Public Still Likes Good Music
Pictures lush with melody—captivating tunes and a merry story throughout—in short, the operetta, are capturing America's fancy, in comparison to the old standby, the opera.
Proof that the public likes the tuneful, colorful show, good music and prefers the lighter operetta to the rendition of "Faust," "Ill Travatore" and other standard productions of the music field, lies in the demands made upon the St. Louis Municipal opera, now in its 21st successful season.
The patrons in St. Louis have repeatedly requested "Rose Marie," "The Lost Waltz," "The Firefly," "Song of the Flame," and other highly tuneful, yet not so classic productions as the opera usually offers.
The movies have brought about an immense appreciation and demand for good music and good acting. This demand is making itself felt now on the concert stage and in the theater. It is evidence that the taste of the general public, while as a whole not to the point where all appreciate grand opera, is nevertheless much higher than a generation ago. More good music is being played and sung, to greater appreciative audiences than ever before.
A National Park In Kansas?
The money used to build a battleship which would be out-of-date in a short time would create in the Kansas Flint hills one of the most unusual of all National parks, according to a belief recently expressed by J. C. Mobler, secretary of the state board of agriculture.
Such a national park would be a tourist mecca, he believes, and he has gone to considerable effort to prove his contention. A native Kansam. Mohler has always held a high enthusiasm for the possibilities of Kansas as a recreational playground.
"Nature gave landscapes to Kansas that are incomparable," he insists, but to properly view the famous Bluestem, or Flint hills, one must leave the highway and get far back in the vast expanse of hills.
Now practically inaccessible to the public, a national park in this area, he believes, would soon become a mecca for tourists, competing in popularity with Yellowstone and Yosemite.
Good Old America
Good Old America!
The other day an Englishman, writing in the Christian Science Monitor said "My broad composite impression of America is that there is probably no other country where a reasonable person, given a choice in the present year 1939, would prefer to be born."
Nice going, Mr. Englishman. Students of the Summer session will echo that statement. The front pages of the newspapers scream about gangsters, corruption and fraud, dictatorship by Roosevelt, and a dozen other matters which keep America from being perfect, but just the same, America at its worst, is better than most lands at their best.
Blessed with oceans on each side of her, there is little danger of devastation and dangers of a modern war. America's social and economic problems, grave as they may be, are certainly not as serious as the war
Kansan's Who's Who

Let us not forget the many substantial advantages which America has when we listen to the arguments of those who would seek a change.
