CIANNINI HAS
HER GREATEST
TRIUMPH HERE
MartineIIi Brings a Glorious
Tenor Voice to Concert
Platform.
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

This thing of rushing from a con-
cert at one end of town to about
Washington street for another con-
cert on the same night is job that
I do not relish.
If 1 had the power to pass a city
ordinance, I sure would pass one
making it a crime to present
Dusolina Giannini with the male
chorus of the Indianapolis Maen-
nerchor and Giovanni Martinelli,
great grand opera tenor, in separate
concerts on the same night.
In the past 1 have refused to
divide concerts but last night,
wanted to hear both. So 1 rushed
out to Caleb Mills Hall at Shortridge
high school to hear the first part OF
Martinelli's program.
Then as soon as the tenor
finished his first part up to inter-
mission, I dashed out 10 an auto
mobile and landed at the Academy
Of Music just in time to hear the
widest ovation have ever heard at
a MaennerChOr event.
I was told that Giannini had just
finished the Verdi aria ''Madre Pie
tosa Vergine," from La Fora del
Destino," with the male chorus.
Well, that was the one thing !
wanted to hear above anything. I
missed it, but the way the audience
carried on 1 knew that this won1-
an was having her greatest triumph
in Indianapolis, and she has had
some big ones here.
All that remained of this con-
cert were two Silcher by the male
chorus and a group of italian and
Spanish folk songs, magnificently
done by Giannini. The ovation was
so long that she gave an encore and
then the audience started cheer
ing.
Oh, this woman sang in marvellous
voice. What a personality. What
voice. She is the CALI Curci of to-
morrow.
1 left Caleb Mills hall, where the
Indianapolis school teachers were
presenting Martinelli in concert be-
for capacity house just as the
Academy of Music had last night.
Here is another great voice suited
magnificently to both opera and the
concert stage, but 1 have always felt
that Martinelli was more at home
in opera, than in recital.
His opening aria, 80, Paradise"
showed he was in splendid voice,
and when I left two great num-
berS, ''Nebbie" and "Musica Prof
bita," were ringing in my ear. Oh,
how this man handled these two
numbers.
I wanted to hear the aria from
Die Meistersinger, but 1 ran away
to another concert.
Tell me, please, why two such
great artists should come to town on
the same night? I am sure that it
can not be answered to my salts
faction.

wife as just a common product Oh
the city. The truth is, she isn't.
The city-wife is willing to become
lust a worker and a hard one at that
in the bleak farm house cooking for
many farm hands. But her hus-
bands father believes that she Is
bad. Then the melodramatic sex
climax. all circumstantial and false.
The old man then sees that the girl
is right and we have the happy end
ing.
Miss Duncan does very we'll with
the city girl but she does not reach
the heights Of which she was
capable on the stage. Maybe that
is the reason she intends to return
to the stage.
CITY Girl" If It had been stark
realism, would have been a great
picture. AS it is, it is just another
talker.
Johns and Eva Mabley in the
vaudeville part Of the bill to my way
of thinking has the right to be con-
sidered seriously. These two give
impressions of vaudeville thirty
years ago. They have a good sense
Of showmanship and remain in
character. They have real skill in
putting over the homespun situa-
tons of years ago. And they know
how to costume the act.
Harry Girard directs about a
dozen girls in an unusual act for
vaudeville. The girls sing and dance
and Girard sings from the orchestra
pit. The object of this act is to
bring better music to the variety
stage. And that often is a danger
GUS experiment in this jazz age.

Judging by their actions when I saw
EN-, are not ready yet to be

A Sermon for Today
What Is Most Worthyi
sY REV. JOHN R. GUM,

"There Is a man whose labor Is In
wisdom."-Prov n.21.
who is the man whose labor is In
wisdom? He is the man who has
learned how to direct his labor toward
worthy ends. There are many. wncse
chief fault is that they have not learned
how to do this. They waste tnen
them nowhere.
To illustrate, here Is q man who has
always come short of what has been
rightly expected of him. Not thai he
is a bad man. Not that his life has
been corrupt. Yet all his life has been
a mistake. continual blunder. What
is the explanation? He has squandered
himself on the wrong things. He may
never have violated a single one OF the
common decencies of life, but he has
spent his labors on things unworthy OF
him.
what would you think Of man II he
should build a factory to manufacture
airplanes, and then manufactured moth
ing but paper kites? Something like
that is the disproportion in the lives OF
many Of US. Equipped with Drawn and
brain and capable of doing something
worth while, we occupy ourselves with
things altogether unworthy Of us. We
snatch at the baubles and trifles that
dangle before our eyes, never seeing
"the crown Of glory that fadeth not
away" We fail to exercise discrimina-
ton, and place the accent Of our lives
on things that count for little II any
thing.
No man has learned how to live until
he has learned how to distribute him
self, where to place the emphasis and
where not to place 1t. II you would
make your life worth while, see that
your Tabor is in wisdom" and make the
most of what Is most worthy.

from one subject to another, when
suddenly the Governor turned to Coul-

Doctor, am looking for a man for
the presidency of the University Of

What do you think about it?"
Coulter thought for moment. Then,
turning to the Governor, he said:
There Is a man In New Jersey-in
fact he is Governor of the State-who
Is the very man you are looking for
II you can persuade him to take the
job.
"His name is Woodrow Wilson, for
merly president of Princeton. His
term as Governor expires shortly. Per-
haps he would consider such an offer
as you have"
Gov. Lind took to the idea. Turning
to Coulter, he asked, Would it be
possible for you to go to New Jersey
and sound Wilson on the propositions"
Coulter agreed.
OF course, the rest is history. VIII

| prior to her marriage, as was once ex-
pected of her.
Assuming that a girl Is. earning her
own living before her wedding and has
to buy linens for the new home from
what she can save from her wages, she
cannot be expected to get any lavish
supply. Therefore, in stating numbers
of things the minimum is named. For
small apartment of living room, din
ing room, bed room, bath and kitchen
cite, when entertaining overnight is not
considered, 1t is possible to get along
with six sheets for each bed-that is
six double sheets, or q dozen narrow
sheets If there are twin beds.
Four dozen hand towels will be
needed, Is bath towels, guest towels,
II face cloths and bath mats. A dozen
rather scanty (two dozen Is better), four
dish cloths and a dozen kitchen hand
towels Six roller towels, since these are
double the hand size, will be Sufficient
for the kitchenette. There should be
floor cloths four) also.
For the dining table there should be
four good sets of linen for dinners, four
luncheon and breakfast sets. If the sets
include napkins, there will need to be
only two dozen more, but II not there
should be three dozen napkins for
dinners (the enormous "dinner-size"
napkins are not necessary and six
dozen small luncheon and breakfast nap
l-ins, some of which can be dolly size
To the above minimum q girl may
add innumerable accessories, such as
centerpieces, table mats, hot biscuit
covers, small doilies, etc.
If the girl is not well on and the man
she marries is, he may provide some
of the household linens. This would be
amazing q few years ago. It Is one Of
the changes time has wrought. If the
girl is well-to-do and the man IS earn
ing q small salary, the girl should sup
Div more of the linens than those
named. If the couple are In well-to-do
circumstances Cor the girls parents),
she should increase the quantities de-
cidedly and be prepared to provide
whatever she prefers to get q little
later that she may keep her linens IN
the latest style.
