THE HARVESTER"
ON VIEW AT OHIO

The extent to which the movies
mirror nature was well illustrated
during the recent location trip of a
company from Hollywood to Rome
City, Ind, where the exterior
scenes for THE Harvester" which
is to be the photoplay attraction at
the Ohio Theater for one week be-
ginning with this afternoons
matinee, were made at the famous
Limberlost Cabin of the authoresS,
the late Gene Stratton- Porter.
Will r. Walling, we'll known
character actor of the Hollywood
film colony. plays the part of Henry
Jamison, a slovenly Indiana farmer,
and was one of those who made the
trip to the Midwest location. A
number of scenes we're wanted for
the obstensible home farm of
Jamison, and Director Leo Meehan
finally selected the picturesque
establishment of one Sim Cain, who
lives only two miles from LimberloSt
Cabin.

range of his voice is extensive, for
though of considerable weight in the
lower parts. his upper register is
remarkable in its conformity to his
demands. The sustained upper E
natural with which he finishes the
great song, When the King Went
Forth to War is uttered with
delicate pianissimo that would Go
credit to any lyric tenor or soprano.
Yet his technique is Of that high
order that never obtrudeS itself
upon the nearer. 1t is always his
servant, never his master. His read
ings are also his own. and it is his
absence of all conventionality that
makes his singing of the 'Calunnia'
aria from II Barbiere' a thing of
delight, so full of humor is its in
depreciation, and so satisfying to the
demands of the most eXacting bel
cantist.' The reason is not far to
seek, for his method is based upon
a thoroughly sound breath control
which produces such splendid can't
able results. Every student should
listen to this great singer and profit
by his art.

mediate recognition from the con-

lone of the most striking features
of his technique, is the remarkable
fidelity of word utterance which re-
moves all sense of artiflciality so
frequently associated with operate
singing. His diction floats on a
beautiful cantilena, particularly in
his mezzo-voce singing, which
though one would hardly expect it
from a singer endowed with such a
noble bass voice-is one of the most
telling features Of his performance.
There is never any striving after
vocal effects, and his voice is always
subservient to the words. This style
of singing is surely that which Wag
ner so continually demanded from
his interpreters; but it is the anti
thesis of that staccato 'Bayreuth
bark which few years ago SO woe
fully misrepresented the masters
ideal of fine lyric diction. The at
mosphere and tone colour which
Chaliapin imparts to his singing are
of such remarkable quality that one
feels his Interpretation of Shubert' S
'Doppelganger' must of necessity be
a thing of genius, unapproachable
by other contemporary singers. The
