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 JOSEPH SHLISKY, TENOR, TO GIVE CONCERT HERE CLAIRMONT CLUB The Board of Trustees of the De- troit Conservatory of Music are an- nouncing Elly Ney, the world's great- The regular meeting of the Clair- est pianiste, for a concert Tuesday mont Club was held Sunday after- evening, Jan. at Orchestra Hall. noon.

The 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- dic devices of two ancient French families, the first and fourth quar- terings showing the arms of the de la Mothe, the second and third of a family of the landed gentry allied in LEGIONAIRES COMPLETE marriage.
