Don Cossack Chorus Will Appear Here October 14 The General Platoff Don Cossack chorus, one of the most famous body of singers in the world, who arrive in Salem October 14 to perform at the high school auditorium under auspices of Community concerts, will, there Is no doubt about it, sing their way into the hearts of Salem in Just the same way they have done in all the most important cities of the world. The reputation of this band of 27 Russians, who are sometimes picturesquely known as the "twenty seven singing horsemen of the Steppes," has preceded them wher ever they have traveled, a fame which is due not only to their bril liant phonograph recordings and sound films, but to their remarkable stage successes. These perfectly matched solo voic es cover the range from high so prano to the lowest bass, singing vivid homespun ballads, opera cho ruses and soldier sonss, with a glad ness and grandeur that Is charac teristic of their race. The choir is really like one great organ, and the conductor, M. Nich olas Kostrukoff, Is, as you might say, the organist. With his mag netic personality he controls the voices as one would the organ stops,' bringing out quick changes in emo tion and strength and hushing the music to almost a whisper. Under his tuition the choir has built up a repertoire of songs, in cluding old Cossack melodies, leg ends of folklore, battle songs and beautiful lullabies, The musical sense of these twenty-seven singers is so keen and the precision of choir singing so clever, that they can pro duce the most delicate tone colors Mrs. L B, Hixon Is Club Hostess The P. L. E. and F. club met with Mrs. L. B. Hixon Thursday eve ning for its first fall meeting. -Af ter a short business session cards were in play, prizes going to Mary Aplln and Daisy Hayden.

An outstanding feature of the en tertainment is the knife dancer, who performs the spirited move ments of the Caucasian Cossacks, carrying twelve knives in his mouth and hands, on his chin, his lips, and his shoulders. This is an art that few dancers can learn. It is a family accomplishment, handed down from father to son in Caucas' ia, from one generation to another. Another attractive feature of the performance is the marvelous whirl- j Following the meeting refresh wind dancing of the singers.
