TIBBETT OFFEBS 10 ENCORES AT MORAT CONCERT Opera Star Given Ovation by Enthusiastic Audience. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Os twenty-one numbers which were sung yesterday afternoon at the Murat by Lawrence Tibbett, Metropolitan opera baritone, ten were encores. It is seldom that a singer raises his audience to such enthusiasm that encores nearly equal programmed numbers. Long after the program was over and three generous encores were given. the audience remained, pleading for more, and the fourth one was added to the final group. Mr. Tibbett is an artist in arranging a program. He mixes songs of light nature with those of serious purpose. Touch of Comedy One of his royal comedy numbers was "The American Lullaby,” by Gladys Rich, in which the lyrics tell the story of a modern father slaving away at his Wall Street office to keep the world away from his baby. The baby’s mother is pictured attending a bridge game so she may bring the prize to her baby, while a nurse girl turns on the radio so he may hear a singer longing to have a baby. Here is gorgeous nonsense, and done in tantalizing style by Mr. Tibbett. It is just as easy for this singer to be serious as funny. Emperor Jones Scene With great care, he built up his introduction to a dramatic scene of woe and prayer of Brutus Jones in the opera, “Emperor Jones.” This great and impressive dramatic singing clearly showed the marvelous acting as well as singing ability of Mr. Tibbett. The tremendous ovation resulted in the singing of the prologue from “Pagliacci,” which equaled the vocal beauty and power of ‘‘Emperor Jones.” Whistles One Chorus Mr. Tibbett surprised everybody while singing "The Hand-Organ Man” by whistling one of the choruses, something I never remember being done on a concert stage by a grand opera star. With "Emperor Jones,” my two other favorites were "Eleanore” and “Shortin' Bread.” Mr. Tibbett is a splendid showman and he is a great singer. Pianist Excellent Stewart Wille was at the piano for Mr. Tibbett, and also played two solo groups. He is a splendid pianist, both as a soloist and as an accompanist. Mr Tibbett appeared before a near capacity audience under the auspices of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters. This concert'will be discussed and loved for months to come.

Singers Present Bach George Frederick Holler has every reason to be proud of his ministry of music at the First Presbyterian church. His three directed choirs and seven • soloists with Gertrude Free at the pipe organ last night presented “The Passion of Our Lord According to St. Matthew.” music by Johann Sebastian Bach. The Motet choir was in the regular choir section back of Dr. George Arthur Franz, who read the scripture narrative of the life of Jesus as he was betrayed and put to death. All W ear Vestments The young people’s choir and the chapel choir occupied places in the center of the auditorium. All the members of the choirs and the soloists wore vestments and made a tremendously effective and impressive picture. The various sections of the motet choir were splendidly developed and marvelous support was given the soloists. Even the congregation had its part in singing as the “Passion” was presented. That is the thing, causing every one in the church to have an active part in the music, that Mr. Holler has perfected since coming to Indianapolis.

Butler, retired marine commander, told members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Athenaeum last night. “You soldiers can postpone war if you put through some legislation to jonscript capital along with men,” he advised. “But we eventually will join some war on the side of the folks who owe us the most money.” Urging immediate payment of the bonus and restoration of all pensions, the fiery ex-marine assailed the National Economy League as “the lousiest society ever known to man.” “No person has any right to make any decisions regarding veterans save one who has served in the front-line trenches.” General Butler shouted. “Wall Street now quotes the prices of human arms and legs in the stock market like hogs.”

This label (illustrated above ) stands for anew age in the Clothing Industry, and every man who buys clothes should insist on finding it attached to the garment he purchases. It insures a square deal to the consumer, *the worker and the employer. The privilege of using this label is granted to manufacturers by the Code Authority, providing they comply with the standards of operation prescribed by the Men’s Clothing Code. It insures the buyer against child labor, sweat shops and unsanitary manufacturing methods. In order to be supplied with these labels it is necessary that every clothing manufacturer operating under the Men’s Clothing Code Authority submit monthly payroll data showing sex, occupation, hours worked, and the rates of wages paid to each individual; also total number employed. The Clothing Industry is making great headway under its Code. The hourly wage paid its employees tops almost every other industry in the United States.

It’s up to every man to do his part and demand this label.

KAHN ’TAILORING'CQ OF’ INDIANAPOLIS

Representative Alfred L. Bulwinkle Dem.. N. C.) was expected to present a resolution in the house today asking appointment of a committee to investigate the assertions of Dr. William Wirt, superintendent of Gary schools, which were revealed at a committee hearing by James H. Rand Jr. of the committee for the nation. Congressional interest was stirred by the statement which Dr. Wirt said in a letter to Mr. Rand was made by an unidentified member of the “brain trust.” If the committee is appointed ft was expected Dr. Wirt would be called to testify as to the source of his statement. The educator charged, that Communists were “boring from within" the administration with the intent of hindering economic recovery to such an extent that the public would accede read iy to a Communist government. The congressional desire for an investigation was whetted by the irritation of many members against the “brain trust” which they feel has shown them a marked lack of respect. Indications were that the agriculture department and especially the AAA would draw the heaviest fire of any inquisition. Agricultural policies and statements especially those of Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Rexford Tugwell have been under attack for some time on charges of "regimentation” and collectivism. Wilbur Morrison Suecumbs While visiting Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gronauer, 1310 North Tuxedo street, Wilbur Morrison, 57, fell unconscious last night. A physician who was called by Mr. and Mrs. Gronauer was unable to revive him, and he died without regaining consciousness. Dr. John E. Wyttenbach, deputy coroner, investigated.
