The soloist is a typical American. In no way does he conform to the ! conventional singer-pattern in either type or tradition. Fie does, j however, belong to that significant group of young artists who are ful filling Walt Whitman’s prophecy, "I hear America singing.” Wilbur Evans, born in Philadel ! phia, was musical as a child. As a j young boy Wilbur was a popular : entertainer. In athletics, particu ] larly soccer, basketball, and swim i ming, he takes a great interest now, just as he did when in the West Philadelphia High School. His ability to execute clever soft shoe dancing led to an offer to enter vaudeville in a song-and-dance act, which he refused. His dancing was a hobby as were other abilities —chess, for instance. As for mus ic, it was to be taken seriously or not at all. He studied singing. He made money to take those precious lessons in every way he could. He taught swimming to children; he acted as chauffeur; he clerked in stores. During the summer he was athletic instructor and coach in boys’ camps, an avocation at which he was so successful that for a time he considered making it his pro fession if a singing career failed. When he was nineteen he sang for Marcella Sembrich and Emilio de Gorgorza and was awarded one of the three scholarships given at that time at the Curtis Institute, where he studied with de Gorgorza. Coached by Richard Hageman, the | former Metropolitan conductor andi Mme. Dagmar Rybner Barclay, composer-pianist, his natural in terpretative abilities were increased. His most recent teacher has been Mrs. Clara Bowman of New York, with Sylvan Levin as coach. 1927 was a red-letter year. The ; Atwater Kent Foundation launch ed its first National Radio Audi tion Contest. From 50,000 con 1 testants the prize winner was to be , chosen; the judges were the radio i audiences of America. The re i ward was $5,000 in gold and a two I year scholarship to a conservatory. Wilbur Evans entered the contest j and woke up one morning to find that he, an unknown student at the Curtis Institute, was acclaimed in newspaper headlines as the first prize winner in this elaborate country-wide tournament of song. The judges’ verdict has been fully sustained by those who have heard this rising young man in concert, radio, operetta, and oratorio pres entations. Critics agree a great future lies ahead of Wilbur Evans, American baritone. SO, THEY WON’T TALK Oklahoma City—Police arrested Robert Johnson in a robbery in vestigation. But no sooner had they closed in to question him than they scat tered, leaving him to himself. The brief investigation disclosed he had the mumps. BARBARA’S HOME MADE CLUB New York—The former Barbara Hutton’s old home at 125 East 54th street will be opened to the public Friday night as a supper club. A double brownstone house originally built for two families, it was converted into a single dwell ing when the Woolworth hebess moved in about 10 years ago. She sold it last year. WILBUR EVANS Appearance Of Fireballs Is Investigated Dr. Braun Collects Data From Observers (From The Pioneer) Scientific investigation is being carried on by Dr. M. L. Braun, head of the physics department at Catawba College, as to the color, position, size, declination, right as cention, etc., of two fireballs ob served by several citizens of the Salisbury vicinity during the third week of January. The first me teor was observed at approximate ly 10:25 P. M. on Jan. 21 by sev eral parties from Salisbury. The heavenly caller was said to be first seen at about 35 degrees above the horizon and traveled with an unknown velocity to the horizon. The incandescent mass left a fiery trail behind as it continued its course. ine second tireball was seen Thursday, January 23, somewhere within the time limit ranging from 9:55 to 10:15 by L. P. Rufty and also by E. L. Hess of Salisbury. However, other observers in the tiear-by vicinity gave testimony as to the occurrence of such a scene. Its brightness was reported to be approximately one half that of the full moon, the intensity of its rays becoming more prominent as it traveled from the mid-eastern sky to a low position in the southeast where it exploded into a number of white molten pieces. Varied ac counts were given as to the size of the meteor before explosion. The diameter ranged anywhere from one half that of the moon to ten or fifteen feet. These interpretations were no doubt due to varying psy chological viewpoints. The vari ations are wide, but at the same time measurements are extremely hard to estimate at so great a dis tance from the eye. For instance, at a distance of two or three feet from the eye a silver quarter will blot out the sun corona from sight but one cannot say that the sun’s diameter is only that of the quar ter. It is probable that no two persons would give the same report as to the diameter of such a body. Arthur Menius, a devout phy sics student of Catawba, also took great interest in aiding Dr. Braun in the research. They together sought out individual witnesses pifber bv correspondence or bv calling upon them personally. At all times Dr. Braun and his assist ants will appreciate any informa tion concerning any unusual as pects observed in the sky at any time. Helen Arthur Wins Jack Pot Capitol Theatre (From The Pioneer) A Catawba student has come in to the money! Miss Flelen Arthur of Harrisburg, Pa., and a member of the sophomore class, recently won a jack pot of $85.00 at the Capitol Theatre. Excitement reigned in Zartman Hall, as well as in the boys’ dorm, as friends of Helen planned eighty-five old and new ways of spending the money. When asked how it felt to be the possessor of so great a fortune, the bright-eyed Miss Arthur replied in a speech at the Phi Epsilon ban quet: "It’s too grand and too sud den.” So someone pinched her to prove it was true. • Watchman Classified Ads are.
