blacksmith, Of Al Tunnel st.. ia
one who thinks so. He and his
brother. Ed. have shod many an
unruly work horse In the past
but now their work Is a pleasure
since they are using the radio to
make their horses docile while be-

Whereas in the past we had ia
tie thick rope around a horses
neck and leg to keep 1t from
kicking. all we do now is to turn
on the radio and music makes the
horse so tranquil that we can
put shoe on in a 1iffy," said

CALLED BERNHAEDT

Several times this Scotch.Irish
American has been referred to as
the Bernhard OF opera, but the
designation Is only partly true.
Garden is simply and solely Gar
den-she is a complete personality
which has the, ability to schange
itself to the character she Is por-
traying in song. No opera singer
OF our time, and so far an I know,
no opera singer Of any time, has
ever so completely or wildly made
character and drama in music live
as has Mary Garden. In That's
she IS "Thais"--just as in her
other parts she is strikingly the
character she is depicting. She
makes some Of the most impossible
puppets of the operate stage, stand
out as living. human beings. This
evening the broadcast Will probably
give the scene where the monk
seeks out the courtesan to attempt
70 reform her and she strives to en-
snare him.
