CARUSO SINGS HIS
OWN GREAT VERSION
sk OF THE “AVE MARIA”
f Makes Valuable Contribution to
World’s Devotional Music—
Other Great Victor Artists
; ' Give Notable Interpre
tations for April
0 ARUSO not only
id is a great singer
>' but he has that
>’ indispensable qual
fl ity of a great ar
-11 s t creative
fl’< getiius. On a new
Victor Record
fl Caruso sings his
>’ own Italian ver
fl sion of the Latin
,’J “Ave Maria.” The
fl melody, like a
,’j golden river of
fl sound, is carried
d along by the voice
of the singer in
& wro " y
complete and glorious harmony With
the voices of stringed and wood-wind
instruments and the tones of bells and
a harp- The bell-tones sometimes
Sound as if remote and far; some
times, again, as if clanged out high,
clear and melodious from some un
seen belfry overhead. The number
ends w'ith a beautifully and fervently
intoned "Amen,” the bells still pealing
and still echoing their message among
themselves. The music is such as to
awaken and thrill the soul. It is a
great contribution to the world’s de
votional music.
Frances Alda is a great singer of
love songs. For her latest Victor Rec
ord she has chosen "If You Could
Care,” the love song from the musical
comedy success, “As You Were.” The
song, which is in a slow, delicious
waltz time, has taken all Europe by
storm and promises to meet with equal
popularity on this side. Mme. Alda
, sings it against low-crooning strings,
silver bell notes and glittering harp
tones. The effect is to make the hearer
catch breath.
A Gypsy serenade, as lovely as it is
weird and capricious, is played by
Fritz Kreisler on
one of the Victor r
ig) L'UPONrKBKBMI
one or rne victor
Records for April.
The serenade is
introduced by a
brief orchestral
passage and one
wonders for a mo
ment if the vio
lin is that of
Kreisler. Then
the mighty tone
of the master is
heard, clear, in
cisive and eager,
as if the very
aoul of the ser
enader went forth
into the voice of
t h e instrument. Kreisler
The ear is sur
prised, delighted, and one feels like
having lost a dear companion when
the serenade ends.
Two of the loveliest cradle songs
imaginable are sung by Elsie Baker on
a new Victor Record "Sweet and
Low" has a rocking, lilting rhythm that
haunts the memory. “A Southern Lul
laby” has a refrain that Miss Baker
hums in her warm, rich, flute like
voice with the buzzing effect of the
violincello. “Irene” and “Alice Blue
Gown” represent the first Victor re
cordings of Edith Day, the new Broad
way idol. They are from the musical
comedy “Irene,” in which Miss Day
starred.
Farrar and De Luca Sing
a Delightful Duet
"11 Bacio” (The Kiss) is a moment
cf brightness in the dramatic storv of
"Zaza,” Leoncavallo’s opera of love
and ambition, hatred and jealousy. It
is sung in the opera by Zaza, the con
cert-hall singer, and Cascart, her part
ner, behind the actual scenes of the
opera. The baritone begs for a kiss,
but is. playfully but firmly denied. The
duet is so melodious that it is a won
der it hasn’t already been whistled on
the street. Miss Farrar and De Luca
Sing it on a new Victor Record with
such artistic finish as to make it a
thing of immediate yet lingering
de’ight.
Generations yet to come will keep
alive the old Gospel songs. Thev rep
resent an inheritance of the sincere
and simple religious faith of the peo
ple, one of the noblest gifts of the
human soul. For future generations,
a' well as we of the present, Ernestine
Schumann-Heink, great as a woman as
she is great as an artist, has sung
“In the Sweet Bye and Eye” on a
new Victor Record. It is sung with
the same perfection of utterance and
fullness of heart that have made the
singer beloved among mankind.

McCormack Sings a
New Love Song
Frw singers can so truly interpret
the spirit of a love song as John Mc-
Cormack. For hit latest Victor re
cording he has chosen “Your Eyes
Have Told Me So,” a song with a
tender and yet catching melody, sweet
flowipg harmonies and a refrain in
waltz tempo that is irresistible. Every
note is as clear and beautiful as a bell
tone, and the crowning high note, at
the end, is possible only to a great
tenor voice.
Persons familiar with Massenet’#
opera, “Herodiade,” will recall the pas
sages of extraordinary beauty and
sweetness in the aria, "Vision Fugi
tive” (Fleeting Vision). It is in this
aria that King lierod, in delerium,
tells of his hopeless love for Salome.
Reinaid Wcrrenrath, on a new Victor
Record, sings the aria in away that
seems to accentuate the charm of the
music without sacrificing any of its
dramatic fervor. Some of the passages
are ushered in by a lovely clarionet
phrase, and attended by softly-crooning
strings and wood-winds.
Back in the seventeenth century
there was an old gentleman named
Niccola Porpora who tried to become
the greatest com-
uic ut’itt-
poser of his time.
He didn't quite
succeed, but in
the proqess be
came the most fa
mous singing
teacher in his
tory. He wrote a
wonderful minuet
which Jascha Hei
fetz has redis
covered and
played on a new
Victor Record.
The minuet has -
a simple yet ec- ’
centric rhythm,
but it serves to
bring out the im
mense strength
m v. u t: an
and brilliancy of Heifetz’s tone.
Antonin Dvorak was the first mas
ter-composer to reveal the full beauty
of American negro music. His “Ameri
can Quartet" was produced under the
same deep and passionate inspiration
as his great “New World Symphony.”
The Flonzaleys have taken the F
Major movement, the most beautiful
of the quartet, for their latest Victor
recording. This is a record that should
be in every collection.
To many persons, no kind of music
possesses quite the same charm as
men’s voices blended in chorus. Thes*
persons will find much to delight them
in a new Victor Record containing
“Buddha,” sung by the Peerless Quar
tet, and “Let Me Dream,” sung by the
Sterling Trio.
Billy Murray, who is well-known to
Victor audiences, has discovered a
spring in life’s bone-dry wilderness.
It lies in Cuba, and he is going there
—at least so he avers in a new song,
"I’ll see you in C-U-B-A," sung on a
new Victor Record. On the other side
of the record he sings “That’s Worth
While Waiting For.”

New Dance Music!
of the Season
A more original fox trot never wa»
written, perhaps, than “80-La-Bo,”
played by Paul Biese and his Novelty
Orchestra. The melodies are weird
and wild beyond description, and
music never was arranged for a jazx
prehestra in more recklessly original
fashion. The other side of the record
contains “Harem Life,” a fox trot
written by Irving Berlin. It is sort
of a medley of familiar tunes, but the
dance rhythm never falters.
The All-Star Trio usually may be
counted upon to come through with
some original or ingenious dance
music “Venetian Moon,” a fox trot,
and “Swanec,” a one-step, on a new
Victor Record, are of such a character.
The former combines all the “Jazz
Spirit with the floating melody asso
ciated v.it!; the gcndola. “Swanee” is
reminiscent of ’Cid Folks at Home”
The Mockin**-R;rd” and other old
southern melodics. The sxxaphone,
xylophone and piano are used for both
dances.
Another Victor dance record for
April contain . In Your Arms,” a med
ley fox trot, and “That Naughty
Waltz. L._ former, a beautiful fox
trot full of sentiment, is played by
Sclvin s ?s . - t3y Orchestra. The
waltz, played ly Joseph C. Smiths
Orchestra, cont -is rnelcd’es which are
• smooth, pure and beautiful.
r It has been said that through music
alone can be expressed emotions that
: lie too deep for words. Whether this
; be true or not. it is a fact that music
( wdl carry a message of cheer, comfort,
hope or inspiration tn natures that

PRETTY BIRTHDAY
PARTY SATURDAY.
Little Miss Mary Hogg was hon- j
oree at a pretty birthday party giv-1
en at the home of her parents, Mr. ,
and Mrs. Bradley Hogg, on Lee :
street Saturday afternoon. Despite j
the rainy afternoon nearly all the .
little guests appeared and were truly I

ic they enjoyed. Assisting Mrs.
Hogg in amusing and entertaining
the little tots were Florence Fort,
Thelma Hogg, Cordelia H joks and
Martha Duncan.
After the games had been en

little guests searched until every one
had been discovered. Foy Wallis
and Nancy Hooks tied for the prize,
which was, awarded Foy Wallis af
ter drawing lots. The reward was a
picture made from golden egg shells.
The living rooms were bright with
woodland flowers, and in the dining
room, where the little folks were
seated, the table had for its central
ornamentation the large birthday
cake from which gleamed the four
lighted tapers and surrounded with
I pink rosebuds. At each plate was
placed an individual cake, and a rab
bit stuffed with delicious candy, was
! the favor for each guest. A lighted
taper burned at each ‘place, and the
children enjoyed blowing out the in
dividual candle.
Cream was served with cake, and
those invited were Nancy, Hooks,
Margaret Hooks, Foy Wallis, Eliza

People who have impure or impover

and has been for nearly 50 years.
Ingredients printed on wrapper.
The first clay yon start to take this
reliable medicine, impure germs and
accumulations begin to separate in the
blood and are then expelled through
the eliminative organs.
In place of the impurities, the ar
teries and veins gradually get fresh
vitalized blood and the action of this
good blood on the skiu means that
pimples, boils, carbuncles, eczema,
rash, acne and many skin blemishes
will disappear. Then you must re

and you will have no more trouble
with indigestion, backache, headache.

A telegram received by Mrs. B. :
L. Guerry today announces the death
Sunday evening at Toledo, Ohio, of
Miss Alice Nall, a former resident of ■
Americus. The funeral will be held
this afternoon at Toledo. Miss Nall,

A PLAIN UNVARNISHED RECORD
VERSUS RIDICULOUS ABUSE
(An Editorial from The Atlanta
Journal, March 31, 1920)
N-0 Georgian to the manner
born will be deceived by par
tisan efforts to divert atten- I
tion from the vital issues in |
the Presidential primary through j
ranting abuse of Senator Hoke j
Smith. That robustious school of pol
itics has torn passion to tatters all too
often to draw more than a fatigued
smile from the informed native pub- 1
lie. Late comers to the Common
wealth, however, may be puzzled to
account for the melodramatic stride,
the air-sawing gesture, the peanut
gallery gaze, the hoarsely bellowed
‘‘Curses on ye” that instantly be
came the role in certain quarters j
when Sentaor Smith entered the pri
mary. If such bewildered’ onlook
ers there are, we beg of them not
to judge all Georgia, nor even the
little company of players now
stamping the stage, by this moment’s '
outburst. The State is in no wise
hysterical; an-i after a while our
vituperative friends themselves will
lay aside the tragic mask and ad
mit that although there was method
in their madness, tiiey decidedly
over-played the part.
What the foes of the senior Sen
ator may say against him or what
his friends may say for him is not
so important as what the record
itself declares that indisputable'
record of Georgia and American
history whose aim it is, “nothing to
extenuate, nor set down aught in
malice.” Whoever caies to consult
this impartial witness will find that
Hoke Smith has done many a ser
viceable deed for his Common
wealth and his country. They will
find him as a youth of twenty-one
defending the integrity of the bal
lot against carpet-bag invasion, de
fying the bayonet rule under which
the South then labored. They will
find him as chairman of the Fulton
Democratic Executive Committee, a
leader in the hard, grim battles of
Reconstruction, and later a pioneer
in the larger fields of Southern edu
cation. They will see him in 1893
called to the forefront of President
Cleveland’s administration, young
est Cabinet memuer ever known, save
Alexander Hamilton, and then the
first Georgian to be honored in that
capacity since the breach between
the States. They will see him as
Secretary of the Interior putting an
lend to Federal pension frauds that
were costing the people millions, and
at the same time fully protecting the
interests of every rightful bene
ficiary.
Looking further, they will recog-
I nize him as an outstanding expon
’ ent of liberal as opposed to reac
i tionary thought in Georgia politics,
I and will judge of his appeal to the
I public mind by the fact that in the
memorable Governor’s race in 1906
I he carried one hundred and twenty-
I two of the one hundred and forty
leight counties, carried them over
| whelmingly against four of the most
distinguished and personally popular
j opponents that ever a candidate fac
| ed. Two years later they see him
'defeated for re-election; but with
the cooling lapse of still another two
I years, they see him returned to the
I Governor’s chair, his constructive
1 policies vindicated. Next they will
i note his selection by a decisive
j majority to fill the unexpired term
of the lamented Senator Clay, and
will observe that in his subsequent
race before the people he was elect
ed, receiving one hundred and thirty
thousand votes—one of the most
emphatic tributes in the state’s an
nals.
This is the man and this the rec
| ord that insensate partisanship now
i attacks as though he were guilty of
I high ermies and misdemeanors. To
I what specific act do the wagers of
j this wild war against character and
' achievement refer? It is the Smith
’ Lever law, that monumental meas-
I ure which has done more for the
j agricultural interest of the South and
'of the common country than any
I other one piece of legislation—is it
I this that they so bitterly resent in
Senator Smith’s record? Or is it
the Smith-Hughes Vocational Educa
tional law, or the Smrtn-Feares act
for the rehabilitation of disabled sol
diers, or the pending Smith-Towner
bill, providing for a Secretary of
Education in the President’s Cabinet
and for a fund of $100,000,000 to
promote public educational interests?
Do they denounce the senior senator
for his persistent and fruitful labors
in behalf of Georgia schools, Geor
gia farms and Georgia ports? Or
are they bursting with indignation
because as one of the leading fram-
' her death. Besides her brother, with
whom she resided, Miss Nall ’®. S P'
vived by a number of relatives hvi g
in this community. , , .
Previous to going to Toledo to re
side Miss Nall, who wc- a stenogra
pher of unusual ability, was emp oj
ed by a number of Americus attor
neys, and in addition gave instruction
in stenography to a number of Amei
icus young people, who attained pio
ficiency under her direction. oi
several months before leaving Amei
icus, her health had been declining,
and announcement of her death was
not unexpected among her fnenr >
here.

I stood out for amendments which
made it possible for three regional
banks to be established m the cotton

i here as the measure was originally
proposed? Or are they incensed be
: cause, largely through his endeavors
i the Reserve Bank of the Sixth Lbs-
I trict was allotted to Georgia instead
of Alabama or Louisiana? Do they
i consider it traitorous in Senator
Smith to have saved Camp Gordon
and Camp Benning from being blot
: ted from the map as Republican par
; tisans of the House and Senate had
designed and well nigh accomplished
; Can they deny for a moment that in
' all which pertains to the business,
the agricultural and the educational
I interests of Georgia, and of the com
mon couuntry, he has been unfail
ingly vigilant and constructive.’ Or
can they pretend that work like this
■ deserves no better appreciation than
; headlong abuse?
As to the senior senator’s war-
■ time services, the record again is
the one fair court of appeal. Not
1 even his intensest political enemy can
gainsay that in the winter of 1915-
1916 he urged immediate and full
i sinewed preparation for the emer
gency which broke upon us the fol
i lowing spring, and that long ere this
he pleaded for army and navy ex
, pansion in spite of pronounced op
; position to that policy on the part
of a number of other
leaders. It can not be gainsaid that
j he spoke and voted for the arming
i of our merchant ships, his warmth of
'argument in that connection leading
him almost into a p<-.- nal difficulty
i with Senator La Follette, who op
: posed the measu.e. Following the
declaration of war, which he earn
| estly supported, he exerted himself,
I as a member of tne Senate Finance
. Committee, in behalf of unstinted
: appropriations and the speediest pos
' sible program for mobilizing the
i country’s every fighting resource. He
; voted for the selective service bill
and aggressively advocated it, at the
; very time when Democrats like
Speaker Clark and Floor Leader
I Kitchin were opposing it, and when
lit seemed that supporters of the
measure were hazarding their politi
! cal all. Is it for his record on these
i vital war matters that Senator Smith
is being denounced?
The Food Control bill, the Fuel
I Control bill, the Railroad Federaliza
| tion bill and the Overman bill, all
; received his vote, and, in so far as
j their basic principles were concerned,
j his earnest advocacy, he stood
' for certain amendments to them on
the ground that in their original form
■ they were either defective or were
j needlessly inimical to common inter
jests and common rights; and those
amendments were adopted. Likewise
i he supported the Merchants Marine
| bill, not only when it was introduced
ias a war emergency measure, but
I also when it was first proposed, dur
; ing the earlier stages of the Euro-
I pean conflict. How his colleagues re
garded Senator Smith’s work and his
i counsel in the critical tasks of win
ning the war is seen in the fact that
| they created an additional place on
I the Military Affairs Committee for
i the express purpose of assigning him
I to it; and any informed Senator will
i testify that after Mr. Smith took that
; post, friction between the committee
