and theatrical circles, who is also
one of the end men, and Charles
Dunn and Carleton Fry are the
musical directors. Charles D.
Shackelford. captain of the Kallip-
oils Grotto Drill Corps is a most
efficient interlocutor, and the four
end men, Chester Crawford, Billy
Neal, Ed. Howard and Chick God
frey compare favorably with many
professional dispensers Of black
face humor a la Lew Dockstader.
The famous Mohawk Quartet is
the added attraction and it's "Ten
Minutes of Harmony" will be one
Of the most enjoyable spots on a
program dotted with features.
Edgar r. Kidwell.. Washington

who has been enjoyed by thousands
of radio fans, will also be featured.

is one Of the soloists, and there are
other features, including chorus of
forty that can really sing.

electrical display will compare
favorably with that offered by
Washington's leading theaters.
The attention Of the public Il
especially directed to a patriotic
finale by the entire company en-
titled Lest We Forget the Martyrd
Lincoln" In this feature of the
entertainment Abraham Lincoln il
portrayed by Eugene b. Perry

studied Interpretation and has ap
peared at many local functions iI

to an entertainment on the eve Of
Lincoln's birthday.

will furnish the music and there
will be dancing after the show.

BY D, C., MAN, GOES BIG

ooh, Maggie" the song recently
written and published by L. z.
Phillips, director of The Washing
ton Times and Herald Band, and a
prominent Washington musician
and composer, is sweeping the coun-
try, according to Geographic and
written accounts received by the
local song writer.
M. E. Keiser, director Of Thomp.
sons Pyramid Six, Of Murphysboro,
ILL.,, is the6iatest to offer his con-
gratulations to Mr.. Phillips. He
says
I'VE fell in love with Maggie,
and not wishing to be selfish, We
introduced her to our dancing
friends. who proclaimed the song a
big hit. Why? Because it was
played and encored ten times, and
still the dancers called for more.
This is a singing orchestra, and
two members took the parts of
Maggie and Jiggs and it was hot!
We will keep this number in our
repertoire for quite a while. If you
have any more contagious numbers,
don't forget us?"

PAYS
OWN TRIBUTE
To WILSON
Greatest of vioIinists" AWes
Hearers With Dyorak's
Going Home"
By WILLIAM MOORE.

f. A dimly-lit stage. A glittering
back-curtain, fairly shrieking its
spangled allurement. A man with
a fiddle.
The man looks with eyes tinged
with sadness over the. vast sea of
faces before him. He hears the
surge of applause which quickly
GIBBS away into breathless silence
as he raises the fiddle to his chin.
The bow is poised. String meets
bow. The man forgets the adula-
ton of the crowd. He has but one
thought, one aim: ITO play-play
my tribute to the great statesman
they are burying today"
The inspired strains of Dvorak's
Going Home" breathe over the
audience like a. prayer. There is a
catch in the breath-a lump in the
throat-a. tear in the eye as the
hast phrase rings out in triumph
triumph even over death and the
grave.
Fritz KreisIer's Tribute.
This was Fritz Kreisler's tribute
to the memory of former President
Woodrow Wilson yesterday after
noon. It was just another reason
why people acclaim Kreisler the
greatest of Violinists." Just
another reason why hundreds Of
persons stood throughout the long
concert because there were not
enough seats to go around.
1t was not a funeral dirge that
Kreisler played. 1t was a paean
of victory for the man who had
fought the good fight" and had
passed on to his reward. I dare
say that out of the thousands Of
kilograms, letters and personally
expressed condolences there was
not a message couched in greater
tenderness than the musical message
Of Fritz Kreisler.
KreiSler told the critics after the
performance that he was undecided
whether or not to" give the con-
cert, and it was only through tho
insistent demands of the pubic
that he consented.
With every appearance in the
Nations Capital, Fritz Kreisler's
artistry and personal charm become
more deeply Ientwined in the neart
strings of Washington music lovers.
1t Is not only his technical ability
that astounds his auditors, but 1t
is his wonderful personality and
humblenesS of demeanor that fin1
| the responsive chord in our being.
Critics Enjoy Kreisler.
What did he play? 1t matters
not what he played. Critics, ever
on the lookout for technical errors,
watchfully waiting to pounce upon
some phrase that appears a bit off
its course, always settle back com.
fortably in their seats with n<air
of blissful assurance and abandon
themselves to utter enjoyment
when Kreisler plays.
To me, the Tschaikovsky con.
certo was a thing of beauty, with
it's whims and moods-yet subrly
brushed with the hand of Melaa-
choly. AS Kreisler was in the midst
of this work the faint reverbera-
tions of guns, the army's salute
to the memory Of the departed war
President, formed a striking con-
trast to the soft-stringed music.
What else did he play? Oh, yes.
there was the Cesar Franck A
major sonata, Porpora's "Minuet,"
Tartini's Variations, Chopin's
"Mazurka," and Paderewski's "Mel.
ode" and-but why continue? 1t
was not so much what he played
as how he played.
