The night school conducted by the board of education is proving a great success. Several are availing them- selves of the privileges affered. There MUSIC THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LIKE BEST Many Christmas Hymns, gemsofOpera and Patriotic Songs that unmistak- ably have the call, interpreted by World-famed Artists HE approach of the Christmas season instinctive- ly awakens in the hearts of millions m a keen desire to hear those time- H honored hymns Mand carols so re- dolent of the Day of all the year to f childhood; for are they not asso- ciated with our own earliest re- collections, and valued for their cherished memories? 3 ‘What wonder then, that when revivified by the interpretations of the world’s Breatest artists and perpetuated by ‘means of Victrola Records, they should live in the favor ot music-lovers every- where. A rehearing, therefore, of that beauti- ie PGantiqne is oel” oly, Night) simg b# Enrico Caruso; the master tenor, on a Victrola Record, finds it as fresh and inspir- ing as the day it was first presented to the world. itself, it is a splendid, gor- geously harmon ized piece of music, picturesque in character, yet deeply reverent in spirit. As a gem is enhanced in value by a superb setting, so the delight in this Christmas song of the first or- der is increased by the purity of tone and noble dignity of interpretation which Caruso employs. Imagine, if you can, fifty, thousand people assembled in one place at one time listening to one person sing, and you will have a vision of that mighty concourse—the largest audience that ever gathered in Central Park—when recently Caruso sang, “Over There.” The effect was overwhelming, for there were doubtless few in that vast assem- bly that did not know that Caruso had immortalized that. song on a Victrola Record. Do you think it unusual -that Caruso. should sing a song of phis character? It may be, but there are those who believe that out of the mnany war-born. songs, the most of which Will soon pass into oblivion, this one will live. The dynamic energy of George M. Cohan, the composer, coupled with the passionate eloquence of the great Italian tenor, produce an effect that is irresistible, and set. the pulses wildly beating. : “Dixie,” that’ time-honored — tune, which our boys are singing today on the “battlefields of Frarice and’ Belgium, we always love:to ar.» But Mabel Gar- rison does much more than merely sing on her Victrola Record of the song. She. vividly, interprets it. Being a .Southerner by birth she sings the fam- ‘ous melody with vigor and enthusiasm which fairly carry you.off your feet. To hear it sung bya great. artist who is emotionally and temperamentally fitted to sing it, by birt! a revelation of its astonishing vitality and power. . ‘Akin in feeling to the thrilling effect produced is that of the great war-son, of France, “La Marseillaise,” presente by Frances Alda on a Victrola Record. Aglow with the spirit of liberty it is ‘one of the most remarkable of her re- cordings and the interest is intensified by the accompaniment of the Metro- politan chorus of singers in the refrain. Among all the Victrola Records he has made, Jascha Heifetz, the youth- ful genius of the violin, is at his best in his playing of “Ave Maria”—so many Inusie-lovers of discriminati taste frequently assert. Certain it is that this exquisite melody gives ample opportunity for (the violin fo reveal particularly well the song-like qualities the instrument and for this young izard to display his mastery over his instrument in a wonderful manner. Gluck sings “everybody's favorite” Of all the sparkling. gems of song with which Alma Gluck. delights the myriads of admirers of her Victrola Records “Carry Me Back to Old Vir- ginny” shines out with the brilliance of the: noon-day sun; and the court of : blic opinion has a 2 10 ee Phe song itself, with its tender 2 gentiment, pulls ‘strongly at, the heart- ) ‘mtrings, aaa the interpretation of this Beloved artist gains a willing entrance to the innermost precincts. ‘A new appeal. is linked familiar song of other days, “Where is My Boy To- which Homer sings on a Vic- trola Record with such ‘tender em- phasi: ‘is ap- peal is: suggestive of him who is ab- sent on quite a different mission from that voiced by the original sentiment of the song. While it usually brings Yi consciousness of 4 the dangers of the soul, it is poignantly sugges- tive in the Rr sent crisis of the physical danger to him whose whereabouts in fighting his country’s battles is problem- atical, : It is only natural that the interpre- tation Galli-Curci gives the “Mad Scene” from “Lucia” should become a favorite from among the many fine Vic- Records which this noted colora- are now enough students for two di visisons in ‘both stenography and |, bookkeeping. Supt J. M. Martin states that he is well pleased with the way in which capital city people are accepting this opportunity. The | school is open each Monday, Wednes- day and Friday evening in the high school building. Chief Justice Bruce Here Chief Justice Andrew A. Bruce, who retires from the North Dakota su- preme bench tomorrow, arrived at noon yesterday from Minneapolis to attend to preliminaries incident to his retirement. The chief justice will be succeeded. Monday by Associate Just- ice-Elect Harry A. Bronson, while As- sociate Justice A.: M. Christianson, \now holding the short term, will’ be- come chief justice. Judge Bruce has accepted the chair of law at the Uni- versity of Minnesota. IN MINERVA’S ENCHANTING DOMAIN warded it first hon-7 ture soprano has made, for this is among the best known of all coloratura arias. It is just such an operatic selec- tion as this with which Galli-Curci is most “at home,” :and consequently at her best. _ To hear an artist play his own com- position is not only a rare occurrence but heightens even the keen interest one may have in his performing. Pader- ewski plays his own “Minuet in G” on a Victrola Record, and this is regarded by many as his standard record. Know- ing that his interpretation will form a sort of goal for countless amateur per- formers, Paderewski seems to have recognized an opportunity here to dis- play his utmost ‘art. j sa Christmas and home sung into the heart by McCormack. The beauty of John McCormack’s voice was never better displayed nor the devout spirit he brings 0 ail sacred songs more directly in evidence than in his interpretation of “Adeste Fideles” (Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful) on a Vic trola Record. His singing stands out above the rich harmonies ot the splen- didly balanced male choir which ac- companies him, and above the colored splendors of the orchestra, too. What more gracious way of beginning Christ- mas Day can one think of than by lis- tening to this reverent, joyous hymn as McCormack sings it! i But he also sings another on a Vic- trola Record that will be cherished in memory’s halls long after the war is over. “Keep the Home Fires Burning” is a veritable heart-song that McCor- mack sends straight “home,” as is evi- denced by the constant demand for this justly popular record. 2 In line with patriotic song is a fantasie of patriotic airs by Victor Her- bert—one of the noblest compositions that ever came from his pen. It is played by Victor Herbert's orchestra on a Victor Recor! Its themes include “Hail Columbia,” “Old Folks at Hor : ‘he Girl I Left Behind Me,” “Dixig.' “Columbia The Gem of the Ocean,” and “The Star Spangled Banner.” Its reat worth has been forcibly proven, due probably to its patriotic appeal, coupled with the fact that .it is recorded here complete under the-baton of the com- poser who is also an unrivalled or- chestra leader. ; ‘As the meeting of friends after a lapse of years stirs the emotions, so the hearing of a long forgotten song is apt to awaken pre- cious memories. Thus when | Clar- ence Whitehill sings, “I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen,” as he does on a Victrola Record, he strikes a chord that vi- brates as of yore in the hearts of 4 many; and the freshness ‘of its appeal defies the ravages of time. Truly alive with the spirit of Christmas are two g@tand old. hymns Nhat will never lose , appropriateness year for all the years to come. their interest and at this season of the “An- gels from the Realms of Glory” and “Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem” are both sung by Trinity Choir on one Victor Record. If it becomes the good fortune. of any to be awakéned on Christmas morning by the hearing of this record, the effect will be as impressive as it is startling and pleasing. . *o*# * Music that dancers won't let die little trick in the he Blues,” fox trot jazzy" way the Original Dixieland Jazz Band plays it on a Vic- tor Record that keeps up the call for “more?” At any rate that and its com- panion one-step, “‘Sensation-Rag”. om the reverse of the record enjoy a sus7, tained popularity that bespeaks' the acquaintance of every one who trips the “light fantastic.” Again, those who know “what's what” in dance music have promptly appropriated the “Missouri Waltz” as played by Joseph C. Smith's Orchestra on a Victor Record, and refuse to let it go. No less will they give up “Kiss Me Again Waltz”—that fine Victor Herbert melody in a popular opera of some seasons ago, which is on the other side of the record. Dance music that will last any length of time must be good, indeed, and these selections certainly are all of that. A popular song that strikes a sym- pathetic chord in human nature is pretty sure to make a hit. Witness the verification of this statement in that soldier song that Arthur Field sings on a Victor Record, Oh! How I Hate to Get. Up in the Morning.” It teems with the happy-go-lucky spirit of the soldier; and besides, it has a sentiment that the civilian can thoroughly appreciate. “OH, Erenche on the other side of the record, tells how Rosie went ta France with an ambulance, and fell in Jove with Jean, a French poilu, who matched her irresistible gaiety with his own, “The Last Long Mile” is a rattling good marching song that speedily went “over the top” in public favor. It is the marching song of Plattsburg and has a swing that carries you along with it to the very end.: It is sung by Charles Hart with the Shannon Four on a Victor Record. And on the reverse side is another of the song successes of the war—“K-K-K-Katy,” composed by Geoffrey O'Hara, that jovial song leader at one of the. embarkation camps, and sung by Billy Murray. Two gems of opera, of which people never tire, are to be found on one Vic- tor Record—the “Iucia Sexette” and the “Rigoletto Quartet,” sung respec- tively by the Victor Opera Sextette and the Victor Opera Quartet. It is seldom that two such splendid concerted num: bers are to be found together, and thi fact has made this record indeed fam- ous. When we think of the wealth of the world’s musical treasure, from the old fayorites to the newest songs and in- strumental selections, that everyone may have in his own home and call upon anytime to satisfy the every musi- cal: mood and fancy, it is surprising that there is not a Victrola in every home in the country. To realize just what this means one has but to visit the nearest Victor dealer and ask him to play any music that best suits the taste; and he will gladly do it, Dance Great Success The Thanksgiving night dance given by the Bismarck firemen at Patter- son’s hall Thursday evening proved the most successful event Bismarck’s fire-fighters have ever sponsored. Tickets were sold to the value of $183, and it is estimated that at least 200 couples attended. The hall was ap- propriately decorated for the occasion, O’Connor’s full orchestra played one of its best programs, and everyone enjoyed dancing until 1 a. m.

[ High School Notes | oe School has been resumed ugain after the vacation on account of the influ- enza, but since then two of the high school teachers have had the flu: Miss Finch and Miss Celin.

Everyone is requested to leave the bulldipg while the rooms ure ventilat- ed. The United War Work Campaign was successfully carried out in the high school.

Sev- eral combinations were suggested by the class, but the two most popular were gol dand white, and green and silver. Green and silver finally won by vote, and the colors are now up in the assembly room. The Junior class held a meeting last week, the purpose of which was to or- ganize the class.

Apparently the approved method of | wearing a mask is to keep it suspend- *led under the chin until a policeman appears in sight when it is hastily pulled over the nose and mouth. De- spite the objections, the local board of health has decided in gradually lift- ing the influenza restrictions, that masks must be worn in theatres, street cars, moving picture shows and the like though the wearing of them on the streets is now abolished. Theatres also have reopened and the audience presented a strange appear- ance, the management enforcing the rule of wearing masks. Not to be outdone, Dame Fashion decreed that women shall wear black masks. Theatre crowds present a checkerboard appearance, with the black masks of the women alternating with the white masks of their escorts.

LUMBER-‘MILL_ MEN PREFER WOMAN LABOR Rapid City, S. D., Nov. 27—Lumber’ mill men in this region seemingly have nged their ideas regarding the effi- ciency of female labor. For years they opposed it; now they are on the other side of the fence. For more than six months, a com- pany with probably the largest lum- ber interests in South Dakota, has been filling male vacancies with wom- en_and girls..
