THE LA SHELLE
SONG RECITAL

That there is a definite and a
large public for the Indianapolis
singer was proven Sunday after
noon at the Heron Art Institute
when Edward La Shelle, bass bari
tone, presented himself and his
choral club in song cycle.
La Shelle has long been identified
with the musical life of this city
and it seemed to me that both La
Shelle and his male choral club
scored a definite triumph yesterday
afternoon,
La Shelle is mighty good singer
and he brings a clear Interpretation
to each number. In other words
he is a singer that tells a story in
song and is able to create the proper
dramatic or comedy background.
His voice is powerful and when
the grand broad sweep of tone is
required La Shelle is ably fitted for
the task.
To me his Russian group was done
in splendid spirit both in fun and
in drama. "The Roustabout," in
which the complaint of freight
boat roustabout is voiced, was a
real novelty splendidly done.
The choral club gave two differ
ent groups registering their best in
"Invictus," 1.-THE Seligh," a charm

THE PIPE ORGAN
AND IT'S MEANING

So few of us can afford a pipe
organ in our homes. The nearest
that 7 can get pipe organ music in
my home is on the radio.
Most of us must rely upon the
pipe organ In the churches or In
the larger movie theaters.
The beautiful home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Goodman in Crows Nest
has splendid pipe organ. And such
and instrument demands gifted
player.
And that player was found Sat-
urday afternoon when Mrs. Good
man gave a musical tea for her
guests and introduced Arthur Dun
ham, noted organist Of Chicago.
Durham brought an intimate
musical touch to his hour recital.
He gave us many side lights upon
the composers and in all cases dis
cusSed why he played each number.
In that way he had us interested

position even before he played the
number.
OF special interest was his playing
of Bach's "Andante in B Minor"
from 1.-THE Fourth Trio Sonata"
which Is seldom played.
Durham brought us face to face
with several of the modernists, in
Guiding Cesar Franck. Franck was
represented with his "ChoraIe in A
Minor, No. g." a beautiful thing, al
though modern.
Interesting was "Fauns at Play"

Personal Representative
Hints Fault Lies With

AUBURN, N. Y, Dec. 16-Colonel
George Fletcher Chandler. Governor
Roosevelt'S commissioner, set to
work today to apply to the guard
forces at Auburn prison some of the
disciplinary measures he used in
organizing the New York state po-
lice twelve years ago.
Conflicting reports met Colonel
Chandler when he began his in
vestigation. He had to contend with
the Mutual Welfare League, which
was put forward as the bone of
contention in his preliminary survey.
Colonel Chandler is acting as the
Governors personal representative,
under a provision of the state law,
seldom invoked.
In an interview, Colonel Chandler
outlined the scope Of his investiga-
ton Of a situation which has de-
veloped with two disastrous convict
revolts in the last five months.

sent armed guards into the prison
where convicts were able to get
their weapons away from them.
Il never have believed strongly
in civil service as the best way to
select policemen or prison guards.
I opposed having the state troopers
picked by civil service because I
think there is too much chance of
selecting men through political in
fluence."
Bullet marked walls were about
all that remained as evidence of
last Wednesdays riots in which
eight convicts were killed and the
principal keeper, George Durnford,
lost his life, when Colonel Chandler
visited the prison Sunday night.

For myself I would prefer to see
Miss Dove purely as Showgirl
when it comes to this type OF en-

is my ideal. She knows how to walk,

And now the story. Miss Dove is
in love with a young man, played by

BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

With Christmas Just before US,
many concerts are being given in
the city.
Over this weekend we had two
public concerts, which included the
Edward La Shelle recital at the
John Heron Art Institute and the
old melodies concert given by the
Indianapolis council of knights Of
Columbus, No. AIT, for the benefit
Of the Christmas charity fund.
One of the interesting recitals Of
the weekend was the pipe organ
recital given by Arthur Durham,
splendid organist of Chicago, at a
private musicale at the home OF Mrs.
Jack Goodman.
There was a splendid spirit at the
old melodies concert Sunday night
at the Knights of Columbus audi
forum. It got a splendid start, with
everybody standing and singing
"The Sidewalks of New York"
And then the atmosphere became
musically hot when JackSon's or
chestra, a colored organization,
began to play camp meeting songs
and some of the hotter tunes of the
day.
Between the musical numbers,
dancers from the Jack Broderick
dancing school appeared. Among
the soloists were Victor J. Danish
err, Loretta Sheridan Ritter, T. E.
Poggiani, violinist; James P. Sheehy
singing Irish numbers; Frances Bait
Wallace singing such favorite as
'Last Rose of Summer and a
quartet composed of Fred M. Morris,
Elmer A. Steffen, Harry E. Calland
and Perry NJ. Rush.
The Broderick dance ensemble
was composed of Ernestine E. Walk
err, Mary Jane Foran and Rosemary
Kruger.

fine cause.

sweetheart, then mamma will go
"by-by." Or words to that effect.
In other words the expected dra-
matte kick is not there because the
director failed Ito make his climax
real. H. B. Warner as the prosecu-
tor does good work and attempts to
create realism, but the story will not
permit it. Jason Richards at no
time convinced me that he had any
idea that ne would go to prison.
Lois Wilson wears some lovely
gowns.
The cast is a large one. I think
this picture has too much lavish
scenery. The home of the million

public she is very much the French

who proves himself very much of a

Colleen sensing she has been
framed into the meeting, does not
give her girl friend a chance to

not recognize the darkhaired little
