While she esteems any type of work well done, she says that the moving picture studios have little glamour for you after you have worked in them. Her present sojourn in her native land may not be long, since she believes that an artist must ever welcome the challenge of new and'larger work if she ston, and lived there until the outbreak war. The assisting artist, Adoliph Koldo{â€" sky was born in England of Russian parentage and earned wide recognition for his attainments in various fields of music, notably in solo performances in London. ‘But his activities soon spread to many other countries. In Belgium he became intimately associated with the im:nortal Eugene Lsaye who showâ€" ered him with marks of his esteem.

This fascinating artâ€" ist, who will sing in Timmins on Nov. 22nd, gave this opinion after experiencâ€" ing triumph, including several appearâ€" ances in the famous Hollywood Bowl. "One hears outrageous things of Hollywood." she said. But you would never think of judging ancother city by a very small proportion of its people. Mad parties and mad marriages are not typical of Hollywood as a whole. I know of no city with a larger proporâ€" tion of pleasant people who live happily, with decency and kindness. They not only belong to churches but attend them" she added. (Continued from Page One) Only members of the associantion or those with tickets of members will be eligible for admission.
