Muskrats May Appear On Tables This Year If Trappers Remain
Chicago, (INS) — If the southern trappers only will stay on the job, there should be 20,000,000 pounds of muskrat meat for American tables next winter, Henry Broch, Chicago dealer in frozen foods, declared yesterday.
Broch said that two weeks ago he had orders for a million pounds of the meat in Chicago alone, but couldn't deliver.
"The trappers let me down," he said. "Before the next season opens next November, we must educate them to the possibilities of the industry, now that we may encounter shortages in ordinary meats."
Hollywood, (INS)—Slapsy Maxie Rosenbloom — actor, exprizefighter and nightclub impresario — almost went home from court in a barrel last week.
He advocated that the government encourage the trappers to remain in the business, instead of quitting for war jobs as they did this year. The muskrat, known there as "marsh hare," abounds in the Louisiana marshes.
Slapsie Maxie Home In Barrel-Almost
Recent victim of a burglar—two of his 20 tailor-made suits were pilfered—Rosenbloom hied to court to testify against the theft suspect, Daniel Gonzales, 24, bartender.
The district attorney told Rosenbloom to bring one of the suits, which police had recovered, to court as evidence. Maxie did. He wore it. "Would you leave the suit in court as an exhibit?" asked the attorney. Rosenbloom offered to "take it off."
"Bring it in to tomorrow," said the judge.
Rich Concert Given By A Cappella Choir
BY JEANNE SHOEMAKER
A rich, full-voiced choir last night did not disappoint an audience which had braved an icy March blast to hear them sing at Hoch auditorium. Famous for its well-blended and balanced voices, Dean Swarthout's a cappella choir did an excellent job, despite the fact that a few of its male members had left for the army, and the concert was given $ ^{ \dagger} $
"Where're I Roam or Linger" (Gretchaninoff), a gay, fast folk song well-enunciated by the choir, was probably the best liked of the group of Russian numbers. The choir got a chance to show its volume and ability to crescendo in thg great "alleluias" of the three other pieces in this group. "Cherubin Song" (Glinka), "O Praise Ye the Name of the Lord" (Nikolsky), and "Be Joyful, All Ye Lands" (Gretchaninoff).
The group of 16th and 17th century numbers was highlighted by Helen Colburn's soprano obligate, while the choir hummed "Forsake Me Not" (Rosenmueller), a religious number of great beauty. Well-liked by the audience was the lively 16th - century number, "Lovely Month of May" (Jannequin). Two other numbers in this group, which were reminiscent of the old Catholic church were, "Misericordias Domini" (Durante) and "Haec Dies Quam Fecit" (Palestrini).
Knowing that this was probably its last public appearance as a mixed voice choir, the group gave everything it had to this concert. Ranging from the powerful dramatic "Jesus and the Traders" (Kodaly) to the gentle, melodious "Music When Soft Voices Die" (C. Dickinson), the choir showed its ability to sing in any volume and still sound like one voice.
a month and a half before schedule.
Soprano Obligato
Sings "Ode To Music"
After intermission the choir sang Dr. W. Otto Miessner's choral tribute to the power and sway of music, "Ode To Music," "Dedication" (Franz-Cain), a soft number which developed power and ringing force as it grew, and the melodious "Song of the Aran Fisherfolk" (Hamblen).
This last piece, sung in perfect harmony by the choir, portrayed the rising and falling of waves by the swaying of voices.
In the last group the audience heard the choir use its strength in "Jesus and the Traders," based on the story of Jesus driving the money-changers from the temple, and then its ability to restrain itself in the beautiful, lyrical "Music When Soft Voices Die." After a Stephen Foster melody about a steamboat called "The Glendy Burke," the choir ended its concert with "Hymn to the Soul," a number of magnificent power and beauty.
Wayne King Named in Radio Suit
Chicago, (INS)—Franklyn MacCormack, radio poet, Capt. Wayne King, orchestra leader, and the R.C.A. Manufacturing company were named Friday in a suit for an accounting of receipts from the recording of a poem, "Because You Love Me."
The suit was filed in circuit court by Miss Elenor Yorke, 23-year-old poetess, who claims authorship of the poem and charges that Mac-Cormack sold it as his own.
Capt. King provided the musical background for the poem, and R.C.A. produced it, the bill charged.
