Miss Alice Eversman, dramatic So

Women's Society Of the First Baptist
Church, has made many Of her

songs.
Several years ago, she wrote q
new English libretto, based on a
Chinese subject, originally used by
Cesar Cut, the great Russian COM
poser, who composed to it a de-
Iightful one-act opera. The opera
was sung in Russian at the imperial
palace OF the Russian Car at a
private entertainment. 1t was one
OF those Nbrettos which lacked &C.
ton, and whose words had little or
no meaning. While the plot was
most attractive and the music melO-
dious and characteristic, most Of 1t
was lost because Of the absence of
strong and forceful delineation OF
each character.
Miss Eversman wrote in English
verse, having to comply with the
difficult task Of hitting the whole TO
music. The results were most graft.

opera was assured at its first pro.

Involves a sale of combined radio

to combine the best features Of
radio and the photograph in q
single instrument.
Under the contract recently con-
cluded, the photograph company
gains the right to install Radiola
receiving sets in combination with
Brunswick monographs. In turn,
the monograph company will add
its share to the public service now
rendered by the principal broad
casting stations, and will aid in
the developement Of the free broad
casting to the public by permitting
the stations Of the Radio Corporation
Of American and those of its manu-
featuring association, to broadcast
from the laboratories Of the Bruins
wick Company during the period
when it's artists are recording for
monograph reproduction and to en-
courage those artists to aid the
program at other times as well.
The areas that will benefit par
are those served by the broadcasting
stations Of the Radio Corporation

Company; the Westinghouse Manu-
featuring Company, in New York,
