10 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1919. immu i; TOUGH WITH HIS OKI FRIENDS Great Singer Again Receives Ovation from Local Admir ers; Rewards Them With His Best Efforts. , ' BY HENRIETTA M. REES. John McCormack was here last evening, John McCormack, famous lenor singer, the idol of his audience, and the box office delight, who num bers his hearers only by the limita tions of seating space, John McCor mack, the ballad singer par excel lence, who wins smiles or sadness from his audience at will, ; The auditorium last evening pre sented' gay and festive appearance With its customary seating capacity taxed to the utmost, and with sev eral hundred seats placed upon the stage, approximately 7,000 people from Omaha and vicinity must have been present to revel in the vocal de- lignts oi tnia uciovca singci. Mr. McCormack possesses a voice of exceptional beauty. He has train ing, musiciansaip and personality to go with it, and an art which is broad enough for the small selection and the larger one as well. Some McCormack Attributes. Through his former appearances people know what to expect from Mr. McCormack. His enunciation is remarkable, every word coming clearly and distinctly, no matter in what part of the voice it may hap pen to be. The ease with which he sings, his marvelous breath control, the beauty of his legato, and the charm of the very way he does it all com bine to present the interpreted song forcibly to the listeners, and be cause they can . understand the words, and he gives them all the music of it, they respond accord ingly. It is more than inspiring to hear the waves upon waves of ap plause from such a mammoth au dience. From Omaha with its repu lation for coldness, both Mr. Mc Cormack and Mr. McBeath, the violinist, received an ovatipn. Ap plause was general and spontaneous and the rule of three prevailed in ;ncores. Audience Could Not Get Enough. Mr. McCormack opened his pro Rram with an aria "To -Alceste'', from the opera "Alceste," by Han del. Mr. McCormack sings Handel with a clarity and beauty of phras ing which brings this old style music with its many ornaments and expected climaxes to the audience with all its quaint charm, and which proves his artistic status unques tionably. His second group opened with a rather unusual Frank song, the "La Procession," followed by three love" songs, "No Whom .1 Love," by Tschaikowsky, and "Love's Secret," by Bantock, being exceptionally interesting. At the close, Mr. McCormack was re called again and again, responding with three additional songs, includ ing some of his best known favorites. The group of Irish folk songs was carefully chosen and each number presented a contrast of sentiment and of musical setting. "The Light O' the Moon," arranged by Hughes, "The Ploughman's -Whistle" and "Una Baun," by Hardebeck, were among these and each was inter preted in the inimical McCormack manner. Again three additional songs were given, m response to the clamorous demand. Some splen did songs Avere found in the last group.' "Thine Eyes Still Shined," by Edwin Schneider, Mr. McCor mack's accompanist, winning favor for both Mr. Schneiderand Mr. McCormack. "She Rested by the Broken Brook," Coleridge Taylor, was exquisitely interpreted, and the "Last Hour," by Walter Kramer, a dramatic1 modern 1 song, made a powerful impression. "I Shall Meet Yon," (homecoming song), by Wil fred Sanderson, proved an ably written song of the higher type of war song. One Tremendous Climax. As a closing encore. Fay Foster's "The American's Come" was .sung hy Mr. McCormack, the first time this song hat been sung publicly in Omaha. It is of intense dramatic ?f ntiment, and describes the coming of the Americans to France as a little boy - answers the questions asked by a blind parent, about the men .marching by and about their f;g. It works up a tremendous climax, and its overwhelming appeal to the present day motions being most effectively brought forth. Mr. McBeath appeared in his uni form of flight lieutenant in the Can adian army, and was warmly greet ed, boih because of his patriotism and because many of us remembered what excellent violin playing he has Riven in the past. He contributed two groups to the program, the first a Spanish Dance, Grandos Kreisler, and a "Spanish Serenade" by Chaminade. "Romance," by Wilhelmj was presented with a lifauty of tone and a repose which doubly endeared it fo the listeners, and after the brilliant "Wieniawskr Mazurka," Mr. McBeath in his turn was recalled for three successive encores. Mr. Schneider retained his v arm place in favor by his well bal anced accompaniments, and every one went home happy. Attorneys for Mrs. Funk File an Appeal Bond Attorneys for Louise Metz Funk ! sve filed an appeal bond in district court for rehearing of an applica tion for dismissal of the guardian ship of the plaintiff. Last Wednes day County Judge Crawford ruled that Mrs. Funk's guardians should he released. Her attorneys intend to try the case in the district court, expecting 1 that upon a complete showing the court will find that Mrs. Funk is capable of attending to Her own financial affairs.

ALLIANCE CLUB WERE GUESTS OF CITY M FRIDAY Upstate. Men Met Here With Many Boys of Their Home Town Who" Served With T27th in France. Headed by C. 1. HilT) 50 members of the Alliance Nebiaska Commun ity club spent the day in Omaha yesterday as guests of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce . and Chief Salter'of the Omaha fire department The delegation, accompanied by the Alliance band, was in Lincoln on January 21, then attended the State Firemen's convention at Fremont, winding up the pilgrimage with the visit to Omaha. They were entertained . at the Chamber of Commerce at luncheon, and Chief Salter spent the afternoon showing them Omaha's fire fighting equipment. ( Meet Home Boys. Another incident of the trip was their meeting here with Alliance boys from the 127th field artillery, just returned from France. These boys, 150 strong, left Alliance nearly two years ago with the Fourth Ne braska, under Captain J. B. Miller. Practically .every private of the orig inar company was promoted when they were finally distributed throughout the reorganized armv in France. They took horn? with them last night 17 sergeants and 11 cor porals, Alliance boys with the 127th. The members of. the delegation say the winter wheat prospects in Box Butte county, were never bet ter, but the spokesman of the party cast a shy glance at the big strap ping soldiers Alliance produced for Uncle Sam's army and said: "Our motto still holds gdod. That is, that we have two crops, that never fail babies and potatoes. And it seems since our boys did so well in France that one crop is just as good as tne outer. Box Butte Potatoes. ' In speaking of the potato situa tion, Lloyd Thomas of Alliance, who addressed a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce, said that while po tatoes were selling here for from $1.20 to $1.25 per bushel, the best price the farmers of Box Butte and Sheridan counties could get was from 35c to 40c per bushel. When asked as to the quality of the po tatoes, Mr. Thomas claimed that tne potatoes raised near there were raised on dry land and would keep better than those from irrigated land. 1 J. J. Cameron of the Omaha Re tail Grocers' association, said that they tried tcubuy Box Butte county potatoes last fall but that the farm ers were holding them for $1 per bushel.

OF ROACH CASE.: IS DEKIG MADE Father Sinna Refuses Clean Bill to Police Department and Intimates' Impor- tant Revelations. Rev. Father Sinne,- pastor of St. Mary Magdelene church, has de clined to give the city police, de partment a "clean bill of health." This developed in a statement from Assistant Cnief of Police Dempsey, read in city council yesterday Mr. Dempsey reported that Father Sinne declined to make any denial that he had made certain statements regarding the police department at the time Rev. Jeremiah Roach of Peoria, 111., was arrested and held in a cell at central, police station from 7:30 a. m. to 8 p. m. on January 7. Conditions Terrible. . Father Sinne was called to the station at that time and, after Father Roach had been found to be very ill and was removed to St. Joseph's hospital, Father Sinne said, according to newspaper reports: "Such conditions are terrible to happen in this city. The police sys tem of treating, prisoners is rotten, to say the least. There should be an investigation. At the subsequent investigation in city council, Mayor Smith said: ! "I don't hilieve Father Sinne made any such statements regarding the notice department and I want Mr. Dempsey to call on Father Sinne and get a statement from him. More to Come. Father Sinne not .only declined to recall his alleged words but tated to a reporter that there may be a good deal more tocome very soon. "At present I want to say nothing. I have promised to1 say nothing at present," he said. . "But the matter is being investi gated?" ; "Ah, investigated, indeed, yes, he exclaimed. "We will go to the very bottom of thfs matter. It was most unfortunate. We are ' getting evi dence together. . The men on the Pullman car from Denver to Omaha will show that Father. Roach was very ill and not intoxicated. He i? still at St. Joseph's hospital, so sick that he didn't even know his -own sister. He has Bright's disease.
