The Guidite World
of Music
Deanna Durbin
By Miss Ethel Jones

An inspiration to all young
singers is the success of Deanna
Durbin, the little fifteen year sing
er who is quickly rising to fame in
Hollywood.
Born in Canada in December
1922, she came to Los Angeles with
her parents when she was a year
old.
Although she sang when a very
small child, her voice did not at
tract attention until she was ten
years old. One day her sister heard
her singing Drink To Me Only
With Thine Eyes" When she had
finished she had her sing it again.
For an hour Deanna sang while
her sister Edith played. That night
Edith spoke to her father of her
sisters remarkable voice. Il be-
lieve she has a great future as
an opera singer" she said. But
there was no money for teachers
nd training.
Two years later, she accompanied
her sister, who was a school tea
her, to a neighborhood school re-
cital. To please her she sang
Drink To Me Only With Thine
Eyes" A cinema agent looking for
talent for a new picture "The Life
of Schumann Heink," was in the
Audience. He was astonished and
Immediately selected Deanna Dur
bin to play the role of the great
Schumann Heink, at a salary lar
ger than the entire salary of the
Durbin family. This was the begin
ming. On account of the death of
Schumann Heink the contract was
not renewed but through Mr.. Sher-
rill, Deanna was placed under
Andie de Segurola, twelve years a
baritone with the Metropolitan OPP
era company. And today after
months Of coaching under de Sc
gurola and Henry Roster. director
Of the film, she is known as Holly
woods Modern Jenny Lind" And
Just Is years old this month, she
has been voted radios most popul-
ar new star.

christmas Stocking Party on the
description given below.
A large cedar tree in the center

Bright colored decorations, but no
candles are added. On a table, close
at hand, is a box filled with pieces
Of cardboard about two inches
square. each bearing a number.
The packages on the tree are
marked with corresponding num-
kers. Each person draws a card
from the box and then looks for
the package bearing the duplicate
Hnmber. Usually the search will be
lsNgeg than might be supposed and
Aany parcels are hung so high that
u step ladder standing near must
be called into service. No assist
Ance should be asked or given.
When the mysterious snowballs
are unwrapped all sorts of pretty,

Player Who Left Dodgers
Burning With Ambition,

~ the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
~HCAGO, January 30.-Freddie
Iindstrom, the one-time
"boy wonder" Of base
ball back in 1924 when
John McGraw managed the New
York Giants, was wondering tonight
what was to become of the boy.
Restored to the active playing list
after eight months Of voluntary re-
tirement, Lindstrom, still the property
Of the Brooklyn Dodgers, had re-
ceived no word as to his base ball
future from the club he deserted in
disgust last May because he said he
no longer was able to earn his salary.
As Lindstrom sizes up the situa.
ton, he Is without a job, although
he Is burning with ambition to re-
turn to the game. He has received
no contract from the Dodgers, and
unless he does, he will become a free
agert March l, giving him an op-
portunity to peddle his services
wherever he can.
