MISS HEMPEL'S VISIT TO OCALA

(M. M. M.) a

Through the untiring effort of Mr.E. C. Bennett, of the Temple theater,the music lovers of Ocala had the op-

portunity of being delighted with theglorious voice and charming personal-ity of Miss Frieda Hempel, the worfdfamous soprano.

Miss Hempel, accompanied by herhusband, Mr. William Kahn- - of NewYork city, Mr. Conrad V. Bos, pianist,and Mr. Louis P. Fritze, flutist, arriv-ed in Ocala from Gainesville on the3:30 frain Friday afternoon. he wasmet at the station by several i Ocalaladies who escorted her to her roomsat the Harrington Hall hotel.

Miss Hempel's. suite at the hotelhad previously been made a bower offlowers. Her reception room was ar-tistically decorated with, bignonia andupon entering her bedroom beautifulpink roses and purple flowered vinesmet the eye.

At 8:30 Friday evening every seatin the Temple theater was taken andthe audience awaited with eagernessthe"appearance of the - most notedartist who has appeared in Ocala inmany years, v Deafening applause metMiss Hempel as with Mr. Bos shecrossed the stage tojgreetk her aud-ience."' "yr-

During each number the audiencesat spellbound as a ."tribute to MissHempel's matchless art.:.-- Indeed, theproverbial pin could easily have beenheard to drop. At the close of eachsong, enthusiastic and long continuedapplauselfollowedand .Misjr. Hempelproved herself as generous as she isbeautiful and gifted by rendering sev-

eral encores. Each song on the pro-gram was, indeed, a precious gem ofart and it is difficult to mention onewithout mentioning all. However, theHerdsman's Song, generally known asthe Echo Song, will long stand out inthe memory of those who heard it.This song is of distinctly differentcharacter than any other sung byMiss Hempel during the evening. Sheaccompanied herself at the piano andduring the echoing did not use thepiano to guide her at all. As shebreathed the last note of the song, herhands struck a chord on the piano,thus showing how exquisitely true hervoice was even, in a most difficultpiece of music. The Virgin's Lullabyand the Blue Danube waltz, always afavorite, were especially enjoyed. Butthe best was reserved for the last. Inresponse to the applause which followed Miss Hempel's last number,and which refused to die down, MissHempel returned and sang "Home,Sweet Home," with the most wonderful simplicity and feeling. At the closeoi this simple yet heart grippingmelody, there were few dry eyes in thetheater and those who hail from otherparts, went back in thought and heartto their native state or land.

Miss Hempel's voice, whether inthe difficult passages of Handel'sCantata and Mozart's Aria or in thesimple lullabys and folk songs wassweet, true and of purest quality, herexecution and technic were absolutelyperfect. If the old Latin proverb,"Ars est celare artem" (it is an art toconceal an art) is to be credited, thenMiss Hempel is, indeed ,a great artist.Surely, not the closest and keenest ob-

server could see any effort on her partas she stood before the audience inher friendly and unaffected mannerand poured forth her golden gift ofsong. The writer has had' the pleas-ure - of hearing Miss Hempel beforeand has also been privileged to hearpractically all the other great artistsof the present day and considers thatMiss Hempel has no superior in thefinish and perfection of her voice.

Mr. Bos and Mr. Fritze also provedthemselves to be artists and their con-

tributions to the program werethoroughly and enthusiastically appre-ciated. They, too, were generous andresponded with encores to the prolonged applause.

The next morning Miss Hempel andher party were taken to SilverSprings by Mrs. T. P. Drake and Mrs.J. W. Dumas, accompanied by severalother Ocala ladies. The entire partywere delighted with the beauties ofSilver Springs and could not praise itenough. Miss Hempel, who is a native of Leipsic, Saxony but now anAmerican citizen, remarked again andagain upon the wonderful beautiesand possibilities of the United Statesand made the statement that in her

OCALA DEFEATED CONCORDIA

Saturday evening, the Ocala girlsbeat the Concordia, girls, 27 to 9, ina hotly contested game of basketball,in spite of the almost freezing temperature. Concordia's guards wereboth good players and so also were itscenters. Ocala's forwards both play-

ed a good game and divided the hon-

ors about even. The game was slowerthan usual because of the numeroustie balls called and the stope causedthereby. Many times the ball wouldbe broken from the. tie just as thewhistle blew but it had to come backand be thrown up. This took up timeand kept the score lower- - than itwould otherwise have been. The at-

tendance was small but probably aslarge as could be expected on such acold night.

TRUANT OFFICER IS A

MERE FIGUREHEAD

With the almost universal adoptionof the school-bu- s begins a long periodof restfulness for the country truantofficer whose duty is to check up onschool attendance. Rainy days, longdistances, and muddy roads no longermake the district school look likedeserted village.

Used now by more than 12,000 consolidated schools, the school-bu- s system is a simple and practical one.

More and more, the truant officer o

these consolidated schools is comingto lead the life of ease.

General use of Dodge Brothers carsand Graham Brothers trucks withDodge Brothers power plant showshow well they are fitted for this seryice, says Mack Taylor, local DodgeBrothers dealer. The proportion ofDodge Brothers cars among the 12,000schools is high, and the reason may befound by taking particular instanceswhere they are used.

By reason of their reliability andeconomical operation, Dodge Brotherscars and Graham Brothers school busare admirably suited to the use ofcountry schools.

ALBERT IS AGGRIEVED

Editor Star: As one of the musiclovers of Ocala, I wish to enter myprotest against the criticism of theFrieda Hempel concert on the 27thinst., contained in the issue of theStar of Jan. 28th.

It' is a 'rare thing for Ocala to befortunate enough to hear singers ofworld renowned celebrity like FriedaHempel, and your write-u- p is calculated to hurt our good little city, from amusical standpoint. Knowing the editor as well as I do, I am 'charitableenough to make due allowance for hislack of knowledge of the subject thathe criticized. .

I think Hempel's rendition of"Home, Sweet Home," ."Dixie" andthe "Blue Danube," was everything tobe desired. When you take into consid-eration the two latter were originallywritten as instrumental and not vocalselections, only the "frue artist" couldhave rendered them as Hempel did. '

- It would have been far better, tohave ignored the entire concert, thanto have written what you did.

Yours very truly,. Albert E. Gerig.

opinion, it is the most marvelousfcountry in the world.During the trip to the springs, it

was learned that Miss Hempel is anenthusiastic golfer and although she,herself, modestly said that she wasonly a beginner, her husband later in-

formed the party that Miss Hempelnaa maae tne Dest recora lor laaiesat Lake Placid, N. Y. Miss Hempelwas driven to the Ocala Country Club,which she admired very much, and ex-

pressed her regret that time did notpermit her to play there.

Miss Hempel and her entire partyexpressed themselves as delightedwith Ocala and Ocala people andpromised to come again if the fateswould permit. ;v.:

The party left for Orlando on thesouthbound limited. They were escorted to the station by the ladies whohad been playing the part of hostessesfor Ocala and these ladies had a de-

lightful surprise when Miss Hempelgave them each an autographed pho-

tograph of herself. '

NEED COUNTY ENUMERATORS

(Associated Press)Tallahassee, Jan. 28. Commission

er of Agriculture W. A. McRae hasissued a request that the commissioners of counties in this state who havenot yet appointed an enumerator forindustrial statistics compiled by theagricultural department biennially, doso at once in order that their coun-ties may be represented in the figures.

Mr. McRae explains that every twoyears .the department makes an enumeration of agricultural, horticultural, livestock and manufacturing industries in Florida, and that the countycommissioners should appoint an enumerator for the work in their respective counties. The statistics are to becompiled at the end of this year.

Fifty-on- e counties have not yetnamed anyone to do the work, Mr. McRae said.

"Some counties have trouble in securing competent men who will do thework for the enumeration for thesalary which it carries," Mr. McRaesaid. "Each county should make ar-rangements that will induce a compe-

tent enumerator to take up the work."These statistics are. called for by

prospective immigrants and investorsmore often than anjr other printedmatter gotten out by the state. Yourcounty is not treated fairly when itis left out of a report. It is to behoped that the public spirited menwill take up this matter in each coun-

ty and secure an enumerator for thisyear."
