The Lions Club at ogallala is setting up what should be a
very interesting musical evening. On November 29th, the club
will sponsor a "Quartets Night" at which time male quartets from
towns all around that area will be invited in to take part in a
program. Full details were not given in the Keith County News
last week, but the idea has possibilities of being a money raiser
for almost everyone likes a good quartet.
The Oregon Trail Antique Car Club, which is the name of an
organization at Lexington, Nebraska, celebrated the close of an
other summers motoring with their old cars last week by staging
a dinner. They had a program which consisted of colored slides
showing the old time cars as they looked when they were new and
other features. The club has a roster of thrtysix members who
own approximately fifty cars, the Dawson County Herald re-
ported.
The Red Cloud vicinity has been the scene of several farm
home holdups lately, according to the Commercial Advertiser
there. Two weeks ago a man was robbed at gun-point while
alone in his farm home. Last week the robbers returned and
held him up again, taking approximately $4,000 The robbers told
him they came back because the victim reported the incident to
the police. They threatened his life if he reported the second
stickup. Neighbors turned in the news this time to authorities.
Ais last week, a Red Cloud woman was the intended victim
of a holdup when her car was crowded on a highway near town
and the occupants threatened her with a gun. The woman got
away from the wouldbe thieves and no trace of them has been
found.

Glare Boothe Luce
Gusts Ghost, Says

ROME. Dec. 5 P1.-United

Luce wants the world to know
she doesn't have or need a

expense of the taxpayers.

ition Service recently said Leo
Disher of winston Salem, N. c.,
former foreign correspondent,
had joined the local staff as

Mrs. Luce.

announcement was an error and
that Mr.. Disher has been trans
ferred to another job in Trieste.

rarity, a true mezzo-soprano.
From the top to the bottom of
her wide range, her voice is even,
flexible. powerful. completely
controlled. and of the loveliest
tonal quality. Added to this is
her linguistic mastery and
breadth of imagination-the sum
total is a singer of the most ex-
traordinary talent and virtuosity
1t is difficult to say which OF
the five groups of songs she pre-
Sented was most impressive. The
opening Italian group, a triumph
of bel canto vocal projection
was overshadowed by a most
poignant and affecting MAILER
song cycle.
After the intermisSion, Miss
Allen sang three MesSiaen songs
which are surely far more NOV
ing than any of the many organ
pieces for which this composer
is so well known, and then fol-
lowed these with three Honegger
settings of psalms. These the

Santa Cecilia Choir
Sings Recital Here

! Guitarist Charles Byrd, play
ing under auSpices of the
Messerole Studios where he is on
the faculty, gave a recital yes
terday that could compar
creditably in scope, variety and
Ivirtuoso accomplishment with
the name" events in our large
concert arenas.
Unfortunately for the numbers
of listeners who thereby miss
the magic of a well-played
guitar, a recital such as yester-
days would be completely lost
in a Constitution Hall. Though
its actual tonal limit is hardly
so extreme as that, say, of a
clavichord, its special appeal is
similarly within an intimate
gamut where, scaled down and
refined almost beyond belief,
minutiae of tone and rhythm
exert powerful effect.
The striking thing about Mr..
Byrd's playing, beyond his very
considerable facility, is his mas
terry of these all-important tech
niques. This is not to say he is
Ia slave to the super sentiment
of guitarists who hnger with a
Ivibrato and a tear over every
lush phrase. His taste is as right
in the early dances and tunes of
Luis Milan and Henry Purcell
as it is in the disciplined lines
Iof Bach or the exotic sounds of
Ia Villa Lobos study.
The question of transcription
success is too involved to answer
here. but it would have been
helpful if yesterdays program
had given sources and TRANSCRIPT
ers of the dozen or so pieces not
written originally for guitar. OF
those played before intermission
Gluck's Dance of the Blessed
Spirits" three Schumann songs,
and a Bach Sarabande seemed
least comfortable in their
adopted guise.
Mr.. Byrd's own arrangements
of Hungarian folk tunes as set
by Bartok were complete sue
cess. These settings distill moods
that are savage and sad. naive
and yet full of mystery, and that
find a perfect medium in
the guitar.
I would rather consider it to
his credit that in the musical
low points on his program yes
terday, Mr.. Byrd's playing was
the least accomplished. Ora
