Just as thousands nrc being taught tho great stories from the classics, the greaj, pliilys nnd are aided to travel on hind and sea to tho remotest parts of tho glohe while sitting comfortably iiv a cushioned scut, just as they nro hearing and becoming familiar with the works of the old masters and the new, with selections from the operas, grand and light, compositions for orchestra or piano, classical or semi-classical. The possibilities for good in this way nro unlimited. A musician who is pleasing her hearers to a very great extent is Miss Livermorc, nt one of local playhouses.

For eight years Miss Livermore has been perfecting her work as inter pretner of the film stones, playing in the larger cities of northern and southorn California. True to type, she ulso lias a fruit ranch near Sun Joso where but that is really an other story.

"I play right thru tho pictures," sho adds, "as an interruption distracts the attention and is not conducive to the atmosphere the music is intended to induce. The greatest compliment I cun receive is that my audience is so- interested in the piny they' do not not'ee yfthc music particularly. Then I know I have fulfilled my liy sire the, music is part of; the story. There is so much melodious- music tlmkunyoiio -must enjoy why! should we not.pjay that!

When the pic tures are' good, the playing, is not tiresome, because I put myself into the work. When a certain decided atmosphere is requisite, Lean play for hours with no sense of fatigue. That is what I enjoy the most. The serious type of play offers the great er opportunity for good music. A 1 srtffo(iwcnwis Miss Talmadgo's interpretation of the Wife and Daughter, In this .
