He gave orders for a 1.-iano to be moved on the stage. Then the great conductor seated himself at the piano and began playing Riley’s "Don’t Cry, Little Girl, Don't Cry." The singer' patted the great conductor on the back. Then the real soul of the singer was revealed. Sweet, oh so sweet, were the tones and the meaning of this poem song.

was only an added compliment to memories and to Mme. Cahler. I have often written of ovations In the past, but never have I longed to reflect In the print the magnitude and the glory of the home-coming of Sara Walker Cahler. European triumphs, New York ovations and the applause of the world has not caused this great American contralto to forget her home town. She put a ringing and tender soul in “Home, Sweet Home.” What a memory the hundreds of Indianapolis folk -who attended the concert will have to cherish and love. There were flowers. Loads and loads of them. It wasn’t the perfume of those flowors which caused Mme. Cahler to sing so sweetly and so tenderly. It was het*--love for her home town and the memories of the days when she went to school here. What a wonderful home-coining, Mme. Cahler. 1 know it will be your sweetest memory. And what an artist she is. There -was another triumph last night. It was Mr. Reiner and his orchestra. W. D. H.
