THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Inhn McCormack Is Humble Man
In Public Life, Reporter Finds
B, Catherin EK,1, Haao
McCormack is human, And Mc
Cormack is Irish. And McCormack
has a contempt for would-be roport-
I found this out when I was
his guest at his concert which he
ygve in Lincoln, the state capitol,
Wednesday night of this week.
I am a reporter, but I prefer be
ing called a journalist. Somehow,
being clled a journalist is more re
fined anyhow, and the minutei you
mention reporters to McCormack he
is on his guard. They bother him
tremendously with silly questions
nd Irish politics, and that's the
main reason why he has an aversion
for them. After crashing through
the cold contempt of his manager, D.
F. MacSweney, and using a little
blarney to pave the way for an inter
view, I was ushered into the august
presence of the great man himself.
So much has been written about Mc
Cormack that it is hard to add any
thing and I can only say that he is
one of the most humble men in pub
lic life that I have ever met, and I've
met a good many, Mantell, Fritz
Leiber, Schumann-Heir.k, Galli-Cur-ci,
Thibauld, Maximilian Roset,
Amundsen, Whiteside, Sousa, Talley,
and a number f others in the great
r arm.

McCormack Shows Irish -.
To look at McCormack Von ran
tell he is Irish. That means he is
Irish all over, heart, body and souL
He's got the warmest heart, the most
pleasant smile, and that Irish air of
independence. I stood back-stage
after the concert was over ajd
watched the curiosity seekers crowd
about him. He resembled a ?nv
god looking down uoon these favor-
seeking individuals, some who were
anxious to shako his hand, others
begging for a photograph, and others
there just to see him smile. Old
women edged their way into his pres
ence and did a great deal of talking,
and a man with streaks of gray in
his hair reminded McCormack that
they were classmates together at
Summerhill College in Sligo, Ireland
years ago.
I watched the face of McCormack.
It is an interesting face. It is a
face full of feeling and sensitive
quiesence. He does not show his
forty-three years and seems to be in
the best of health. He is the kind
of an artist whose fame has not gone
to his head. He is humble, vet he
does not condescend. His face is
plump and rosy as a girl's, and his
hands denote the srtist. While look
ing at them I thought of what a fine
pianist he would have made, but as
he puts it, God gave him his voice,
and he is grateful for it . And he
handles his voice as he would handle
the most delicate of instruments.
Imagine having to talk only in a
whisper in order to preserve it and
not tiro it out!
Tenor Is Sensitive
Imagine carrying a priceless music-box
around with one and having
to be careful least one lose it If
McCormack lost his voice it would
mean a great deal not only to Mc
Cormack but to the music lovers who
delight in hearing him. McCormack
has made a lot of money with his
voice, but he wouldn't feel the loss
of future income. He is well pro-

vided for in his old age, losing the
voice itself would be tragic for him.
Like all artists McCormack is of a
sensitive temperament I noted the
tired look on the artist' face after
the concert was over and people
were crowding about him. People,
people, people! Alwavs tteonle! The
expression on his face seemed to tell
me that they were the bano of his
life. His manacer informed m that
people always ask McCormack silly
questions. They bore him to death.
Lincoln Appreciative
The Lincoln audience was ar,nre-
ciative of his oroffram. His render
ing of "Bird Songs at Eventide" was j
Deautiiul, and he came back for
many encores. "To the Children"
was sung with a tenderness un
equaled in any of his other numbers.
He was evidently thinkine of his own
children, Gwen, a daughter, eigh
teen, and John, nineteen, who is at
tending Cambridge. "A
Story by the Fire," was beautiful
also. And who could sing "Kath
leen Mavourneen" but John McCor
mack! He sang it with all his heart.
and when he finished I knew he had
his audience in the hollow of his
hand. Tears were mute evidence of
the effect the song had produced
upon them. And the applause was
great "Just For Today" was a
prayer-song. There were other
songs, beautiful, and suitable to the
inflections of the great singer's
voice, and he gave them all with a
pleasantness of manner and an equal
grSciousness.
When the crowd dispersed and I
stood alone with the great man and
his manager, I could not help but
look up into bis face and remain
silent I did not question him again
but looked at him as though I were
looking at a picture. When asked
why I remained silent I answered.
is it not enough to be in the light?"
And when we parted, he said. "God
bless you."
Y.M.C.A. Reading Room Proves To
Be Popular Meeting Place for Students
"The Y. M. C A. reading room is
quite a busy place," remarked a stu
dent the other day as he stood on
the corner in front of the Y. M. C
A. He was holding conversation with
a senior who' had experienced three
years around the campus and the
"Y". As both were interested in the
reading room, they walked up the
steps into the Y. M. C. A. club room
with the intentions of finding out for
themseivesf and to ascertain for
themselves tbe growth of the read
ing room.
The first person the two boys met
on their tour was none other than
C. D. Hayes, university "Y" secre
tary. After a round of handshaking
and welcomes, the boys stated their
mission. "We would like to know
something more about the reading

of the pair. Mr. Hayes, always
agreeable, settled himself back in his
chair (one with springs in it), and
related a few facts concerning the
reading room.
Reading Room Is Combination
"The reading room is in reality
a study table and a place for en
tertainment combined. The boys of
ten play checkers and chess, al
though, generally only after their
examinations are over. We keep sev
eral magazines and periodicals, and
I am sure that the boys appreciate
these as they certainly are read. On
the tables the visitor may find the
Atlantic Monthly, Time, Harper's,
Survey Graphic, IntercoUegian, Ne

Christian Century, Saturday Even

and Association Man. Some boys are
