Two solendid musical attractions
to he given in Hill auditorium, Ann
Arbor, during the mouth of January,
are on the calendar at the "University
School of Music, each of* -which "Will
h.ing to the university city ar.ists of
world 'wide recognition.
On January 15 RiSCardo Stracciari,
the distinguished Italian baritone,
whose ( nerat'c triumpns nnvecrea'c-c*
a furore jn Europe-, South Auv.i* ca
and the United States, will aprear
for the first time. He was announced
as the stellar attraction at the 1918
May festival, hut on account of an
acute attack of aspecd'cUis wa*.
.obliged to cancel his engagJigpnt at
the last moment. Since that time the
management has been .tireless in
their efforts to bring about an Ann
Arbor appearance,, but on account of
the great demand for liis services and
the .fact that he is booked up far in
advance, it was not possible until this
time. He is a remai-kable artist in
many ways. Brought up in an
atm'osphe.e of art and luxuiy
he had every opportunity for deve'o;-
ment and his tremendous success is a
sufficient, refutation of the oft repea-
ed \statement that only hardships
breed success. After graduating ss
an electrical eng'neer and having
made a considerable success, in h's
work, he decided to turn to music.
At the Bologna con*;erva*ory he re-
celied broa-d training in theory, composition, etc>, as well as__ln voice instruction. He made his debut in opera and was instant'y succsssfuL and
from that time on was accredited one
cf the world's greatest haritonss*. In
addition to taking leading roles in
the great operas he has created many new roles in new opsras. In song
recitals he is equally successful and
his Ann Arhor debut a program containing many beautiful French and
Italian songs from the old fasters'as
well as arias from tne great operas.
He will be assisted at the piano by
Issac VanGrove, the distingjished
accompanist who asp'ared in Ann j
Arbor with Caruso last year.
The second big concert du'ing the
month will take place Janua-y 23
when Mischa Levitzki, the young
Russian virtuoso, who has won a
place among the great pianists of
the day similar to that which Heifetz
holds among the violinis:s, will appear in a brilliant program. He was
born in Russia while his parent's,
whose home was in New York, wfere
oa a visit to their native country,
and thus while of Russian blood, he
Is strictly American in ideals. Wh:le
still .a young lad his1 great musical
talents were discovered "and he was
_iven advantages which tfew York
.ifforded for their development.
Later,.he continued h\S studies in
Barope .and when the grsat war
broke out had just comple'ed,_ a
triumphant tour of the great capi-
tols. Upon returning to the United
States he made hisTNew York debut
and since that time has won ovations
in practically all of the great music
centers of the country.
TflEt HATE "NO OCCUPATION."
She rises up at the break of day
And thru her tasks she races;
She Cooks the meal as best she may
AM scrubs the children's faces.
While schoolbooks and lunches, tco,
All need consideration.
And yet the census man insists
She has "no occupation."
*v
When breakfast d'shes are done,
Sihe bakes a pudding, maybe;
She cleans tie rooms up one by one
With one eye watching baby.
The mending pile she then attack**,
By w*ay of variation.
And yet the census man insists
She has "no occupation." __
She irons for a little while,
Then presses pant,' for daddy;
She welcomes with a cheery sm le
"   Returning lass and laddie.
A hearty dinner next she cooks,
(No time for re'axation.)
And yet the census man ins", ts
She has "no occupation,"
Por lessons that the children laarn
The evening scarce is ample,
To "mother dear" they always turn
To -help with easch example.      \
In grammar and geog. apJIy
She?finds her relaxation.
And yet the census man insists
She has "no occupation."

Jack PickiJord will he seen at the
Liberty Theatre, commencing W d
nesday, January 14', takes one into
the midst ot£ one of the most curious
peoples of the United States, tbe
Blue Ridge mountineers. Laid
SDmewhsre among the many r.n es
ar. this .great g.oup which strateh as
far north as New York state, as far
south as Alabama, and .as far w;s"
as Kentucky, the picture give- nn intimate idea of how .the Blue Hid: e
1,-lks   live.   ,
B;ddy Appe's >n, who is ror:ayed
by Mr. Pickford, is typical of these
people who .are said ta he the pur:st
descendants of Engli h, Sco ch a*id
Scotch-Irii'h stook to be found any-
whe -e in the Uuited States, .due to
the fact that they have not ming'el

Immigrant-.
In his devotion to the memory of
his dead mother, his regard for his
fa'her, and his love ior Martha
Yarntcn, Buddy Apperson from th3
traits which win sympathy f-om the
'tart. Angsred over the aopenance
in his father's home of -j. step-mother, Buddy leaves. But "before gfing
out into parts unknown he cannot
withstand the temptation to ense
jnare see Martha Yarnton, his sweetheart.
As he is .looking at her home in
the darkness he sees a figure creeping toward it. Then the s'ink ng
shadow enters a window. Gun in
hand Buddy follows. The other m n
heaf.3 him and escapes. Buddy is
found by Martha and a moment later by her father. Yarnton susp?cts
Buddy stole into the house to sec
Martha and orders his arrest.
Martha defies 'her 'father to tell
the truth on the witness stand and
Buddy is freed. But the troubles are
not over fen* the n:-ighbcrhcod temporarily ostracized Baddy and K's
father, and Martha says she- thinks
it is better that they qot S:e eoph
other again. So Buddy leaves and
only returns when he thinks his father is in need. Then comes a
unique and surprising climax when
Buddy finds the hated Yarntons in
possession of his old home.
"EVERYBODY'S HAPPY NOW"
*^The manager*of the'..opera house,
Mr. Warren, has arranged w.ith the
Henjennie 'Producing Company" t)

Npw," one of New York's latest musi-
ffal comedy successes. There are
twenty-five peonle in the cast including Miss Smiling ^Jbby Jones,
formerly of "When Dreams Come
T.rue" and "The Bird of Paradise."
The costumes worn by( Miss Jor.es
were espsdally designed for her ty
some of the leading-ecstumeis of the
.country. Mr. Bud Reev.s, the blackface comedian with "Everybody's Tlan-
py Now,"' is considered one of the
best on the American stage, and Mr.
Weston, playing the -part of the
French /count in the first act, is ^ ery
g:od support for Mr. Reive'. Mi s
Olga Dumas, the dainty toe dancer
with the organization, -was import d
from Frarce for "Everyb;dy's Happy
Now," .and her pleasing smile and the
way she dances is sure to please the
most fa tidious audience. There is
