OREGON PA(JR FIVE Society, Clubs and Music Edited b Rosalia Keber Phon. 8a Desert Song Presented At Elsinore The most eJaoorate musical pro duction offered in Salem In many years, "The Desert Song," musical sensation of the season and char acterized by John Philip Sousa as the greatest operatic success of the decade, was presented Thursday evening at the EUlnore theater be fore an audience which little more than half filled the auditorium. Those who did attend the oper etta, however, considered themselves fortuna': for the production proved to be of as much or more Interest than the advance notices Indicated. The cast for the production In cludes 150 singers and dancers and is accompanied by a thirty-piece symphony orchestra directed by Cecil Stewart. The. music, written b Sigmund Romberg, as in all light operas, is the important element in the production. The type of mu sic in "The Desert Song" ranges from military songs to lytic roman tic melodies. The stage settings for the produc tion added materially to the inter est. One of the most effective scenes was the farewell ong sung by Red Shadow and his band of Riffs as the sun rose slowly light ing one by one the clouds in the sky and a wider expanse of the tos sins seas and desert shore. The story concerns briefly, the activities of Red Shadow, (Gary C. Breckner), son of the French Gov ernor, (John Merkyl), who leads his band of Riffs through all sorts of Impossible situations occasionally stealing bacx to his father's home to see Marcot Bonvalet (Elvira Tanzil), his father's ward, with whom he has fallen in love. Margot, how ever, after a few years in a French convent, is searching for romance which she does not find at all in Pierre, as the Red Shadow is known at home, who fhe regards as a SDineless creature afraid of fight ing and while she is fond of him ad a "sister" does not consider him at all the outlaw whom she more than half wishes would capture her. At length in a determined hunt for the outlaw leader. Red Shadow, the French soldiers return with Pierre who discloses the fact that he is not the weak creature his father and Margot have thought him to be but is the leader of the Morrocan Riffs for whom Margot has already admitted her love. One of the most beautiful musical numbers of the production was the duet by Margot and the Red Shad ow which closed act one. The comedy element of the pro duction was ably furnished by Ben ny or Benjamin Kidd, former so ciety correspondent of the Paris Herald who landed, and rather pre cipitately, among the Riffs who af ter much cogitation decided to Doftoone his death in order that they might avail themselves of his services as a French spy. His num erous blunders placed him In the most amazing circumstances and at last he decided that he and Susan who has shared many of his predica ments with him, are eminently suit ed for eacn other, an idea which Susan has been attempting to con vey since their first meeting at the Governor's home where she was em ployed as secretary. Th operetta moved rapidly from one scene to another with no wait for shirts oi scenery and the at tention of the audience never fal tered in the slightest from the open ing number of the program until the cl&ce. The music for "The Desert Song" was the outstanding attraction. The chorus work was particularly ef fective. "The Sabre Song" by Mar got, the trio number, "Then You'll Know," sung by Margot, Pierre, and Captain Fontaine; and the duet, "Desert Song," by Margot and Red Bhadow were three of the most in teresting musical numbers, The N'orthwuff Inwt famoul pfduA Folks around the tabic all smile, good cheer rules... when that GOOD coffee is poured.

Paris (IP) When Frenchmen play rootball, exciting things usually happen. So, when a spectator from a game at the Colombes stadium rushed into an adjoining cafe and explained excitedly that a player was gravely injured and needed brandy, the good-natured proprietor did not hesitate. He grabbed a bottle and passed it over the bar. The police are now looking for th good Samaritan. CHEAP CANDY "MENACE" Albany, N. Y CU?)
