miles from this el*y, at "Woodlawn,”
the ancestral home of his family.
His father was Col. T. G. Umar, a
gallant soldier of the Confederacy,

the place where his boyhood was

The World’s Greatest Singing: Organization to Give One
Concert in This City. Seat Sale Opens Saturday. Mail
Orders Now.
Choral Singing a National Pastime
Every nation has its national
sport, or Its national pastime, or
at all events, one field of activity
In which It excels or takes parti
cular pride. Thus when we men
tion Italy, vat Immediately think of
the opera; Americans nnd baseball
are as Inseparable as the Siamese
twins; the French bring to mind
their exquisite cuisine; we behold
a Spaniard and are reminded of a
bull-fight and so on. Perhaps the
one thing which can be In this
manner attached to the Russians is
their love for choral singing.
Wherever you see a group of Rus
sians you may be sure that part of
the time will ho spent in singing.
The setting is Immaterial; whether
it Is a solemn meeting a frivolous
affair, a wedding or a funeral, it
will end in an hour or so of singing
in which everybody will participate
to the full extent of their lunge.
It Is but natural that this love
for choral singing should have led
to a rich folk-lore. With the Irish
and the negro, the Russian assured
ly deserves to share the palm of
supremacy in possessing a treasure
chest of folk-songs unsurpassed by
any other nation In the world. A
folk-song comes from nowhere, hut
may lead to the heights. In the
rase of Russian folk-songs they
have had the good fortune to be
immortalized by many of Russia’s
greatest composers. Almost every
one of Chaikovsky's great sympho
nies Is based on a simple folk-song,
such as for instance, the Volga
Boatmen's song have become
known all over the world because
of their universal appeal. One or
another of these Russian songs
“The Seventh Heaven” Pleases Large Audi

A Criticism of John Golden’s Famous Play to Appeatr
Here for Three Days, Commencing Thursday, Nov. 27.
The best part about John
Golden's plays is that they all
measure up to the standard —the
standing of "Litfhtnin',” “Turn to
the Right, ” "Thank-U,” etc. —and
if anything better their predeces
sors just a shade.
Such is the case with "Seventh
Heaven,” a newcomer to local
theatregoers, bearing the Golden
brand and living up to the Golden
reputation, which opened a week’s
stay at the Academy of Music last
night to the best first nigtt house
of the season.
Intensely dramatic and withal
cleverly funny. "Seventh' Heaven,”
in some respects, outdistances even
"Llghtnin" then which more than
a few were wont to declare there
could be no better.
"Seventh Heaven” is a tribute to
the finesse of its author and its
producer, to say nothing of the
most excellent cast which inter
prets faultlessly.
It is a tribute to French wo
manhood—the courageous rising to
the emergency during the World
War—a tribute to will-power and
courage such as the American stage
has seldom seen.
Laid in the squalor of lower
Paris, midst sewer men and tho
socially prominent street cleaners,
in the thick of petty thlevesf and
pickpockets, in the hectic days Jusi
preceding nnd Just after the war.
"Seventh Heaven” is a gem that
glitters one moment with its ex
cellent humor nnd casts a sombreg
low the next moment with its heavy
drama.
The play has poise—a poise not
given it by the casts entirely, but
rather by the exceptional balance
vfilh which it hangs on the very
edge of comedy-drama.
"Seventh Heaven" serves to give
play to the fpllcst exten; the won
derful dramatic ability of Remy
Carpen, as "Diane," heroine of a
romance that transports her from
the squalor of the streets to the
"Seventh Heav.fi," Miss Carpen is
more than excellent in her part.
She assumes a lead that she never
relinquishes, warms to one's heart
to stay and tears at heart’s rings
with a tenderness that is master
ful.
Opposite her plays Douglas „lao-
Pherson as "Chico," sewer cleaner,
athlest, true-beltever, and lover ex
traordinary. "Chico" is a difficult
part at best, hut could he handled
no better than It Is portrayed by
Douglas MacPherson. His conceit is
refreshing, his faith ennobling, and
his heart—a troublemaker, always.
Handling the comedy parts mas
terfully and with Just a few lapses
into the dramatic. Johil W. Ran
some ns "lloul," is an immediate
favorite. He does some excellent
comedy work, and his description

cast upon which Golden has built a
