Jessica Dragonette
OF the Love|yVoiee
Here as SoIoist
Ethereal Personality
Of Rodio to Sing Here
Tonight at Water Cote
By CARTER BROOKS JONES.

BY CARTER BROOKS JONES.
This listener-in doubted for years
that there was such a person as
Jessica Dragonette. He tuned her
in and figured she was a lovely voice
that somehow the radio was able
to tap at will from the depths OF
some music box or other. There
was something ethereal fey about
the tones that f1oated out between
plugs for one thing or another.
And that name some press
agent must have invented it.
OF course, the secret was out two
years ago. She began to concert
ize," as the music teachers say, and
lot of big audiences saw her.
But still it went on until last night
before this reporter actually saw
her. and a shred of the old skep-
ticism remained as he assembled the
elevator to a suite at the Raleigh
Hotel.
OF course, she appeared, and 1t
was surprising to hear her say she
was reluctant to descend from the
airWays and climb the concert stage.

Moreover. Miss Dragonette turned
out to be not only actual, but ar
ticulate. She has plenty of ideas
and she expresses them deftly.
What she meant about shattering
the illusion, she explained, amid our
gallant remonstrance that she didn't
need to worry, with her looks, was
this:
Some might have imagined me

thin. some another way. 1t was

Costs of maintaining municipal
golf courses are compared with
those of private clubs in the De-
troit district in a report compiled
by George Engel. auditor general.
1t was prepared at the sugges-
ton of a member of the Common
Council and submitted to that
body yesterday. apparently to
answer several questions which
arose since the city raised the fees
for play on its courses.
The average cost for maintain
ing an 1S-hole municipal course,
according to figures submitted by
Engel is S15,62l70. compared to
Sl3,032.56 for a private course.

The figures on municipal course
costs were obtained from the
operating records of the depart
ment of parks and recreation for
1910. and not a detailed cost re-
port. But Engel says, the records
are IN good condition and appar-
entity reflect the proper facts.
The private course average was
