Tease Acts
NEW YORK — #® — I'ndf’ri
scathing fire by a united front "fi
New York clergymen, 14 Ma.nhm-g
tan and Brogklyn burlesque thea- |
ters awaited the “zero hour” at |
midnight tonight to learn whether |
their licenses will be renewed. i
The sirip-tease, whiche trans- |
formed the fading glory of 42nd |
Street’'s legitimate theater era intoi
a blazing lane of catch-penny tor
so exhibitions, apparently wasl
doomed. 1
License Commissioner Paul Moss,
after a two-day hearing to air the |
pros and cons of the flesh-baring |
profession, - declined to announce
his ultimate decision, but remark
ed ominously:
“] am satisfled all burlesque is
épsenually alike. I am also satis
fied that 1 have tne power to re
fuge to issue the new licenses.”
Impetus to the clergy’s move to
drive burlesque from the city came
from ‘Patrick Cardinal Hayes, who
demounced the exhibition which
catapulted Gypsy Rose Lee into the
“Follies” as “disgraceful and per
nicious.”
In Brooklyn, polire ralded three

MODERN YOUTH OKEY
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—(‘P)—~'l‘he|
anties of modern youth arouse no
fears for the nation’s future in
the mind of the Rt. Rev. Edwin
Warren Saphore, 82, preparing to
retire as bishop of the KEpiscopal
Diocese in Arkansas after serving
the church for more than 40 years.
The veteran churchman, whose
resignation has been sent to the
national house of bishops, today
summed up the “modern youth"
gituation as “an exaggeration of
the evil and not of the good in
them.”
“T don’t despair over the future
of our youth,” he said with a
smile. “There is more fear than
there should be over the possible
disintegration of our younger
generation.”

FAMOUS DANCER TO
APPEAR IN ATHENS
(Contmues From Fage One)
companiments and interludeg fur
nisheq by Norman Secon,
The Barrere Little Symphony
is also to appear in Athens next
spring as a fetaure of the Com
munity Concert Series. Mr, Bar
rere, of French birth, has now
been in this country twenty-six
years, playing with the New York
Symphony, now has his own little
orchestra made up of thirteen men
and eleven different instruments.
Each of its members is a viruoso
in his own right, and they give an
exquisite program of compositions,
many of them long lost to the
world because there was no group
of musicans of the proper size to
perform them,
Otheris Cons.dered
There will be at least one other
concert and perhaps two depend
ing on the number of memberships
reported today and tomorrow,
Other artists being considered are
Anna Kashas, or Katherine Meisle
leading contraltos of the Metropol
‘tan Opera Company, or Dallesl
Franz, brillilant young planist. |
The campaign of the Community
Concert Association closeg Satur
lay, May 1, and at its close there
will be no more tickets sold for
another year. No single admissions
are sold, and no season tickets are
sold at any other time except dur
ing the membership campaign.
Thus the association rests on a
sound financia] base; the money is
actually in the bank when the ar
tistgs are chosen; and nobody takes
any financial risk in bringing them
to Athens, - Z"."[P
President of the I.cwu] Concerc
Association is Mrs. J. W. Bailey.
Members of the artists’ commit
tee are: Hugh Hodgson, Mrs, John
Morris, Mrs, Charles Parrott, Miss
Kate Anderson, Miss Jennie Belle
Smith, Mrs, John Jenkins, Mrs.
Rufus Turner, Duncan Burnett
and Mrs, E. 8. Sell,
Those who have not been ap
proached by the working teams,
are asked to come to the Georgian
Hotel lobby where concert head
quarters are located. Membership
for adults is five dollars, for stu
dents, one dollar and a half.
In the current issue of Harper's
[Magazine. there is an interesting
and enlightening article by John
Tasker Hdward, called “Better
Days for Music.” Mr. Howard is‘
one of the two foremost lecturers
on music in the United States,
author, comwoser of music for
orchestras, chorus and piano, and
editor at one time or another of
| various music periodicals.
To quote from Mr. Howard’'s
article: “If you have traveled
through the United States during
the past seasen, you may have
noticed that concerts are adver
tised in hotel lobbies, in shop
windows, and on bill posters far
more extensively than in past
years. It was when radio first
ceased to be a novelty that musi
cians began to fear that the new
medium would so completely sat
lisfy the public desire for music
that few people would make the
'efiort to go to concert halls or
opera houses. For a time, espec
fally in the years around 1925,
these fears seemed to be 'wefl—l
founded. Yet from 1925 until 1929
the ~uncert business steadily im
proved until it surpassed auy
previcus record since the pre-war
years.
“perhaps the pessimists who
during those very years expressed
such deep discouragement were
overlooking an important possi
bility: that while radio may have
encouraged many veteran concert
goers to stay at home, it was also
slowly producing thousands of new
listeners who would sooner or
| jater want to meet an orchestra
or soloist in person., Feor it is
obvious that, with all the improve
| ment in radio transmission, and
| reception, it is not and never
can be as satisfying as the actyal
performance of music by living
'| artists in the flesh. .
“What the radic has done and
will do to our musical taste will
‘ always be a matter for lively
debate. Certainly one may well
Ilwonder what effect the incessant
torch-songs and inconsequen
tial trivia of the average adver-‘
tising program will have on our
children. Specific indications ex
ist, however, to show that concert
audiences are expecting better
fare of the artists who visit them. |
“Kyidence of a widening mar
ket for concert artists is found in
the experience of the two organ
izations controlled by the major
concert bureaus—the Community
Concerts Service of the Columbia
Concerts Corporation, and the
Civie Concerts Assoclation of the
NBC. These groups were organ
jzed for the purpose .of bringing
coneerts to towns = where local
managers were not already pro
moting musical events .at their
own risk. Memberships are sold
in advance in a week's campaign
in the spring. At the end of the
week, the meney is counted and
the local board confers with the
national organization to deciae
{what artists it can afford.
‘ “Phe plan has been most suc
lcvsuful and its growth has come }
largely during the depression.
‘Between four and five hundred
cities have been organized, repre
genting a total membership of
nearly half a million people.
“partly because of the radio
and partly because of the increas
ed number of amateur performers,
che concert artists may hope to
| taco & wholly mew type of audi
ence; one that has come not only
to hear him instead of see him
but will demand more of him and
} will let itself be an integral part
of his performance. If he is a
true artist, he will rejoice in the
change and his performance will
be worth hearing.”

603 Oconee Street, Athens, Ga,,
April 30, 1937.
Editor Banner-Herald:
Mrs. Claud Tuck who lis the
“presiding elder” of the Athens-/
Elberton district Woman’s Mis
sionary Society called the district]
conference to order at Whatkins
ville, a lovely and hospitable sis
ter city cf Athens, on last Tues
day. Tc tell you of the people’
there would be like a preacher’s
trying to give the detail of each
life referred to in the eleventh
‘chapter of Hebrews. To tell you
of the good things awaiting the
'many souls attending that meet
ing would be like an effort to
describe the passage of gcripture
that deals with what eye hath not
seen, ear hath not heard, nor what
has entered into the heart of man.
It was 'a great time that we had
in preparing ourselves for better
| service in the kingdom of God.
Mrs. Tuck ig a most unusual
presiding officer. While T appre
ciated the strong grip she had on‘
the ladies gathered at Watkins
ville, I couldn’t help allowing m’y-.‘
self to think a little on the joy it/
would afford us husbands to have{
Mrs. Tuck to come before ug at a‘
time our wives wouldn’'t Kknow|
about and to address us on the|
secret of securing for the husbands |
the same obedience she hag had l
from the ladies who compose the
‘Woman’s Missionary society. Weell, |
'what church in Athens did Mrs.
Tuck's father gerve as pastor?
Qconee Street, |
Mys, Ernest Beacham’s skill in }i
the work assigned to her as an
officer of the district made herj
pastor who was present to feel
real proud of her. In the many E
matters before the conference, it*;
was necessary for her veice to bej
heard and for her counsel to be
given. Speaking extemporaneous-j
ly more than once, she exhibited a
familiarity with the work thattg
made the annual conference rep-’
resentatives there to marvel at her’
efficiency. And I am not telling’
a secret in saying that her ability
‘as a speaker was equivalent to that'
of any annual conference officer
we were pricileged to hear,
With paper and pen ever before
hepr eyes, Mrs, Binus Bryant guar
ded the records of that gatheringi
and faithfully jotted down all that
oceurred. It is tow orten true thati
guch a Secretary woregoes the
pleagure of expressing her own
opinions about matters, but re
peated calls for Mrs. Bryant's ser
vices need no comment ag to her,
efficiency. After the prayer meet
ing last Wednesday evening, our
well known Brother Campbell talk
ed with me in front of the par
gonage for quite a while, Among
other things he said te the pas
tor, he told me that he regarded
Mrs. Bryant as the most Christlike
person within the membership nt‘
the church., That, of course, ad-
ded to the whole district's appre-l
ciation of Mrs. Bryant, ;
On Monday evening, Messrs.
Callahan, Brown and Smith, are
going to entertain the stewards,
their wives, and the meinbers ofl
the Missionary committee at their
regular monthly meeting. The
stewards and the members of the
missionary committee have a great
‘lmerd for the present conference
vear, and no one seems disposed
to mar the Dpleasure of carrying
on such a program as has been
laurched. Mr., BE. 8 Kirk is the
chairman of oup board of stewards
and ig attending to the work with
regularity and efficiency. The ste
wards gladly cooperate with him.
The same is true of Mres, McKin
non and her Missionary commit
tee, f
I want to thank Mrs. Alice
Adams just now for the generous
gift of a Bible to the church and
for her very kind words about the
supper at our church last Tuesday
night. The ladies, supporting, Roy
E. Wilson, chairman of the board
of trustees, never fail to heed his
requets for service and I am glad
we have a man like Mr. Wilson
and men like our trustees to g 0
ahead with matters that mean sO
much to the kingdom of God. The
presiding elder cailled me the next
morning after the supper and sald |
that he hag & gooa time. Of what
church is Brother Byrd presiding
elder? Oconee Street, |
Come to see us. God bless ev
erybody. 1
Yours frtaernally, o
B. L. BETTS, Pastor. |
