeless love. The combination of Mr..
Mendelsohn and Miss Gergely in the
"Song of Love-" set to the music of
Schubert's delicate Unfinished Sym
phony," was the high point of the play.
"Tell me, Daisy" was another tune
full duet by this pair.

matinee idol, has an excellent tenor to

Is Announced
(By Associated Pressl /

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 24.-Sena-
tor Smith w. Brookhart tonight had
the official certificate of the election
approved by the state executive coun-
Gil following the finding of that body
today that the senator received 755
more votes in the November a elections
than did his democratic opponent, Dan
iel +. Steck.
The election certificate, which en-
titles the senator to the senate seat,
saw late today. Senator Brookhart re-
ceived it personally, having spent the
day at the state capitol where the coun-
ell made its check Of the county can
vases.
The official figures in the senatorial
contest as given out by the executive
council were:
Brookhart 1905; steck 446,951.
The councils check recorded five
more votes for Brookharts than the un-
official figures compiled by The As
ISOLATED Press.
The senator does not expect to bring
out any new legislation during the short
session, he told friends, but would sup
port any measure designed to relieve
agriculture" whether it was proposed
by the presidents farm commission or
any legislator. The senator added that
he was sorry" none of the commission
members were from this part of the
country"
OF the recent election, Senator
Brookhart said he felt certain the check
made by the executive council today was
authentic and final. A contest by his
opponents will only strengthen his own
position, Senator Brookhart told
friends. He was of the opinion that the
number of arrow ballots" said by
some persons to be sufficient to throw
the election in favor Of Steck, was
negligible
