 Studded with rare and beautiful gems of melody. "The Desert Song" was played last night at Parsons theater, Hartford, before an audi cnce which threatened several times to rise in it's seats in wild enthusi- asm. Lavish in all ingredients of an evenings entertainment, includ- ing singing, ensemble dancing. set tings and acting, 1t was proclaimed by regular theatergoers as the mas terpiece of its type.
 All who have been associated in it's production have caught the spirit of primitive North Africa and have invested it with the atmosphere of the untamed life in that part of the setting gorgeous, the story interest ing.
 Sigmund Romberg, who composed the score, has gone even beyond the point reached in his previous suc- cesses. This prolific Romberg seems to be ever climbing toward better things. No stopping him. Songs by the male chorus roll out like the undulating Sahara. Solos, duets and trios follow one another rapidly. Song is the backbone of the play. Romance" T Want a Kiss" The Desert Song" "One Alone" all of operatic calibre, are outstanding numbers.
 Ethel Louise Wright makes a charming appearance in the role of Margot, around whom the plot whirls. Robert Halliday is a con- vincing Red Shadow William O'Neal ranks among the principals as Sid Fl kar. the Red Shadows" lieutenant. Edmund Elton who will be remembered for his splendid roles with the Hunter-Bradford Players and the Poli Stock company in Hartford. makes an impressive fig ure in the character of General Bira- beau. governor Of the French Mo- roccan province Where the locale ts laid On the slender shoulders of Eddie Buzzell and Sally Sloan rests a heavy assignment of comedy. an assignment which they discharge delightfully."-. Philip Ryder is an im- posing Riffian caid. 1ngeborg Tor rup and Amy Atkinson lend color with their interpretation of native dancing girl and a Spanish lady respectively.
 Credit should be given the chorus, male and female for the manner il. which 1t executes its ensemble danc- ing and singing numbers. "The Desert Song will be sung again tonight and tomorrow night Matinee on Wednesday, as usual.

MRS. SHAVER SPEAKS OUT

The outburst of Mrs. Glen L.
Shaver, wife of the Democratic ma
tional chairman, against Governor
Smith and the dry leaders who are
following him is evidence of the di-
vision that remains in the party IN
spite of the surface unity that was
achieved in the national convention.
Undoubtedly such expressions as
this from Mrs. Shaver and others
that are bound to come from time to
time at the Asheville conference and
elsewhere, will tend to disturb the
united front which the Democratic
leaders are DESTROYS of maintaining
Governor Smith has real job on his
hands to hold the drys of his party
in line, and especially the dry women
whom Mrs. Shaver is seeking to
arouse.
1t has been accepted that women
will play a greater part in the COM
ing campaign than ever before. Mrs.
Shaver's course indicates, at least,
that some women politicians are not
going to be bound by their leaders,
or even by their husbands, whose
leadership may cease at the domestic
threshold. Evidently a man is not
necessarily chairman of his own
household simply because he is chair
man of the national committee of his
party.

COURAGE

W
In a village in New York State, :
learned to love and admire one of the
most heroic saints who ever lived.
For dozen years she had suffered
from malignant form of arthritis
deformans. For many years she had
been a bed-ridden invalid. Not for a
moment was she free from shoulder
ing pain. When they moved her, her
joints creaked like rusty hinges. For
her, each day was an eternity of tor
ture.
Yet all who saw her she greeted
with a smile and a CHEEKY word. No
single murmur of complaint escaped
her lips. Il have so much to be thank
full for" she used to say to me.
could see nothing in her life for which
she should be thankful; but she was
conscious of something that was
hidden from the eyes of the world
Perhaps the secret of her life was
revealed in her favorite Scripture
text: "Be strong and of good cour-
age, fear not nor be afraid; for the
Lord thy God, he it is that doth go
with thee; he will not fail thee nor
forsake thee" (Deut. 31:6.)
The hymn that she loved was:
He leads US on by paths we do not
know;
Upward He leads us though our steps
be slow;
Though oft we faint and falter by the
way,
Though storms and darkness oft OBJ
scure the day,
Yet when the clouds are gone,
We know He leads us on.
He leads US on through all the un-
quiet years;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and
doubts, and fears
He guides our steps through all the
tangled maze
vi lOSSeS, SOIIOWS, anu eICIOuueu
days
We know His will is done,
And still He leads US on.
And He, at last, after the weary
strife,
After the restless fever we call life,
After the >dreariness, the aching pain,
The hayward struggles which have
proved in vain,
After our tolls are passed,
VIII give us rest, at last.
