When Georgetown goes mp
against New York University it
will meet i team which hassbeen
schooIed and drilled with amaz-
ing precision. Meehan has in-
stilled his charges with an ac-
curate sense of rhythm which
the entire squad maintains until
the bali carrier is free to make
his run or until any play is
completed
Here is@one play which may
beWiIder the Blue and Gray un-
til it gets used to its uncanny
prelude. Before signals are
called, the entire New York line
turns its back to guest team;
and as soon as the signals are
given, their line turns in unit
to face the opposition again, the
white helmets of the Violet
eleven revolving in synchronized
motion like so many gears
turned by the same shaft.
Quite a disconcerting move
lnent, we should say, being 'edal.
Gated in a very old-fashioned
football class, but one which
need strike no terror because its
flourish ii all over before the
play actually begins and before
which nothing counts.
On the first afternoon that
Meehan introduced Georgetown
plays to his varsity eleven, the
scrubs representing the invading
team, the latter scored. That's
encouraging news to Washing
tonians. If the scrubs could do
that, being only cheap imita-
tions of Georgetown, what do
you suppose the real article will
do tomorrow with those WELL
rehearsed plays clicking off
with the precision which has
been attained in daily practice
dating back to September !?

who said tremendous. There is
dramatic color and the mission of
song as Pardo does this number,
The number is gigantic, but it could
be just, ten, twenty and thirty rou-
tine, unless the artist who sings it
failed to bring into the personal
note Of pathos. Al Jolson told me
c'7ce on G. trunk in Evansville that
az comedy came from pathos and
that suffering came from life. That
is what this song is in the hands of
Pardo. Here is magnificent ex-
ample of the tragedy of dramatic
action as expressed in a song. Here
we have Pardo at his best, his most
sincere self. Here is man who
knows how to act a dramtic song
without getting too wild. He knows
that pathos comes from life.
The stage show has the services
of miss Indiana" and some of the
other girls who tried to get the same
honor. Pardo has a carefree way
about him in announcing the girls

says, '"This show is called Songs

also has a finale.

Ann Has 9.
Right to Be
Very Big
Indiana Girl Deserves to
Have the Very Best
Training,
BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

THERE is no way getting beyond
Il this point that Ann Kaufman
of Shelbyville has the right to have
the very best training possible in
this country and abroad that is pos
sible.
This is the most extreme verdict
that I can give after hearing this
young girl in her first concert Of
Importance.
Miss kaufman suggests the
promise of going even beyond lisa
Kramer when it comes to the songs
of the race. It was during "Yohr-
zeit" that we had the soul and the
great promise of the future.
There was so much soul and fine
dramatic feeling In this number
that one has the right to trust to
the future Of this singer. Just as
Mayor Slack told us yesterday
Shelbyville and all of US must not
forget the future Of Miss kaufman.
Here is a girl who should not now
go on the concert stage, but she
should be given the chance that
Marian Talley had. If it takes all
the Chamber Of Commerce of the
State; if it takes every Ona B. Tai
bot and every guy who writes an
editorial, and above every one who
can give one dollar, this girl should
be given a chance.
Suppose that every man over
voting age and every woman who
will not admit her age, should send
Ona B. Talbot today one dollar for
the future musical training of this
girl-wel that is building up a
greater and bigger Indiana. Here is
a girl in the thought of Mayor Slack

non-indulgence all over this picture.
If he tried to make Sadie Thomp-

how to dress for a bedroom.
Here is a bedroom picture that is

Belasco-bedroom touch done with a

Harry Fox is the name that you
must consider with the stage show
this week. Here is a big name and
a personality that reminds, when the
audience takes him seriously, of AL
Jolson. Fox has his own way of

who will carry on the fine traditions
of the State.
The mayor called our attention
to jus5 the short period of training
that has produced Miss Kaufman.
Let us not forget this one thing,
this fine girl proved yesterday-she
has earned the right to carry on
BY getting the very best training.
Of course, she must learn and
yield to that quality which gives
one commanding state presence.
Yes, she must learn how to sepa-
rate the artist from the individual,
right upon the stage. Yes, and
bless her for it, she must lern to
project Miss Kaufman across the
footlights.
But Miss kaufman has this-a
voice that is rich and growing. She
is now billed as a mezzo contralto.
Her lower register has that mag
nificent tone that causes one to
dream Of her future. Here is grow
ing quality. Not a gesture, but a
fact. Miss Kaufman really startles
one with her voice.
Her concert yesterday at the Mu-
rat under the direction Of Ona B.
Talbot plainly and with all Ger
tainty gives her a right to have
the very best possible training. If
Marian Talley deserved it. then Ann
Kaufman has the same right. Here
is a singer who will grow if she is
placed in the sunlight Of great
teachers. Pathos and fire is now
present in her voice and mood.
There is more than the spirit here
there is soul in Ann Kaufman.
Shelbyville turned out with a
band and many people. The mayor
Of that city and the mayor of In
dianapoliS both were there. A
mighty fine audience was there.
Willard MacGregor, pianist, was
present both as a soloist and at the
piano while Miss Kaufman was
singing. MacGregor showed his fine
worth while playing the Chopin
group. Here is an artist who will
become commanding. 1 admit that
he played too much as a soEist on
a program that was introducing a
new singer. No thought of finding
fault with the artistry of this artist
but rather that a shorter program
would have achieved greater results.
Here is a man who will become
great and more so with every ap-
pearance. He, too. will get that
vision of stage business that makes

There is such a thing known in

artistry, and it is far to find. Pardo
could have pulled the scenery all to
