The threat came in a letter which
Captain Jacobs has forwarded to
Washington asking officials there to

Other letters have been received,
he said, threatening to disable the dry

NORD|CA CLUBS:
GIVE ANNUAL
CONCERT
Walter T. Holt Is Credited by
Critic With Blazing New
Trail in Music
By JESSIE MacBRIDE.

One of the most interesting
things in Washington music IL
the high degree of really symphonic
values that Walter T. Holt has OBJ
tanned with his unique orchestra,
the "Nordica Mandolin and Guitar
Orchestra" Last evening the ball
room of the Raleigh Hotel was
filled for the twenty-sixth annual
concert of the "Nordica Clubs.
The real musicianship Of Mr..
Holt has attained this thing. He
is always a surprise. Last evening
the orchestra's rendition Of selec.
tons from Mascagni's "CaVaileria
Rusticana," including the famous
"Intermezzo, held all the dramatic
values of color and tone qualities
that individualize this score. The
Serenade, the Santuzza and the
Lola arias, besides the choral eff.
fects, were artistically complete. In
this lighter orchestration-wnic TO
the uninitiated it may be interesting
to know, includes the equivalent OF
the real orchestra, with mando-
the other choirs of the orchestra.
Miss Peter Sings.
Ruth Peter, as soprano soloist,
also had the accompaniment of the
orchestra. Miss Peter is singing
beautifully, her voice showing a
youthful freshness, yet a cultiva-
ton that has taken her into concert
realms of the real artist. She gave
the Samson and Dalila aria, my
Heart at They Sweet Voice" ana
Tostis ''Serenata," with suavity
and taste and with a grace that
added to their charm. For encore
Miss Peter accompanied herself on
the mandolin in singing most ap-
pealingly annie Laurie"

and also composer and "arranger"

De Bard said the first hint OF the
impending disaster was given when
the Norman, which was not con-
structed as a passenger boat, took a
heavy list to the right side.
''The captain" said De Bard, "im-
mediately ordered the passengers to
divide up in even numbers on either
side OF the boat. AS soon as some
Of the passengers hurried to the
left side, the boat gave such a V1o-

II the ouinquennial of the In

accompllshes nothing else, 1t may
rest upon the fact that it has
furnished a lot Of happiness for
the newspaper folks who have
been attending the sessions.
The English delegates, espe-
ciallv. are the benefactors OF the
press in this regard. They think
the American reporter rather
crude. and their invariable pro-
test at the liberal newspaper
customs of this country is, But
that's not what the pressnen do

For instance, the report was
circulated yesterday that one Of
the Iadyships from Britain was

youngest and most energetic re-
porters set out to find the truth.
He encountered a close compan-

Madam" said the young man,
IF American newspapers, which
must be written and printed at
top speed, had to get permission
for everything they print, there
simply wouldn't be any papers"
But the preesmen In London
wouldn't dream OF doing such q
thing!"
There's another quinquennial
story about the two Pittsburgh
delegates with foreign names.
Another American representa-
tive. from the South, on learning
their names, complimented them
on their mastery Of the English
language and asked them what
country they hailed from. They
are now the two maddest dele
gates in the convention.
In a jewelry store on Fiji

Roland Robbins, the local vaude-
vile magnate, came on the scene.

Ed answered. You are always

good OF the cause, whatever the
cause may be-"
But this is something new, ;"
said Roland. THE doll is dressed
in a replica of the outfit OF Mrs.
Jimmy Barry, who is on the bill
next week. It was her idea.
Now, everyone who attends Keith's
next week will get q blank ballot
and vote for some child to get
it. And then we'll have g. draw
ing at the end Of the week."
Well, all we have to say is you
never can tell by q name on a
blank ballot. For ourself, Ye Ed
hopes that the name drawn will
be that Of some stern matron or
hard headed business man. There
are lots Of possibilities to this,
which we will watch with interest.
