DAN PHILLIPS sighed heavily.
~ He threw one arm upward,
tugged at the covers and, with his
eyes still closed, screwed his face
into a froWn.
For a few moments he lay quiet.
Then the glare Of bright sunshine
was too much for him. Dan stirred,
murmuring sleepily, "Cherry-time
is it? Cherry"
There was no answer. Sunlight
continued to stream through the
window and at last Dan opened his
eyes.
He raised himself to one elbow,
ScoWled at the offending window
blind that hung at a crooked angle
midway of the upper pane, and let
out half-suppresSed oath.
The next minute he was sitting up,
rubbing his head ruefully.
Dan was alone in the room. 1t
was Sunday, seven days after
Cherrys departure. Dams clothes
festooned a nearby chair. There
We're scattered newspapers on the
floor and the entire apartment
looked out of order.
Phillips rubbed the offending
forehead again. He rose to his feet,
crossed to the window and pulled
at the shade. He did it so sharply
that the blind fell to the floor.
"Damn!" the young man ejacu-
lated.
1t took all Of five minutes of an
noyed and repeated efforts to get
the window shade into place again.
When it was done, Phillips
slumped into a big chair. The hands
of the yellow alarm clock on the
table pointed to 20 minutes after
j o'clock.
His head was pounding. Should
have had sense enough not to go
out with the gang last night, he
told himself. But then, he had had
to do something.
Brenda was busy with an engage
ment. He'd intended to Join the
card game only for an hour or so

a DAY,
RY BRUCE CATION

THE formula which John Erskine
n used in his tales of Helen Of
Troy, Galahad and Adam and Eve
was a pretty good one, and it, or
something like it, pops to the sur
face again in "CreSsida's First
Lover" by Jack Lindsay, a sprightly
Offering of the current season.
Cressida was the daughter of an
ancient Trojan mathematician, and
nothing much ever happened to
her; so when her father went to q
seaside town on business and took
her along, CreSsida decided to get
busy and make some excitement.
She started by vamping stolid
sentry at her hosts seaside castle,
and it wasn't her fault that a band
of pirates took advantage of the
sentry's absence from his duty to
pull off raid, of which Cressida
herself was one of the prizes.
Going to sea with the pirates,
Cressida found all the excitement
she had missed crammed into a
few short weeks of hectic living.
What with escaping from the pi-
rates and falling in with an ultra
bashful prince, becoming engaged
to a dyspeptic king, vamping his
prime minister and raising a furore
that finally got her sold as slave,
CresSida had a gay tale to tell when
she at last got back home; and Mr..
Lindsay makes out of it all a yarn
that will give you great num-
Der of laughs.
His story isn't another Helen
of Troy" Mr.. Ersknie always puts
a serious undercurrent into mis- sto-
rieS; this novel is pure froth. But
it's pretty fair froth.

lished by Ray Long and Richard R.
Smith, and sells for So.

Reviews and News of Capitals Programs.
Olive Maine, Soprano,
Heard in Recital

Olive Maine, Soprano,
Heard in Recital
THE soprano, Olive Maine, back
l. from a season in Paris, sang
before a fashionable audience at
Agnes Greene Fosters musical last
evening at Meridian Mansions. Mrs.
Maine was assisted by the pianists
Anne Hull and Mary Howe.
The singer planned an interest
ing program. Her first group was
composed of early American songs
including Hopkinson's Give Me Thy
Heart" and Reinagle's Il Have
Silent Sorrow" and an anonymous
English work composed in the time
Of James I, entitled Have You Seen
But a White Lily Grow?" MIS-.
Maine followed these with three
modern French songs by Gabriel
Grovlez. These varied from "Petites
Litanies de Jesus" to the frenzied
"GuitareS ct Mandolines." For opera
she offered Massenet's Scene du
Miroir," from "Thais." The last
group was chosen from unusual and
infrequently heard modern American
works by Dreier, Hagemann and
Stickles. The charming Shepherd
ess" song was picked because It's
composer, Freer, is friend of Miss
Fosters. Mrs. Maine was most gen
erous with her encores, the last
being a song entitled YOU" with
words by Miss Foster.
The singer gave all she had to her
interpretations, whether it was the
thin tone of the Petite Litanies,"
reminiscent of the English singers,
or the impaSsioned drama and
recitative of the operate selection.
She had great variety Of tone and
clean-cut enunciation. Mrs. Hauer
proved a capable and sympathetic
accompaniSt.
Miss Hull and Mrs. Howe gave a
very fine group of modern works
for two pianos. Their ensemble and
the balancing of tone between the
two instruments was quite perfect.
The quality of tone was always beau
tiful. They brought out the richly
varied colors of Rachmaninoff's La
Nuit-L' Amour" and his Lies Larmes"
with its insistent repetition Of four
solemnly descending notes. Aren-
sky's "Valse' was lifting and whinlsi-
cal with clear, fluent embroidery.
The last number, "Jota,' and the
encore, "Habanera," were both by
Mrs. Howe. They are in a spicy
Spanish idiom and were played with
an invigorating rhythm and, like all
the rest of the group, with complete
assurance. D. G.

Faust" Presented by
Cosmopolitan Opera Co.

CHARLES GoUNoD's Faust" is
~ still best seller. Year by year,
month by month, almost week by
week, it appears in some form or
other behind the footlights and Is
persistently adored by devout and
reverend audience. The audience Is,
too. not alone in its worship, since
the singers invariably give of their
best and tread the evenings meas
ures with all the best that Is IN
them.
This was true especially last night
at the National Theater, where the
largest opera audience of this season
applauded loudly the Cosmopolitan
Opera Co. in its most notable presen-
tation since the curtain went up last
Monday night. Conductor Jacques
SamoSsoud led his not-too-willing
orchestra with an intensity which
was heartening, and guided his sing
ers through the evening with great
skillfulness. He is to be congratu-
lated on having done all that he did.
The opera company, as those who
have been to It's many siestas know
by now, is famed for the excellence
of one or two of its voices rather
than for its ensemble effects, its
staging or its costumes (some Of the

prelude to act three from die Meis-
tersinger," humming the music with
his well known "ta-ta-ty-ya" and
beating time with his right hand.
He was, in other words, the pic
ture of a conductor who knows his
lob has been well done and who
accordingly vents his pleasure on his
immediate and pleaSurable world.
Mr.. Kinder was, Of course, right.
His orchestra had sprung nirnbiy
to its task and disposed of such
favorite works as the Wagner "Meis-
tersinger" prelude and the prelude
to "Lohengrin," not only with ar
dor but with devotion. The former,
in fact, was the crowning OF the
afternoon, since its progress was
neither marred by hesitant brasses,
nor slurred by over-naSal violin in
dulgencies. 1t sang its own clear
song with voice that was effective
ly regulated by the conductor, and
when it was over the audience could
say well done" just as much as
Mr.. Kinder could feel 1t.
The opening number, which has
been arranged by Glazounov, the
polonaise from "Chopiniana" (the
program insisted on giving all the
credit to Mr.. Glazounov and none
to composer Chopin, was played
for the first time in Washington.
Even those who do not like their
Chopin transposed from piano to
orchestra must have admitted that
this arrangement Is more stirring
than its ancestor-or, even If you
don't care for Chopin, 1t is still
an exciting work and an ideal one
for the opening of a program.
The symphony was Haydn's %
Major" Oondon), the best of which
by far was the "Menuetto" and the
final Allegro spiritoso," which
seemed to herald the best that was
yet to come on the program.
Rosa Low, heard last Sunday as
soloist with the orchestra, was in
even better voice yesterday. Espe-
cially to be recommended were her
group of songs-her aria from the
Mozart "Idomeneo" having been
somewhat dampened by an over
loud orchestral accompaniment
and she sang such fervent and
lyrical bits as the Rumanian folk
song, Luna, Luna" with great ex-
pressiveness and a faultless quality
in the less stormy higher vocal
regions. In this, and perhaps even
more so in the encores which she
so completely deserved, her voice
was as clear as a proverbial bell
and perhaps even more soothing
than that.
All in all, this was the symphony's
handsomest accomplishment and
one which should send Maestro Kind
Ter off on his cello tour with not
only smile but that aforemen-
toned beam. e. DE S. MELCHER.

redeemable value at any time and
thereby avoiding all risks of loss

The promoters would sell for
cash and on a very small margin
enough to pay clerk and necessary
distributing expense. An enter
prise of this kind would save thou
sands of dollars a month in way
of profits that now go to the food
profiteers at Plentywood. If the
grocery idea worked out well, the
cooperative association would also
add line of staple dry goods, in
way of bankrupt stock by which
the farmers could save from 40 TO

Printing Contract Case
Heard Saturday--Judge
Will Give Decision Soon

The printing contract case was
tried before Judge Stong of Bill
ings in the courtroom last Satur-

the interest of Harry Polk and
Babcock and Greer for the county.
The case was filed as a taxpay-
ers suit by Charles Grant, big and
busted farmer Of the Outlook coun-
try, who appeared in his big nickel
plated Studebaker car, in which he
run over and killed child at Out
look some time ago. In order that
he could legally bring the suit of
"a taxpayer" someone had paid
$40 of his back taxes a few days
ago.
After the lawyers had told the
judge all they knew about print
ing contracts and laws, going clear
back to Moses and his Ten Com
mandments, the Judge denied a mo-
ton 10 squash and witnesses were
called forward.
