MISS CLAUDIA MUZIO
PLEASES.

A capacity audience greeted the
American concert debut of Miss
Claudia Muzio of the Metropolitan
Opera House at the Arcadia on Tues-
day evening. Miss Muzio was superb
in her operatic excerpts, but was
rather disappointing when she at-
tempted such popular airs as "The
End of a Perfect Day," "The Last
Rose of Summer," and "Coming Thro'
the Rye." The brilliant Italian artiste
triumphed, however, in the numbers
on the program more suitable to her
professional ability. She employed a
fine, flexible style of vocalism, and dis-
played skill in tone shading. The
singer's opulent, heroic soprano voice
and brilliant artistry in the use of it
was beautifully expressed in the "sui-
cide aria" from "La Gioconda," the
ballad from "Pagliaci," the waltz
song from "Romeo and Juliet," the
gavotte from "Manon," and "0 Ciele
Azzuri" from "Aida." Throughout
the program the young artiste dis-
played a most unusual interpretive in-
sight.
Her associate was Miss Mildred
Dilling, a skillful harpist of delicate
moods. She accompanied Miss Muzio
in the familiar .Bach-Gounod "Ave
Maria" and won cordial approval.

KREIZLER TO APPEAR OCT. 31.

The announcement of the appear,
ance of Fritz Kreisler, the renowned
violinist, at the Detroit Armory on
Wednesday evening, October 31, has
aroused intense interest on the part
of all music lovers. The great Hun-
iarian artist is exceedingly popular in
Detroit,• and it is expected that the
number of his admirers will tax the
capacity of the large auditorium.
Kreizler appears as one of the num-
bers of the Philharmonic Course, tin-
der the supervision of the Devoe-De-
troit management. Mail orders for
tickets are now being received at 933

Providence, R. I.—According to an
announcement made by Col. Harry Cut-
ler of Providence, all welfare work for
Jewish soldiers and sailors in the serv-
ice of the United States must be here-
after conducted through the Jewish
Board for Welfare Work in the United
States Army and Navy. The statement
was authorized by the war department.
The vfork of the board will be inter-
national in its scope, branches having
_been established in European countries.
It will be conducted on lines similar to
the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the
Knights of Columbus.
Col. Cutler returned last week from
Chicago, where he was in consultation
with Adolph Kraus, president of the
Independent Order B'nai B'rith, which
had started similar work among Jewish
sailors and soldiers. As a result of
the conference the work of the two
organizations was merged, the I. 0. 13.

What sacrifice have you made
for the cause of LIBERTY?

Fathers and mothers have given their sons—
wives have given their husbands--others have
given freely of their money. WHAT HAVE
YOU DONE?
Those who can't shoulder a gun must shoulder
the expense. It is "up to you" to buy a LIBERTY
BOND if you have to go hungry to do it. It will
help feed and clothe that neighbor's boy who has
gone to do your fighting for you.
