12 TWO MORE TAKEN INACHER SHOOTING Doctors Are Unable to Re- move Bullet From Spine of Foot Ball Player. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 14.—The riddle of the shooting of John C. Acher, Northwestern University foot ball player, revolved around two new suspects today. Benjamin Zuckerman and Benjamin Glaser were arrested when their sedan was found with a smashed fender. Po- lice believed their car collided with Acher’s shortly before he was shot. Garagemen told police the men had used the sedan early Sunday, when two bullets fired from a_ similar machine w ed the foot ball player, perhaps ration last night, doctors said the bullet in Acher’s spine d t be removed. He might live, id, but his chances were few. e yesterday released Phillip L. president of the American nhouse Manufacturing Co., when convinced his car was not wounded by shots from a 1 after his car and the | 4 collided in a minor accident.

Her group of Cuban songs showed in- teresting contrast in mood and each of the four numbers was an admirable concert number. The two composers represented were Eduardo Sanchcz de Fuentes and Ernesto Lecuona. All four songs were new to Washington audi- ences, and local singers who have mas- tered the knack as well as the language for Spanish numbers would find them fresh and pleasing songs to add to their repertoire. A familiar French song was the encore. In her second group of songs by American writers the soft beauty of Campbell -Tipton's “Spirit Flower” opened the §mup and was followed by an artistic interpretation of the pular Cadman, “Land of the Sky- lue Water.” The last of the group, however, was one of the singer's most | effective numbers. It was H. Lane Wil- | son's “Carmena,” sung with Spanish verve and real drama in the vocal color. ‘The encore to this group was perhaps the most popular of all her numbers, being the unusual little song by Peel, “The Early Morning.” It was beauti- fully done, with lovely high note, ex- | cellent phrasing and artistry. It will be interesting to watch this young singer’s progress, for with her ‘voice, her Spanish background and more €X- perience she should in due time make a big place for herself in the music world. James Russell Barr was her ac- companist. Every one knows the recognized ex- cellence of Adolph Bolm's personal dex- terity as a dancer and genius as a designer of ballets. His ensemble of dancers showed the thorough technical training of the Russian ballet school at its best. Each number was artisti- cally grouped and the costumes were | fresh and unusually attractive. | unlikely that at the present time M | Bolm has an equal for the lightning- quick flashes of his motions or th facile ease of his command over th most difficult of ballet steps. Also hi: power as a mime is superlative. He vitalizes the scene whenever he appears, no matter how fine the dancing of others present. Agnes George de Mille (who s said to | be a sister to Cecil de Mille of mo- tion picture fame) showed marked in- genuity and supreme stage personality |in_her three solo da which re- quired clowning of arti proportions. The “Stage Fright,” after a painting by Degas, was particularly fine, but the audience generally responded more whole-heartedly to *1849,” an interpre: tation of a gawky, Southern mduntain- eer, or Western pioneer type. She achieved that miracle of a hand-clap- ping rhythmic response from her au- dience with an easy gesture of in- vitation on her owa part. Any who have studied ballet to any extent could thoroughly sympathize with the pathet- ic quality of her second Degas interpre- tation, “The Ballet Class.” The third dance soloist of the even- ing also was a delightful artist in her line, being a specialist in the dances of the Orient. Vera Mirova, with her beautiful physique, brilliant personality and authentic interpretations of dances ' of Java, Burma, Bali and India, won much personal applause from the 2u- dlence. —H. F. LEOPOLD STOXKOWSKI RETURNS. That remarkable organization the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra opened its current season for Wash- ington at the Auditorium yesterday aft- ernoon under the guidance of its own leader, Leopold Stokowski, who has been absent for a year due to illness.

The applause for the leader amounted to an ovation and sustained such proportions throughout the program. The men of the orches- tra, too, received their share from an unusually enthusiastic audience, led by Mrs. Coolidge. First came two selections from “Die Meistersinger,” followed by the over- ture and liebestod from “Tristan und Isolde.” 1In the liebstod, Stokowski has always given a wonderful interpre- tation, but if anything he surpassed himself yesterday, the ethereal quality of the finel phrases fairly shimmering as they hung in beautifully suspended | tones from the violins and the brasses, softly rounded, completed the spell. | The “Forest Whispers” from ‘“Sieg- {ried” were given freshness and due programmatic color, with special ap- plause for the flute and oboe. The last | three selections from “Die Goetter- daemmerung” made a continuous tap- concert to an end with a blazing finale. It was the most inspiring concert given since the Philadelphians closed their local season last year, and it set estry of effective music to bring the | a high standard for the coming guest conductors at other performances. As| usual, Mr. Stokowski conducted entire- 1y from memory. H.F. e AT S AR Berlin Traction Lines Merged.

A Real Spirit of Service/ “Undoubtedly a very great factor in the continued progress and improvement of telephone service is the intangible but quite real spirit of service that has Ry become a tradition in the telephone business WALTER S. GIFFORD, President of the American Telephone and Tehgmgh Company (Bell System] Q Every minute of the day or night 50,000 telephones are ringing somewhere in the United States! 3,000,000 every hour! 73,000.000 telephone conversations take place during the course of a day! @ Telephone service has become a vital service. Never fora moment must it falter The message must get through ; the service must be kept at the highest standard of efficiency. That is the creed of the army of telephone workers—374,000 of them—who operate the country's telephone system. € Many and varied are the functions of these workers, for the business of furnishing telephone service is one of great com= plexity. It requires specialists in scores of diverse activities. €] But different as are the tasks of this army of telephone workers, thousands of whom are men and women of the Chesa- peake and Potomac Telephone Company, they are moved by a common purpose—to get the message through in the most efficient way and the shortest possible time. € Throughout the twenty-four hours of each day, three hundred and sixty-five days of each year, this is the purpose which continually actuates our people—a purpose that inspires in them a real spint of service.
