‘Wedding’ Nets $225
For City Playground
Final reports from the Lilliputian
wedding which was staged last Fri
day night by Team No. 3 of the Wo
man’s club for the benefit of the city
playground, showed that the net prof
its amounted to $225, according to
announcement of Mrs. J. R. Cargill,
chairman of the committee. This re
sult made the affair one of the most
' successful benefits ever given here
for any purpose. .
Mrs. Cargill stated today that in
asking the Times-Recorder Sunday
following the affair to convey the
; thank- of the committee to the va
' riou- persons or institutions which
had aided in the affair several had 1
been overlooked in the rush and'
weariness, following a hard week ’
and she asked that the team’s thanks*
be publicly expressed to them. These *
included J. C. Speer, printer, who do-*
nated the tickets, the Carswell Drug'
company, which gave the ice cream 1
cones for the wedding supper, and'
the Americus Drug company, and the*
orchestra which played throughout'
the evening.

At the conclusion of the game a

k MACK is some
thing more than
the spokesman of
\ r h e new Irish
- lyricism. It is
C ti ue, he can take
ar. Irish song
either modern or
ancient —and sing
it, perhaps, as no
s minstrel of his
' time. But he also
is a world-artist —
( a n interpretative
singer who has
absorbed the liv-
ing consciousness of other races 'Ban
his own. Yet, at heart, he is a Gael,
with all the wild poetry of his own
i people. No one but a poet at heart,
for example, could express the yearn
ing. the tenderness and lyric ectasy
which he puts into that beautiful song,
“Only Y ou” as it appears on one of the
New Victor Records. It is a love-lyrjc
of unusual quality and the artist’s
genius at times carries it into the more
exalted levels of tone-poetry.

capricious but bril

tones that rival the piccolo.
The blissful rock-a-bye hour, the cud
dling of little heads, and the crooning
of the old-time lullabies seem, some
times, to have gone out of fashion. As
these melodies have a rightful place at
the very beginning of a child’s journey
into toneland, it is gratifying to know
that a Victor Record is just out which
reproduces a few of the most beautiful
om?s. “Hush, My Babe” is one dear to
all of the older generation. “Happy
Land” is the simplest familiar example
of the pentatonic scale used by all
primitive peoples. The lullaby from
“Eiminie” should be known by all chil
dren for the strong rocking rhythm.
“Birds in the Night” is another of the
lullabies that should appeal strongly to
children.

Mischa Elman plays
“Hymn to the Sun”
Perhaps one of the strangest, weird
est most elusive melodies ever written
is that of the mysterious “Hymn to the
Sun” in Rimsky-Korsakey’s opera, “The
Golden Cockerel.” The story of the
opera is as wild as anything in the
Arabian Nights and so is the music.
The hymn is sung by the beautiful but
vain Queen of Shemakha at daybreak
from the door of her tent. Mischa
Elman has arranged the melody for his
violin and on a new Victor Record he
makes the music, if possible, even
richer and weirder than before. The
violin records with rare imaginative
power, every emotion of the rapt queen
whose feelings of obsorption into nature
at beholding the great sun, are tem
pered with very genuine propensities to
make mischief in the world. Elman
has caught the spirit of the East in
every note.

tour, stirred her audiences to great

produce songs of this type, in which
even a repeated note appears to gather
magic as it is heard. It requires an
artist like Miss Farrar to give such
songs the superadded magic which is
the last achievement of the interpreter’s
art.
Men and women who know will say
th#t life never has seemed sweeter nor
love more beautiful than in some hour
tinged with the consciousness of i ath.
Leoncavallo caught something of this
spirit in the great prologue to his
opera, “Pagliacci,” which is newly sung
by Renato Zanelli on a pair of Victor
Records. Zanelli sings the entire pro
logue with almost unexampled sweet
ness and dramatic power. His voice,
in its upper register, has all the
smoothness and ease of a great tenor
without ever losing its superb baritone
quality. In tE.e high moments of the
prologue it rings like a trumpet. If
Zanelli’s fame rested on this achieve
ment alone, it would assure him a place
forever among the great singers of the
world.

rival the motor car >n popular songs a>
a vehicle for ioy riders. "Wait TiD
You Gel Them Up in the Ait. Boys." is
one of these songs sung by Billy Mur
rm on a nev Victor Record. The song
is a wonder Between the music you
can hear the whirr of the engine and
the shriek of the wind. But high above
these sounds you can catch what is
probably the wildest souirti in nature—
the scream of a girl in a joy ride. On
rhe reverse side of this record is a
rattling quartet, "Floatin’ Down to
Cotton Town.” The music has th«
snap and go of a quickstep
with faint reminiscences of "Dixie,”
and whistle effects from the Old
sissippt stern-wheelers.
De Gogorza sings &
song for lovers
Is love sweetest in its first realx*a
tion. or after it has become settled and
matured? Lovers perhaps will differ
widely as to the answer, but there n
no doubt but what the sweetness
budding love has furnished the theme
for the greater number of songs and
poems. “Dear Heart,” which DeGo
gorza sings on a new Victor Record, is
undeniably the song of a love that has
become a permanent element of being.
It is a song of such tenderness as can
not be awakened in a day. and which
cannot depend upon hope, but fulfill
ment. It is sung by DeGogorza with
rare artistic finish and profound emo
tional force.
Without doubt one of the greatest
concert-waltzes ever written is the “In
vitation to the Waltz,” by Weber. The
sumptuousness of the ball—youth, love.
glittering lights,
the perfume o f
flowers, beautiful
faces adream with
the spell of music
and ectasy of mo
tion can be seen
as well as heard
in every beat of
the wonderful mu
sic as played by'
the Philadelphia
Orchestra on a
new Victor Re c
ord. In truth,
this is dance mu
sic spiritualized.
It has many melo
dies, some of them
almost deliriously
beautiful, each
seemingly more lovely and entertaining
than the last. The feet not only move
to its rhythm and the body sway, but the
brain itself is carried away by the mys
terious exaltation of the dance.
Henry Burr is always at his best in
sopgs tinged with the pathos of love
that is lost or unattainable. On one of
the new Victor Records he sings “You
Didn’t Want Me When You Had Me,"
a real tragedy of youth’s undecisioou
Love was trilled with because it wa»
easy to be had. It died, but through
the blinding mists of regretfulness and
pain, remains in the song just a
trace of its old lingering, pure fire. Mr,
Burr and Albert Campbell sing “I Am
Climbing Mountains” on the reverie
side of the record. This is one of
those halt-tragic, half-whimsical songs
of regret from the lover who strikes
high and fails.
No music is more beautiful than the
sound of men’s voices blended in rich,
strong harmony. On one of the new
Victor Records “Wonderful Pal” and
“There’s a Lot of Blue-Eyed Marys
Down in Maryland,” are sung by nude
voices. The first, sung by the Sterling
Tpio, is a tender and appealing song,
and the other has a sharp ragtime
rhythm and a tune and harmonies one
can’t easily forget. The latter is sung
by the Shannon Four.

Pietro and his accordion
give several new
dance numbers
Every dancer whose feet have tripped
the “light fantastic” to Victor Record
tunes knows Pietro. A new record of
his contains "My Baby’s Arms,” a fox
trot medley and a one-step medlgy
called, "And He’d Say 00-La-La 1 Wee
Wee 1” The fox-trot is from one of the
Ziegfeld Follies, and Pietro rags it to
the queen's taste. These are probably
the liveliest numbers this popular ac
cordionist has put over.
The All-Star Trio presents two fox
trot medleys this month on a Victor
Record that are guaranteed as a sune
cure for married grouches. “I Want >
Daddy Who Will Rock Me to Sleep” i*
from the Greenwich Village Follies, in
troducing besides the title number, “The
Critics’ Blues” and “My Marionette."
The medley on the other side of the
record has the title, “All the Quakew
Are Shoulder Shakers,” but include*
‘‘Take Me to That Land of Jaxx,”
“When the Preacher Makes You Mine,"
and "Jazz Baby.”
Joseph C. Smith’s Orchestra also of
fers two fox-trot medleys on a Victor
Record this month. “Angel Face” con
tains serenade passages of great beauty,
in which brass instruments are promi
nent. There also are delightful beß
and trap effects. “Patches,” for variety
of effect introduces two pianos. Tho
music has a splendid exhilarating
rhythm. The pianos are played bjt
Hugo Frey and Frank Banta.
Smith’s Orchestra also presents on *
Victor Record a medley waltz called
“Oh. What a Pal Was Mary,” and •
medley one-step "Nobody Knows.” The
first, so popular as a song, has been
turned into a waltz without losing any
of its great charm and tenderness
When Mary died, her lover sorrowed
greatly, but in the waltz, the anguish
of separation resolve- itself into the
painlessness of dreams. ‘‘Nobody
Knows,” by Irving Berlin, is another
song success incorporated into a dash
ing one-step. It introduces ‘‘l've Got
My Captain Working for Me Now."
