Economically, It concerns the love of Q colonel Of CoSsacks and the daughter Of a revolutionist, who are separated by world up- heaval only to meet again on com. mon ground as eXileS In Parish ana plight their troth.
 MuSically, "Balalaika" offers q great variety of song numbers. Miss Massey's "Tanya" Is bound to be Q hit, Her voice also Is given effective opportunity in At the Balatka" and the operatic version Of very famous song A very sensational number is the love duet, Magic Of Your Love" q very lovely compo. sition. Eddy probably never has had such e scope to cover In songs, "Flow, Flow, White Wine" Ride Cossack Ride and "Volga Boat Song" arc from Q wide range of music schools, including Russian folk music. light opera and the modern trend.
 One of Eddy's most effective mu- sical scenes is e reenactment Of a dramatic incident of the World war when Russian and Austrian troops faced each other across No Mans Land on Christmas eve and joined in singing Holy Night" Eddy sings the hymn with a chorus of one hundred male voices.
 Sharing program honors Is m ad- venture packed lrama entitled "T'hC Man from Montreal" featuring Richard Arlen and Andy Devine, Il is Aim packed with thrills and action from beginning to end,

Chimneys of residences and

smoke Of the season Monday as
the heat was on and the first

temperatures were reported as
low as 81 degrees early Mon
day morning. Residents sour
ried for wood and coal, kindling

and summer clothes absented
themselves from the scene. Ov-

DR.. 6. Barker
Spoke To Three
Groups Tuesday
Under Sponsorship
of Rotary Club
Made Fine Impression

Those who heard DR.. Charles E.
Barker in three lectures, sponsor
ed by Sauk Centre Rotary Tues
day, will agree that he planted
thoughts in the minds of all which
will bear fruit for the individual
and the community as we'll.
DIR. Barker addressed the stu
dents Of the High School at 10:45
Tuesday morning, and the boys and
girls were intensely interested in
his message. He spoke to them on
Moral Courage" and his thoughts
were expressed in simple language
and easily grasped. Mr.. Kohl, sup
erintendent of the school, said:
I'VE have never had a speaker at
school who so impressed the stu
dents as did DR.. Barker"
About fifty men attended the
Rotary dinner Tuesday noon and
heard DR.. Barker talk on the by
products of Rotary, and used as
his top the Rotary motto: He pro-
fits most who serves best" Before
starting his talk, however, DR..
Barker presented gift from Sauk
Centre Rotary to Carl Fischer, as
a token in honor of his coming
marriage to Miss Murphy on Sep
tember 30th.
DR.. Barker stressed the import
ance of tolerance, cooperation and
service, not for the service clubs
alone, but for the individual as
we'll. He advised all men to go to
oh,,rob &c M oxorpplo IN tho Youth
of the community, stating that
many Of the young people today
had no working religion. Religion,
he said, is an important phase Of
life, and these young people, who
look up to the leaders Of the COM
munity and follow their example,
need it badly today.
At three o'clock Tuesday after
noon, DR.. Barker spoke to the wom-
en- Of Sauk Centre at the Main
Street Theatre. In this address he
stated that "the most important
job in the world was being moth
er in the home and training chill
dren." He said the Scout organi-
cations were most valuable In
training boys and girls, and was
the one organization suited for
boys during the gang period"
During all three of his lectures.
DIR. Barker related his views on
life's most important jobs, and ne
made stirring impression on all
of his audiences, from which every
parent and young person should
profit.
