Sunday Afternoon "Pop" Con-

and Muriel Magerl Kyle,
Soloists.
A typical "pop" concert program
with nothing to tax the minds of those
who heard it made up the twelfth con-
cert of the Sunday afternoon series
by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
There were two soloists for this oc-
casion, Margarethe Somme, pianist,
and Muriel Magerl Kyle, soprano. Un-
fortunately Miss Kyle had such a bad
cold that it was impossible for her to
finish, and she was obliged to leave
the stage amidst a storm of applause.
Although she was singing under great
difficulty, and it was an effort for
her to produce any tones at all, it
was easily seen that she has a voice
of unusual beauty. She deserves a
great deal of credit for trying to avoid
disappointing her audience by not ap-
pearing, and there is no doubt, judg-
ing from the attitude of the audience
when she finally had to stop but what

of having murdered a Christian child
in order to use the blood for the mak- •

case stirred international public'
opinion and the sentiment was con.

Mr. Beiliss was defended by Paul

armorial bearing was designed four
centuries before Columbus discovered
America. The coronet is emblematic
of the six ancient courts of France
from the old courts of Toullouse and
the seven pearls represent the noble-
man's descent from these royal
courts.
In the shield are shown the heral-
