staff writer at Washington, D.
c., and in it are sketched the
characteristics of the tall Morse
of Minnesota with "the Irish
brogue and his incredible sense
of humor, not betrayed by his
slow measured speech with the
austre quality of a supreme
court decision.
Creel illustrates the humor-
Gus twinkle of our senator by
citing his recent appearance be-
fore the Breakfast Club of Los
Angeles. When called on he
said, what l desire to discuss
even at the risk of boring you,
is your failure to capitalize a
great natural asset" He Won
dered why no Californian ever
said anything about the eli
mate? He could testify of his
own personal experience of its
health giving power.
The senator went on in this
vein for several minutes with
out cracking a smile. AS all
the talk of the native son of the
sunny state is of it's climate, the
response to the senator's re-
marks was instantaneous and
he was at once pronounced a
great humorist. He clinched
his reputation when he stated
he could not find ''a single re-
altor in the whole of Los
Angeles" from whom to buy a
house and lot.
Senator Shipstead takes
pride in being dubbed a radical.
On this subject he once re-
marked: ''It doesn't necessarily
follow that a radical has got to
be a damned fool"

when Nine. Ninon Vallin,
L French soprano of the Paris
Opera, is announced on con-
cert program was not entirely realized
yesterday at. Mrs. Lawrence Town
sends musicale at the Mayf1oWer.
Nine. Vallin was evidently suffering
from a cold which prevented the full
enjoyment of the beauty of her voice
and her refined art as we'll. For the
many who have heard Nine. Vallin
before in some of her inimitable in
terpretationS this was cause for great
regret. 1t was more unfortunate that
those who heard her for the first time
had not an opportunity to judge the
individuality and vocal perfection
that make her one of the finest sing
ers before the public today. The sec
ond artist on the program was Rene
LIE Roy, French flutist, who played
here last season.
Endowed with voice of naturally
beautiful quality, it is more with the
perfection of its placement and the
full and facile command of its tonal
color that Nine. Vallln Is unique. She
manages the narrow vocal lines of the
difficult French songs and the in
tricate changes of Spanish music with
skill that is rarely equaled by any
other singer, while infusing her in
terpretations with Latin warmth
tempered by her intellectual under
standing.
Yesterday these attributes were
found most in the final group of
Spanish numbers, when Nine. Vallin's
voice had cleared and she was freer
in her delivery. Also the contrasting
arias, "Adieu Notre Petite Table
from Massenet's "Manon" and the
"Seguedille" from Carmen" con-
tanned the notable points of her fine
style. Equally convincing was the
tender sadness of the 'Manon" aria
