ALI After, the Swedish ten
or who lived in Seattle for
several months last year, is
now plugging away to bolster
his repertoire in New York,
where he is also church sing
er on the side.
This information comes from
Robert Willis, his Seattle &C.
companist, who just returned from
a New York jaunt. Willis by the
way has witty tongue, which
nearly clicks" his accomplishments
on the piano. In some Scandinav-
ian circles he is quite we'll known,
too.
There is also news about Sven
Olof Sandberg, another Swedish
tenor and Sweden's Bing Crosby,
who is coming to the U. S. this
fall. Word has it that he will
give three concerts in Seattle, per-
haps in churches, too. This time
SOS plans to stay in the U. S.
for good. He'll settle down in
Hollywood it seems and there he
will have good company, not in
the least from the real Bing.
Speaking of Bing, Sandberg met
him once in the movie capital and
sos really put the original on
the spot. 1t seemed Sandberg told
Bling he was not only his equiva-
lent in Sweden but also had made
more recordings than he.
This was too much for Bing. He
couldn't believe it.
We'll, how many have you
made ?" asked sos.
over $780," said Bing confident
ly.
I've made 1900" said Sand
berg, looking very proud.
The Swedish crooner zoomed to
success practically over night. Ru-
dolf Wackelin, the former actor
now living in Seattle who acted as
his impressario during tours last
year, says Sandberg happened to
make recording of Nor lila
NOR" just for fun, for his own
enjoyment. The recording company
was so impressed that it put the
record on sale Immediately and it
sold like hot cakes. Sandberg, then
a journalist, hoped on the band
wagon and ever since has been
rolling merrily along.

international and cosmopolitan

in these parts. They're putting on
lively show with exotic dances,
music, sketches, comics, etc. Miss

is about to be married to an
American girl, has been offered
a teaching job at the University

The Norwegians really turned
out for the 21st annual fishermen
festival in the Ballad Fir s t
Lutheran Church March 10. Hun
dreds packed the church and part
of the event was nationally broad
cast. It was a final tribute and
God-speed to the hundreds of
fishermen leaving once again for
the rough seas. There was some
thing touching about the staid
old ritual, particularly when the
Norwegian Male Choir sang II
Midnattsolen' with low humming
voices.
1t was like hearing fishermen
disappear out to sea, singing a
melancholic melody, throbbing
with the subdued passion of hardy
men leaving the dear ones at
home.
The Norwegian Male Choir,
under August Werner, is certain
ly doing a good job these days.
Ballard will soon see a Swedish
picture entitled "Frustration," and
it is supposed to be good. Ingmar
Bergman, Sweden's new Mauritz
Stiller, is the film director. That
sounds good, too.

Injury on a City Bus

A very interesting case, Will
cOxen VS.. City of Seattle, NO.
30607, with reference to the claim
for injury of a passenger on
city bus, was decided recently by
our State Supreme court.
Mr.. Wilcoxen was a passenger
on city bus in Seattle. AS the
bus approached the intersection
where Mr.. Wilcoxen wanted to get
out he gave the customary bell
signal and started for the door.
The bus driver slowed down and
suddenly, in order to avoid an
automobile which had turned in
front of him, brought the bus to
a halt. The force of the sudden
stop threw Mr.. Wilcoxen to the
floor of the bus and he suffered
severe injuries.
Following a jury trial in the
King County Superior Court the
court entered a judgment for Mr..
Wilcoxen in the sum of 100000
The City of Seattle appealed from
this decision to the Supreme
Court.
The Supreme Court affirmed the
ruling of the lower court. 1t said
that it was the general rule that
such jerks or jars as are neces-
sarily incident to the use of the
conveyance and are not the result
of negligence will not render the
carrier liable for resulting in
juries.
The court pointed out, however,
that it is actionable negligence to
cause a conveyance to give vio-
lent or extraordinary jolt, causing
injury to a passenger. Whether
given jerk or jolt was violent or
extraordinary is ordinarily a ques-
ton of fact to be determined by
the jury.
Here the upreme Court held
that the sudden stopping of the
bus was violent and extraordinary
