THE LEOLA LUCEY CONCERT
Miss Leola Lucey well known
soprano, and one of Broadway's
most popular light opera stars,
will be beard in an unique con
cert at the auditorium of t h e
Appalachian Training School on
September I7th. Assisting Miss
Lucey-on this occasion Will be
Adrien Frieche, violinist, pupil
of the great master, Leopold Au
er, and Raymond .Barry, the
brilliant young pianist.'
While still very young, Miss
Luces' showed an exceptional tal
ent for shiging, which she put to
use at her first opportunity. Her
musical career 'Vogan in New
York, Jwhere tehe was first eu
gaed as a chorus girl. This was
followed by several seasons of
hard work in some of the big
gest Jmuslcat successes on the
roid.durij -.which time she
worked .jnd.Madied and denied
herell all 'the . pleasures which
are sappo?ie.4.tpi be a part of the
life of a chorus girl.
During her first season on the
road, Miss Lucey 's' ability was
quickly recognized, and she was
made understudy to Annabelle
Whitford in prominent musical
show. This was her opportunity
to get the training she so, much
desired, and when she returned
to New York she found herself
a full fledged star.
In the coming recital, -Miss
Loucey will sing in comparison
with her voice as RE-CREATED
by the New Edison, to enable
those in the audience to judge
whether the living voice can be
nude to live forever. A suparb
p-ogram has been arranged a
projram that will reveal all the
fascinating qualities of the glori
ou&.young soprano. At times her
living voice will be heard alone;
at times she will sing in unison
with the RE CREATED voice; at
other times she will sing duets
with herself. The audience will
I try to pick thetwogolden threads
of tone apart to say which one
lives for a moment and which one
has been made immortal. Can it
be done? Cards of admittance can
be secured from Greene & Bing
ham if you wish, .tos hear this
question auswered;i-Adv.
Filling thi Silo, -
Now that the timehas come for
filling the silo, there are certain
precautions that need to be ta
ken. In erecting the blow-pipe
see that all ladders and scafold
ing are made secure before any
one goes aloft. Re sure there are
no sticks, stones or pieces of
iron in the buudles of corn, for
these wiU surely wreck the ma
chine and may injure some of the
workmen.
Those who feed the machine
must be sure to keep the hands a
gooe way from the knives. Many
a man has lost his hand in an en
silage cutter. Carbon dioxide gas
often forms in partly tilled silos,
and if deep enough will smother
any one going into the silo. To j
prevent this have the doors out
below a man's head and do net
go or send any one into the silo
until after the blower is started.
Keep the children out of thts silo
at filling time. The proper time
to put corn into the silo is just
when the kernels begin to dent.
At this stage it has its greatest
weight and feeding value. No
water will be needed if the corn
is put in at this stage. In fact no
water will be needed at any time
if half .the blodes are green. An
excess of water causes the si
lage to develop too much acid
and is a detriment. Assistance in
building, and suggestions rela
tive to filling pladly given free j)f
charge.
