Pupil Recital
Given at Barker Hall.
A N interesting divergence in the
caliber of voices was to be noted
last night as students of Gertrude
Lyons were presented in their an
nual song recital in Barker Hall,
Y. w. C.. A. Individual selections,
opera and religious numbers made
up the three parts into which the
program was divided, the advanced
students singing the opera and ora
torio selections.
AS is usual with the presentation
Of a group of pupils, several voices
were outstanding. Irma Briggs, So
prano, who was presented in two
numbers, selections of Puccinis
Madame Butterfly" and an aria
from the Messiah" seemed, perhaps,
the most accomplished. Singing
sincerely and easily she handled with
much skill voice of nice proper
tons. VeSta Pollock, contralto, sing
ing an aria from the Saint-Saens
opera, Samson ct Daltla," was en-
Enthusiastically received by the au-
dience which filled to capacity the
auditorium. Her voice also possessed
many commendable attributes.
While nervousness seemed to affect
the singing of many, a second APP
pearance usually remedied this fault.
Marion Bates displayed a voice Of
feeling, although it was slightly weak

King Smith Studio School
Present q Studio Sketch Book.

Present q Studio Sketch Book.
THOSE who don't know what q
= Studio Sketch Book" Is and
weren't at the Wardman Park
Theater last night to ind out,
missed one OF the most original and
provocative performances of the
year. supplied by young ladies OF
debutante years. all OF whom had
the light Of learning and the halo
of talent about them.
These pupils of the King-Smith
SCHOOL, school where tie wisdom OF
the arts goes hand in hand with the
wisdom of common sense--proved
themselves last night young ladies
with a knack for entertainment
which might, let us say, in the
spirit OF homely Jest, plunge them
profltably in one of Broadway's
most successful Little Shows" Al
though on considerably higher
plane, these pleasantly endowed
young ladies, whose comeliness is
another reason for large and
eager audience, did themselves
proud in a series OF songs. dances
and dramatic sketches. any one OF
which must have tickled the srcl-
sors as much as it did thc assem-
blage.
The Misses Tarwater, spiritual
istic crooners par excellence, whose
method of swaying back and forth
and intuning the rhythm of the
Southland, was one of the chief
toys of this performance, endeared
themselves to their patrons by
swerving briefly from the narrow
tone track and by starting all over
again with a grace that plunged
the audience at once into the best
of humors. One OF the Misses Tar
water also raised the roof by her
ID. A. r." Characterization. And
others, unfortunately not tagged on
the program, who seemed especially
noteworthy were the lady who was
the Princess in the Puppet Show,
the entire cast of the Jazz" scene,
a highly original and skilled bit Of
pantomine against background Of
music; the dancers Of the "Dubrov-
Mix" and the final Gay NinetieS,"
with its authentic wardrobe.
The Sketch Book itself, cleverly
executed by the brush of Robert
Byrnes and, after the manner OF
Mis- Cowls Twelfth Night" chang
ing scenes by turning the pages, was
the setting against which the fell
lowing young ladies took part:
Eleanor Swain, Jane Dunscombe,
Katharine Vaughan. Lenore B.
Jumps, Virginia Hortenstine, Re-
becca Tarwater, Penelope Tarwater,
Margaret Wilson, Jean Arendes,
Anne Zimmerman. Betty Lord,
Margeret Handy, Wayne Wynne

BY the Associated Press.
Albert B. Fall will carry to the ST.
preme Court his conviction Of accent
ing 100000 bride while he was In
terror Secretary under President Hard
ing.
One of his counsel, Frank j. Hogan,
announced last night that friends and
counsel of the 69-year-old former cabi-
net officer had succeeded in convinc-
ing Fall that the case should not stop
short of the Supreme Court"
Hence, Hogan said, Fall, from his
Ihree Rivers, N. Mex, home, has in
structed his attorneys to petition the
highest judicial group to review a Dis
trlct OF Columbia Appeals Court deci-
sion upholding the conviction, q years
prison sentence and a 500, 600 fine.
Doheny Won AcquittaI.
After the District of Columbia Court
announced its decision last month. Fall
said he no longer would contest the
case charging he accepted the bride
from Edward L. Doheny, wealthy oil
man. Doheny has been acquitted of
giving the monet.
i am an old man, and for the last
eight years have known little but trou-
BILE" Fall said last month. Il am a
poor man, and 1 have no money for
further legal defense"
Hogan announced the petition for re-
view would be filed with the Supreme
Court before next Thursday, the last
day it may be presented.
Mr.. Fall has now decided to yield
to the advice Of his attorneys and to
the opportunities of his family and
friends" Hogan said
Hogan said the matter of financing
the appeal had not been discussed.
AT the conclusion of Falls trial here
in October, 1929, it was announced that
Doheny, lifelong friend of the former
Secretary, would stand the expense of
his defense.
Had Objected to Appeal.
''Mr. Falls attorneys strongly adj
vised him 10 authorize them to seek
review by the Supreme Court OF the
judgment against him." Hogan said in
announcing the appeal. Apparently
temporarily weary of his long fight and
because of the hopelesSly bad state of
his health, Mr.. Fall first determined
not to follow the advice of counsel and
early this month instructed them not
to ask the Supreme Court to review
the judgment against him.
Upon further consideration, Mr.. Fall
has now decided to yield to the advice
of his attorneys and to the Emporium
tiles OF his family and friends. The
latter zelt that the case should not stop
short of the Supreme Court.
Acting upon definite instructions
just received from Mr.. Fall, counsel are
engaged in preparing a petition to be
filed with the Supreme Court next week
The time allowed by an order of the
District Court of Appeals for Mr.. Falls
attorneys to file petition for review ex-
pires May %. Mr.. Falls petition will
be filed before that date"

That not only one, but two white women crossed the Chickamin Creek away back in the now dim and distant year of 1919, is the. declaration contained in a letter received this week by the Herald from Mrs. Pearl Allen, of Nina, Nevada.
 The ladies in question were Mrs. E. H. Bartholf and the writer of the letter, who was at that time Mrs. Harry Shough and we'll known to early day residents of the camp.
 Mrs. Allen does not claim that either Mrs. Bartholf or herself were the first white women to make the passage of the great ice stream, but states a belief that they were lone of the first" to cross. Mrs. Allen also believes that she was one of the first women to cross the Bitter Creek glacier, having made the passage on a journey over to the Mass River valley and down to Alice Arm.
