Charles L. Wagner dean Of concert
managers, said last night in a lect-
ure sponsored here by the Malta
tuck Musical Art Society, that John
McC ormanck, world renowned tenor,
was the greatest concert artist OF
all times. Mr.. Wagner addressed a
large group in the second of a lect-
ure series. In an informal talk Mr.
Wagner, who has been in the con-
cert business for over thirty years,
narrated many experiences during
that time, calling his topic "Traf-
Ticking In Temperament" He Is
the last of the independent man
ayers, and despite the change and
the trend of a different type OF en-
tertainment management today Mr..
Wagner is still launching artists.
Mr.. Wagner began his career
soon after he finished high school
in the middle west, aSsociating him.
self with the Chatauqua a popular
field for all manner of entertainment
in those days. Beginning with the
Chatauqua he brought before the
public such personalities as Robert
Ingersoll. This type of work was
you might say right up Mr.. Wagner's
alley and from that time on his life
has been spent in an exciting fash
ion among the stage, concert and
opera stars. Today Mr.. Wagner
seems to enjoy the same success III
arrangements, with such persons as
JuSsi Bjoerling, Jeanette McDon-
aid, Alan Jones, Alexander Kipnis,
as he did years ago with Mary Gar
den, Frances Aida, Galli-Curci,
John Mccormack and Will Rogers.
The sensational launching Of CALI
Curci, unknown and likely to attract
little or no attention in New York
City, was related by Mr.. Wagner,
likewise her subsequent career and
handicaps because of a throat af-
Fiction.
Mary Garden
Mary Garden was the greatest
dramatic soprano Of her time, and
could not be equalled In certain
operas, he said. Press agenting opera
claques, and so on were given
good description by the speaker, as
well as many other tricks of the
trade, you might say. The manager
was up against 1t many times and
had to put up with temperament of
all sorts. Very often so-called
temperament, he said, was simply
a case Of showing on: and, said
Mr.. Wagner, he found that most
artists were pretty good business

Much Loved Story.
The last Of the 10th chapter of
St. Luke, today's lesson, tells another
well-known and much loved story Of
our Lords life on earth. He was a
guest at the home of two sisters,
Mary and Martha-intimate friends
Martha was evidently the type OF
woman who worries about the AZ
rangement Of her home and what she
must have to eat, etc. when she has
guests. She planned to entertain this
honored guest lavishly, and was
busy with the work Of the household
-"cumbered about much serving,
in the language Of the Bible.
Mary, on the other hand, was most
interested in Jesus teaching, and sat
at His feet listening to His word
Martha came to Jesus and said
Lord. dost Thou not care that my
sister hath left me to serve alone?
bid her therefore that she help me-"
But Jesus answered, Martha,
Martha. thou are careful and trou
bled about many things:
But one thing is needful: and
Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from
her"
The things of the spirit - the
word" is more important than much
material food and drink. An elabor-
ate banquet was not what the Mas
ter needed. but that people should
listen to His word and do as He
taught them. To love God with all
thy heart, soul, strength and mind,
and thy neighbor as myself" That
was the important thing.

After Jesus injunction that mo

men other than His apostles, to go
forth and preach the Gospel.
The 10 were to 60 two and two to
all the places where Jesus Himself
would later teach. Like the apostles,
they were to take nothing with them
except what they wore, no money or
extra clothes, and they were to &C
cept the hospitality of those to whom
they preached. Into the house they
entered Jesus told them to say:
Peace be to this house.
In the same house they were to
remain, eating and drinking such
things as are set before you" They
were also to heal the sick in the
house. In the towns where they were

Then He gave them more power

He also told them not to rejoice

but rather to rejoice because their

| LAWYER Questions Jesus.
A certain lawyer came to Jesus to
try to trick Him. Said he: Master,
what shall | do to inherit eternal
life?'
Jesus answered him with counter
question: What is written in the

And the lawyer answered: Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and with all thy soul, and
with all thy strength, and with all
thy mind: and thy neighbOr as thy

Jesus said he had answered cor

story of the man who fell among
thieves, who stripped him OF his

left him half dead. A priest came

Georgetown Second
To Boston COLLEGE
In Grid Scoring

It's no contest as far as team
standings are concerned among local
and nearby collegiate gridiron ma
chimes. Georgetown's Hoyas still
are far in front in all departments,
having won their sixth straight over
the week end while Maryland idled
and George Washington and Catho-
lie U. were being held scoreless.
Not only do they lead locally with
206 points, but the HoyaS appear
prominently in the Eastern picture
being second only to Boston College,
which has counted 240 points in six
games. At the same time B. c. has
permitted 81 points, 5 more than
c.. U.
The Colonials, with four victories
and two defeats, are second locally
having scored 70 points to IA for
opponents.
Individual honors also go to
Georgetown, with Jack Doolan on
top with six touchdowns for SO
points.
Lou GhecaS, Jim Castiglia and
Jules Koshlap each tailed touch
down against Syracuse, to jump
closer to Doolan. They now have
four each and with Walt Fedora OF
G. W., another four-time scorer, are
tied for second.
Augie Lilo, G. us kicking guard,
took still wider lead in the points
after touchdown department. His
three against Syracuse raised his
total to 10 in 13 attempts.
