VICTORIA


If you are partial to the real
British atmosphere with its broad
"a's" and cricket and little boys
wearing socks and gray flannel
shorts and Haunting school caps
that are emblematic Of public"
schools, then you will enjoy
Victoria.
And even if you aren't partial to
that sort of thing, you'll still enjoy
the lovely city situated on the
southern extremity of Vancouver
island in British Columbia. Van
col1ver is not on Vancouver island,
but on the mainland, whereas Vic
toria is separated from the main
land by the blue waters OF the
Straits of Georgia and Of Juan de
Fuca. Vancouver island, as big as
Switzerland, and quite as noun
famous in places, is marvellous
place. Parts of the north have
been little explored.
Victoria has grown and been
built up in haphazard fashion on
labvrinthine bays. Beneath the
spires and gray walls of the lead
ing hotel are gay fishing boats.
Boobies wearing London bobby
helmets uphold the majesty OF the

AS he was engaged in active
combat in the World War some OF
his stories are revelations to the
younger members Of the press.
One of his favorites concerns a
young lieutenant who was ap-
preached by two privateS follow
ing a skirmish with the enemy.
According to Connery, the en-
listed men demanded to know
where their lieutenant had been
in the encounter and then advised
him that they knew he had been
in a dugout instead Of at the head
of his men.
Connery said:
"They told him that they
wouldn't tell the commanding
officer but that in the future
they wanted him in the front
with them and not hiding be-

According to Connery the lieu
tenant failed to complain OF in

Big-Town Impresarios Explore Hinterlands
For Additional Talent
By EdUin C.. Hill

This Is the season when the ivory
hunters start scouting the ball lots
"a good old American custom, as
routine as Springtime. Many are
called but few chosen, in the scrip
tural phrase, and these few will be
drummed up to the heights of big
league fame.
But here's another great Amer
lean safari just getting under way
which will flush not the sandlot
ball tossers but the lads who spent
their spare time flogging a uke or
perhaps working up the ecstatic
"swipes" of close harmony on
moonlight nights.
Like a botanist with a butterfly
net, the big-town impresarios are
exploring the musical jungles Of
the hinterland for musical talent.
And that, it may be hastily ex-
planned, has nothing to do with
Major Bowes' amateur hour.
Paul Whiteman's expedition Is
Just as businesslike and intent as
a Smithsonian expedition into
Africa. It has secured Philadel-
phia and Washington and will now
plunge into the Orphic wilderness
of Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland
and points north and west to
capture singers and instrumental
lists and bring 'em back alive.
BUMPER CROP
At the start, in the first two
above cities it has had amazing
success.
1--WE have been amazed at the
talent we have discovered in
Philadelphia and Washington"
said Miss Stella Karn, leader
of the Whiteman expedition. II
am convinced that some Of these
young people will hit grand
opera before they get through.
I've been looking over musical
talent for quite q few years,
but 1 have never seen anything
like the bumper crop Of finished
artistry which you will find
around loose nowadays.
81 don't know what the ex-
PLANTATION is. Possibly the radio
is stirring up the musical
capacity of the country, creative
ness as well as responsiveness.
Or it might be that the depres-
sion years have given young peO-
pie time to do something with
their music. Anyway, it looks
as if the old U. S. A. was enter
ing musical renaissance"
Here is what lies back of Pau
Whiteman's outreach for fresh
talent. The big city wells are dry
ing up-that is, the wells of top
notch, professional talent, which
is what Mr.. Whiteman is inter
ested in. Major BoweS is round
ing up the amateurs. some o1
whom may get a turn in vaude
vile, and that's that.
But the level of the finished

Suppose he CAN give you back
your youthful looks and your beau
tiful vigor. Can he give you back
your young enthusiasm? And your
beautiful young digestion?
Can he give you back your bright
young viSions-your hopeful out
look on life, when the world was
new to you and everything was a
wonderful adventure?
Can he give you back your young
illusions, which made everything
seem so much more glamorous and
desirable than it really was?
Can he give you back your
youthful courage, your faith in
human nature and your belief
in your own high destiny?
Why do we Americ a n S
CLUTCH so desperately at every
imitation Of youth, instead of
welcoming the mellow years as
the Orientals do? Why do we
lie about our age, instead OF
Dragging about it?
The wisest man Of his genera
ton was the late Rudyard Kip

the world and the limelight when
the sun of his great popularity
seemed to be setting. He lived

RON VOYAGE

Chester C. Davis. who came into
the limelight as administrator for
the AAA, is taking his first trip
to Europe.
Davis may have withstood the
storm of criticism that developed
over the AAA, but the trip to
Europe has him up in the air.
He is as excited as a school boy.
Representative Marvin Jones
CD.) of Texas, chairman OF the
House Committee on Agriculture,
wanted to go with Davis, but
couldn't.
They were unable to find a way
to permit Jones to take the trip
at Government expense.

INTERFERENCE

Representative John J. Cochran

tons hotels the other eve.
The toastmaster for the occa-
sion was Representative John j.
"Jack" Delaney CD0, Of New
York.
Republicans and Democrats
alike were invited to the ceremony
and before the evening was over

The only complaint came from
Delaney.

staff, brings into the local studio

them to the microphone. They
put on their numbers.

full unseen listener than it would
be for a radio or concert audience.
When the try-out is finished,
Mr.. Whiten.an telephones:
"Send this one or that one to
New York. Put so and SO on
ice for another try-Out. She has
fine voice, but seemed scared.
Her breathing went wrong"
This means heartbreak for
some. Miss Karn, all-around
good scout, breaks the news
gently. She reminds them that
even this try-out means that they
are on the up-and-up. And they
don't feel so hurt when she tells
them they aren't counted out.
Mr.. Whiteman will have to
keep on recruiting new talent.
There will be another chance.
That isn't just salve. Night clubs,
hotels and resorts are catering to
a more anc more musically in
formed, sophisticated and critical
audience.
There is a shortening period Of
adolescence in songs, with the
public always demanding some
thing new, and always an open
ing for some newcomer who can
give just the right turn to new
composition.

sought for. All this, it must be
repeated, is strictly in the profes.
sional field. There are many
thousands of good musicians out
of work. Perhaps they have spent
years and fortunes in developing
their talent. The amateurs are
crowding at their heels. Mr..
Whiteman's take-off is the convic-
ton that, properly, the place to
look for first7string ability is among
the professionals.
A.REVISION
He thinks, furthermore, that
those who have sunk their lives
into the craft naturally should
have the first access to the big
opportunities. The way is open
for the amateurs to qualify as
professionals in whatever town
they happen to be.
Looking back over the last few
years in America, one is struck by
the vast number of young people
who have made humping big sue

Home they brought her warrior dead:

Called him worthy to be loved,
Truest friend and noblest foe;
Yet she neither spoke moved
Stole maiden from her place,
Lightly to the warrior stepped,
Took the face-cloth from the faces
Yet she neither moved wept.

 The two missionaries are the Rev. Harold Street, of Pavton, H., and he Rev. John Trewin of Toronto. An official government version of the arrest was that they remained at their posts in the danger zones on he southern front too long, and were put in custody for their own safety.
 The government said that it or dered their release after several days imprisonment.
 Ethiopian officials declared that their forces under Ras .Seyyoum, commander in the north, penetrated behind the Italian lines in an area several times, but no mass attack against the Italians in the north IS contemplated for the time being. The Italians reported nothing new on either front.
