"KATJA"—AN OPERETTA Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

A Review by L. P. C.

Beethoven, the master composer,
whose music stire always the depths
of mankind as no other composer's,
will la commemorated in a great and
reverent festival Sunday afternoon,
Starch 6, when the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra will blend all its gathered
talents in the Beethoven Centennial,
given at this season in tribute to the
one hundredth anniversary of the
composer's death.
Beethoven's supreme and last sym-
phony, the "Ninth," will be one of the
two numbers on the program. The
great Symphony Choir of 250 voices,
under the direction of Victor Kolar,
together with four distinguished solo-
ists, Lois Johnston, Helen Fitzgerald,
Royal Dadmun and Robert Quail, will
join the orchestra in the triumphant
conclusion to the symphony.
Beethoven's Tri in E flat major for
piano, violin and violoncello will be
the opening number.
The program is particularly fitted
for a commemoration of Beethoven,
representing, as it does, the youth
and maturity of the composer's
genius---the first and last of a life
which has enriched musical literature
with its most significant possessions.

Technically, it may be correct to
call "Katja" an operetta, as it is
named on the program. To the casual
observer, it seems to be more or less
of an elaborated musical comedy. To
those who enjoy tuneful music, who
enjoy the vision of colorful scenes
animatedly presented by a chorus
which is entirely satisfactory to the
eye, and who are agreeably pleased
with the standardized old-fashioned
plot that usually goes with musical
comedies, "Katja" is worth listening
to and when you leave the theater
you will whistle or sing one number
entitled "Leander."
Practically all of the leads in "Kat-
ja" are handled by stage folk who
have substantial followings among
Detroit theater goers. Naturally, the
greater measure of credit and praise
goes to Miss Madeline Collins and to
Mr. Ceeley, who play the leads. Both
of these people are particularly well
known and very favorably well known
to Detroit audiences for their con-
spicuous successes in "The Student
Prince." While it is customary to
hand most of the bouquets to these
two leaders, this reviewer wishes to Chicago Civic Opera Company.

Campaign Is On!

MORRIS FISHMAN
Vice•President

I n charge of the leading agency of
the Detroit Life Insurance Company.

F

OR MANY YEARS, the De-
troit Life Insurance Company
has made a practice of extending a
special honor to its Vice-President,
Mr. Morris Fishman, by designating
March as Fishman Month, in the
agency campaign. This year, par-
ticular interest is taken in the Fish-
man month program, for the Com-
pany has set a goal of $3,500,000
of new business as its objective.

We feel sure that the people of Detroit, as well as the
people of the entire State of Michigan, are interested
in our program, and we know . that if our ,aim suc-
ceeds, the greatest measure of service will not be to
our Company, nor to our agents, nor yet in the hon-
or given to Mr. Fishman, but to the people who are
sufficiently interested to become policyholders or to
add to their present coverage, with our Company, by
reason of our campaign. Their number will be legion,
we feel sure, and each and every one served will be
better off financially, morally and every other way,
by reason of a contract with our Company.

Chas. Evans Hughes Recently Said:

"I like to think of the spirit of life
insurance. It is the spirit of achieve-
ment."

We feel sure that Mr. Hughes had in mind, when making this statement,
all of those reputable legal reserve life insurance companies which have so
carefully adhered to the basic business and economic principles, as to bring
about the success and the understanding to which life insurance as a business
institution is entitled to in the world o f finance today.

The Detroit Life Insurance Company is a Michigan corporation, invest-
ing its funds in Michigan development and operating under the strict legal re-
serve laws and with the approval of the Insurance Department of the Com-
monwealth of Michigan. Its Annual Statement shows in excess of $63,000,000
of business in force, assets $6,000,000 and its program for continuing its serv-
ice to the people of this state is comprehensive and progressive.
