Of Group Dec. 12
Gabriel Soloduhin is the in
trepid Cossack, whose hair-rais
ing dagger dance is one of the
most exciting interludes in the
program of the Platoff DOn Cos
sack singers and dancers to^ be

In the current program of the
Cossacks, Soloduhin is featured

sad lilt of a peasant song and
oncludes in a wild dance of jubi
lation. Also, he performs the tra

the entire chorus providing the
vocal background.
The Chorus presents a varied,

Pittsburgh.
With the morning an ideal one
for hunting, barring the dryness
'that still persists, hounds ran, ex-
' ceedingly well, a line that was in
teresting and fast enough to
please the thrusters, with plenty
of checks to give everybody a
breather.
Following the morning’s run a
hunt breakfast was given at the

on Massachusetts Avenue.
The schedule for the coming
season calls for three days a
week: fox hunts on Tuesdays and

Come In and Order One ...Today!
is a wonderful day for stepping up
to Cadillac. r-f- b
t
When the magic moment arrives in a man’s life
when he feels entitled to the “car of cars,” he should
make the move without hesitation—regardless of
year, or season, or any other consideration.
But we do feel, in all honesty, that the motorist
who hnds himself in that happy circumstance this
rail IS particularly fortunate.
For Cadillac has never offered so many wonderful
things, in such abundant measure, as it does today.
It is supremely beptiful—with grace and dignity
and rnajesty that set it instantly apart from the rest
of the world s motor cars, ^
Its performance is simply breath-taking—even
when measured against Cadillac’s own extraordinary
standards. And the car is luxurious and distinctive and
pride-inspiring far beyond its iUustrious predecessors.
. In addition to all this, the current Cadillac creation
IS unbelievably practical to own and economical to
operate. The lowest-priced Cadillac, for instance, now
costs less than twenty-two different models of other
makes of motor cars manufactured in America.
And you can ride out a normal, full day’s journey
on a single tankful of gasoline.
As if this were not sufficient to set it apart, a
Cadillac car according to an authoritative study of
used car prices—may be expected to return a greater
f^rcentage of its owner’s original investment at the
time of resale than any other motor car in the land!
So—if you are considering a Cadillac for yourself
and your family—come in and order one today I
right thing to do—and it’s the right time to
