PROGRAM MAKING
IMPORTANT SAYS
RAYMOND HAVENS
“I believe that many pianists are
swept from the concert platform from
lack of skill in building their pro
grams, rather than for the faults of
their performance.” This is the em
phatically expressed opinion of Ray
mond Havens, one of the big pianists
of the day who comes to city hall
next Monday evening in joint con
cert with the internationally famous
soprano, Lucy Marsh.
He believes the art of program
building has not received sufficient
attention and that the failure of so
many piano recitals is due to the dull
and uninteresting numbers some
artists place on their programs.
Mr. Havens, himself, is a master j
builder when it comes to programs. !
He has planned an especially delight
ful one for his coming Augusta en
gagement. It contains old standard'
favorites that the masters of the pi- |
,ano have made familiar for years
past and it contains some new ones
that will surprise and delight the au
dience.
Lucy Marsh, whose remarkable
Victor records have made her a fav- 1
orite from coast to coast, cannot fail
to create a sensation here with her
wonderful soprano voice. One sel
dom hears such a pure limpid voice
with such freshness of quality. She
sings with a minimum of effort and
every note is as pure as a bell* She
has in her voice that which singers of
the coloratura type lack—a rich sym
pathetic quality. The numbers she
has selected for her Augusta concert
| are gems.
With every indication of a capac
ity audience at city hall Monday
! evening, one can make no mistake in
securing reserved seats at once. Not
for years, at least, has Augusta had
so fine a musical offering.—Adv.
CHAPLAIN CAREY URGES
AID FOR EX-SOLDIERS
Rev. James A. Carey, formerly of ;
Hallowell, and the chaplain of the
Milliken regiment, later the Pioneer
Infantry, for whom every man in the
regiment who knew him, has love
and respect, spoke recently at a
meeting of the American Legion
Post in Portland, the Harold T. An
drews Post He urged taking steps
to aid the ex-service men. The
Portland Kxpress speaks of his ad
dress as follows:
“Rqv. James A. Carey, chaplain of
the post, in an address to the gath
ering last evening declared that if
l-eports. about the neglect of ex-ser
vice men were true, someone was
; criminally negligent and that steps
should be taken within the authority
CHALLENGE SALE TO HOLD OVER
TODAY-MANY SHIPPERS BRAVE
STORM OPPORTONITY FRIDAY
Opportunity Day,' the second day of
the widely advertised Augusta Chal
lenge Sale, saw the first real snow
storm of the year 182L, Yet In spite
of the cutting flakes driven, by the
northeast wind, the lure of the excep
tional bargains offered by the mer
chants throughout the city drew a
considerable number of out of town
people. Had the weather prophet been
considerate enough to stall off the
storm, there is no doubt but what the
large crowd of Thursday would have
been doubled and the city over
whelmed with eager shoppers, attract
ed by the unusually good values of
fered.
Yet, taking It all In all, the storm
was not without its blessing, for most
of the merchants have signified their
intention to prolong their bargains for
another day—today. Those who "were
unable to look over the values because
of the storm of yesterday are given
the chance to take their pick of them
today. Combined with regular Sat
urday sales which will be in progress
all over the city today, the prolonga
tion of the Challenge Sale prices gives
to every man, woman and child
throughout Kennebec Valley an op
portunity to procure innumerable ar
ticles at £■ saving that cannot be rea
dily equalled in the State.
The first annual Challenge Sale of
the City of Augusta will long be re
membered. Never before in this "off
season” of the year has such a sale
been attempted, yet it is now recog
nised as a distinct success, a success
that can only be equalled by the sec
ond annual Challenge Sale a year
from now.
of the post to remedy the situation.
He suggested that the post endeavor
to locate the fault and to report the
findings to the proper officials. It
was voted last night to postpone un
til the April meeting the obligating
ceremonies planned for last evening

members who are in good standing.”
