Gottfried Herbst Violinist Will Ap
pear At The Methodist Church
Tuesday Night
Professor Herbst, who will appear
in a concert at the Methodist church
next Tuesday evening, was born in
Muelhausen, Gorman y. As a boy he
was interested in playing a cornet.
He mastered it, playing the difficult
triple tongue as easily as most boys
simply toot. His attention while still
very young was turned to the violin
and in a short time ho became as pro
ficient with that instrument as with
the cornet. When only nineteen years
old ho appeared in concerts in the
leading cities of ihis own country and
thoBO surrounding. He was nailed
one of the continent's greatest violin
ists. He is still a young man but has
held many positions carrying respons
ibility, groat honor, and calling for
not only groat musical ability but
powers of leadership as well. Ho was
engaged as soloist and concail mas
ter in symphony and opera orchestras
in Germany, Sweden and Switzerland.
His last positions were in the court
operas of Coburg, and Saxe -Weimar,
lie has ulso had wide experience as
orchestra conductor.
As a soloist ho is unsurpassed. He
technique and knows . how to use it.
Still, unlike others who have great
control of their instruments, Prof.
Herbst puts into his music a warmth
of tone and wealth of feeling so that
one almost believes a violin has a soul.
The following extract is character
istic of all press comments concern
ing Prof, lleibst:
In the first part of the program

LOUISE LOVELY IN BRAND
WHITLOCK STORY.
When the Butterfly picture, "The
Field of Honor," is shown at the Ar
cade theatre on Sunday we shall see
the filmization of a story of our own
Civil War, wiittcn by no. less a per
sonage than Brand Whitlock, who was
United State3 Minister to ill-fated
Belgium at the time of the outbreak
of the present European conflict. The
tale is a powerful one of the contrast
between two young men, 'brought up
'A Major by Sindi'ng, and the sfceond in the snm3 town, and how the civil

"TIE UNBORN" AT " THE
COLONIAL TODAY
T
"The Unborn," the powerful birth
control feature, is at the Colonial
theatre today and tomorrow. Thou
sands have already viewed the mueh-talked-of
picture and much favorablo
comment has been heard.
Marked by its startling frankness,
"The Unborn-' has proven itself to
be a mighty agency against the. pre-
mediated destruction of the unborn.
The warning and moral the picture

entire production and can easily be
absorbed by tlioio nf mature mind.
"The Unborn" is con-pioii.ius among
