Quite the feature of the evening| musically was the initial appearance in Washington a singer, of Senorita Flodia Martin-Rivero, of Havana, Cuba. caughter of a former Minister of Cuba 1 United States. Senorita Mar- tin-Rivero has a graceful and charming personality. She is very pretty and her really beautiful, clear soprano voice shows intelligent training as well as rwch feeling. She was at her best in her second number, the Mexican song. “Estrelita.” Her first song was Osma’s Spanich “Song of My Native Sofl." which is a difficult song to sing effctively in so large an auditorium.

French Thought and BY RENE PONTHIEU OF PARIS. If you will glance at the works of our great pocts, historians and phi- losophers. vou will frequently find preise of liberty, speeches in defenze of liberty, odes to liberty. What bet- ter proof to show the important place which the idea of lib>rty holds in French thought? We are, it is said, the sons of Athens, never hesitating to cast out a talented citizen who menaces liberty: and of Rome as well, whers even the all-powerful Cass2r did nat dare to take the title of king. brcause it meant to Romans th~ complete supnression of liberty. How can one then fail to und=rstand Marine Band Program. The Marine Band did some excellent | playing under Mr. Scharbau's direction, and was no cripple in spite of the fact that the major portion of “The Presi- | dent's Own” is out on an Eestern tour | of nine weeks. making fine records and | gathering lengthy clipping of praise | right and left.
