Met Singer To Appear December 15

Rose Bampton, distinguished dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company who will be here on Dec. 15 when she appears with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, directed by Dr. Arnold Volpe, has scored as definite a success in concert and oratorio performances as she has achieved on the operatic stage. The field of oratorio singing was Miss Bampton's first love and the richness and clarity of her voice and her impeccable musicianship have found perpetual expression in the great oratorios, masses, and other choral works. This gifted artist has been soloist with America's leading orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic under Toscanini, and the Philadelphia Orchestra, under Stokowkski. Her prowess has added lustre to the Cincinnati, Ann Arbor, and Worchestra Music Festivals, and she is a favorite soloist with the Oratorio Society of New York. With her classic vocalism, Mme. Bampton combines a dramatic flair and a power of characterization which makes her an ideal operatic singer. Since her brilliant debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, in 1932, Mme. Bampton has developed into one of the drama's most brilliant exponents. Beginning her operatic career as a mezzo-soprano Mme. Bampton encompassed the role of Amneris in "Aida" and Brangaene in "Tristan und Isolde" as well as the mezzo soprano repertoire of the Italian and French repertoire. During her European tour several years ago Bampton first essayed the part of a full-fledged dramatic soprano, for which her voice had long been preparing. Continental audiences received her with rapt enthusiasm after claiming her Leonora in "Il Trovatore" as one of the most exciting in the history of grand opera.

From Long Beach

Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Macdonald of Long Beach, Calif., arrived Wednesday for a season's stay in the Gables. Accompanied by their two children, Sandra Ann and Robert Taylor, they are the guests of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Irwin, 3925 Ponce de Leon Blvd.

Mario Rubin To Teach Here

Mario Rubini, formerly leading tenor of the Chicago Opera Company will arrive December 14, and open his studios at once. Rubini a pupil of Jean De Reszke of Paris, is the teacher of Florence George, Lanny Ross, John Payne and many other celebrities. For many years Rubini was the confidential consultant of the late Paul Longone general director of the Chicago Opera Company, and assisted him in the selection of new operatic talent. One of the most outstanding of Rubini's present day students is Franz-Joseph Bolinger of Miami, who according to several well known critics has a lyric tenor voice extremely rich in quality, unusual in timber and of such outstanding personality that Maestro Rubini has forecast great things for this Florida man. There will be sight reading classes, for beginners, and voice placement, professional coaching for radio, concert and stage. Private classes and individual lessons.

LITTLE SCOUT HOUSE TO HAVE BIG PARTY

Plans are cooking in the pot for a large housewarming open house on the 14th to introduce the Scout's Little House on Granada Boulevard to a large group of Miamians. The little house is now entirely completed and the big open fireplace will be finished for the party. Mrs. E. F. Hinkley is chairman of the house committee composed of Mrs. George Kinnear, Mrs. Coulter Skinner, Mrs. William H. Mercer, Mrs. John Hinkley and Mrs. Charles Babcock. All troops in the Gables will participate. About 400 invitations will be issued.

How many signal alphabets are used in the Navy? Three. They are the flag, the semaphore and the International Morse. A seaman, first class, is taught all three methods of communication thoroughly.

Selective Service Board Changes Quota Procedure

General Vivian Collins, Director of Selective Service of the State of Florida today announced that a change in the procedure of figuring the quotas or number of men to be furnished by each respective local board for induction was being instigated based on a directive from National Headquaters of the Selective Service System. Previously local boards gross quotas were figured on the basis of the ratio of the total number of registrants in the State. This method was used due to the fact that the total number of Class 1-A men in any local board area could not be determined until all registrants of the board were classified. Beginning on December 1, 1941, gross quotas for all local boards will be computed based on the total number of registrants duly placed in Class 1-A and 1-C. For those boards that have not completed their classification, class 1-A percentage of each individual board is used in determining the estimated number of class 1-A men from the total number of registrants unclassified. The method as used heretofore was provided for in the regulations as is the new method which will be effective December 1st. When the percentage of Class 1-A men is unusually low for a local board, the orginators from State Headquarters will check over the classification records for that board in view of making suggestions where it appears that the work of classifying is not in line with rules and regulations therefor as handed down by National Headquarters. The gross quota of each local board consists of all men on induction who are now in the armed forces and the "net" quota of men who are inducted, these, of course, are all placed by the local boards in Class 1-C. The adjustment in procedure which is to be made on December 1st will raise the quotas of some local boards and in turn will reduce the quotas of other boards. State Headquarters has been advised by National Headquarters that all future quotas will be computed quarterly beginning January 1, 1942, those quotas of the local boards will hereafter be adjusted quarterly. General Collins stated that the new procedure as outlined above will be more practical in the procurement of manpower for Selective Service and the hardship on certain local boards in that requirements of personnel for the armed service.

For Christmas

To spend Christmas in the Barnes and their two children, Adrienne and Wilson Barnes, will be leaving the 19th for two weeks in South Weymouth, Mass., with relatives of Mr. Barnes'.

Fifteen to Open New Year's Eve

After a highly successful summer season in Hendersonville, North Carolina, and a four-week engagement in Baltimore the Fifteen have returned to Coral Gables with elaborate plans for their third consecutive winter season. Once again they will appear at the Theater of the Fifteen, their own playhouse in the Douglas Entrance, in a series of outstanding Broadway successes, which promise to top their achievements of the first two years. The fifteen will open the season New Year's Eve with a New York comedy success to be announced later. There will be a special preview performance Tuesday evening, December 30. This year new productions will open on alternate Wednesdays and run for consecutive nights, with matinees Sundays. Subscriptions for the seven-week season are now on sale at the box office of the Theatre of Fifteen. These may be paid at the convenience of the subscriber either one seat for each season or all the same night.

LESSON-SERMON ANNOUNCED

"God the Only Cause and Creator" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which will be read in Churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world on Sunday, December 7. The Golden Text is: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" (Rev. 4:11). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it:" (Eccl. 3:14 to 2nd:).

G - TALK By BARBARA BROWNE

"Do you think Susie will get it? What about Mason's chances?" On they all talk, trying to see if they can guess who Alma Jane Lindgren will crown at the Pi Chi Queen of Clubs Dance, December 12. Alma Jane was queen last year. To make the selection of the girls with the most poise, beauty, charm, and responsibility even more difficult ten more girls have entered the competition. They are Shirley Haines Goldstron Lucene Gordon, Dot Baker, Mary Jane Sterling, Helen Vance Mary Chesebro Jane Gifford Frances Denley, Catherine Stockwell, and Gretchen Klizzen. Stray Greeks Organize Stray Greek-letter men and women who have no chapter on the U have wandered around with a lost look. Today, a Kappa Sigma Nu from Tennessee has decided. Therefore, he intends to organize a chapter for each unhappy souls which will be called Alpha Omega. Dot Turnbull, Alpha Omicron Pi, from Sophie Newcomb College, and Harvey Cobb, Pi Kappa Phi from Stetson, will assist him. Hmmmm! Sounds like a good idea. Coed, let's. Al Jolsen Cheers At Game Maybe the Hurricanes didn't know it, but they had a famous rooter in the stands last Friday night that was more effective than that famous singer of "Mammy" —Al Jolsen. He thought that the Miami team won a moral victory, anyway. What amused him most were the antics of President B. F. Ashe, Bobsy Hyatt, Joe Popp, and Jimmie Dunn when they danced on the field during the half. He vowed he'd never seen anything like that on a football field before. V. M. I. Last Game Oh, woe! Tonight is our last game. It is sad to think that there won't be another exciting Hurricane battle for gridiron victory until next year. But, as all things do, even football season must come to an end. The tussle tonight with Virginia Military Institute promises to be full of thrills. Mary Louise Yahner and Helen Meekins, as sponsors, will have a close view of the fun. Confidentially, Helen will probably be the most excited spectator at the game for Captain "Kutch" Kearns is her "dearly beloved". A P O, Initiates Six boys were beaming expressions and shining pins this week for they were the new initiates of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity. The happy students are: John Lynn, Donald Kuhl, Leo Greenfield, Ray Knilans, Paul Barnes and Karl Hoff. President Harry Rinehart is brimming over with new ideas for the group because he has just returned from a southern conference at Atlanta, Ga. Finally, after weeks of postponing, the freshmen have elected the class of '44-45 officers. Winners are Barbara Price, secretary; Chad Trafford, treasurer; George Campbell, 1st vice; Dunn, and Ruth Wolkowsky, senators.

Loan Company Formed Here

A new service for Coral Gables, the "Coral Gables Finance Co., Inc." has just obtained the approval of the comptroller of the state of Florida to make personal loans up to $300. Fred H. Denton, the president and general manager of the company, is no stranger to Coral Gables, operating for the past year the City Mortgage Company which handles FHA loans and real estate as well as throughout the Greater Miami area. The Coral Gables Finance Company is a separate corporation with Denton as its president and general manager. The company has its offices at No. 8 San Sabastian, in Ponce de Leon Boulevard and is fully financed and equiped to render quick and efficient service to the residents of Coral Gables. "During the past year I have had so many inquires for personal loans through the mortgage company that I finally decided it was a service that was definitely needed in Coral Gables," Denton said. This is the first personal loan company to maintain an office in Coral Gables. Denton said that he was opening the business at this time to be of service to Gableiter who may need additional cash for Christmas shopping, which can be repaid in installments during the next 18 months.

Dance Marks End Of Grid Games

What promises to be the biggest event of Miami dance ever held is scheduled for Flagler Speedway Park this Saturday night, December 6, from 10 p. m. to 2 a. m., honoring the Hurricane football team after one of their most successful seasons. Officially sponsored by the "M" Club of the University, with Joe Kercheval, club president, and Jack Bell, as co-chairmen, and Dorothy Ashe, daughter of President Bowman Ashe; Mary Frances Walker, the University band's drum majorette; Dorothy Lowe and Mary Elizabeth Anderson as co-sponsors, and the general public is invited to turn out and help honor the Hurricanes, indications point to a capacity crowd. In anticipation of this, the sponsors arranged to stage the frolic at the newly enlarged Flagler Speedway Park, which boasts of what is said to be the largest outdoor terrazzo dance floor in the South, covering virtually the entire infield of the quarter-mile track and accommodating 1,000 couples dancing simultaneously Two orchestras will provide music for continuous dancing. Several jitterbug, rhumba and waltz contests have been scheduled, with cash prizes for the winners.

GOING BUY-BYE?

Dorothy Daniels and Mary M. Sadler, co-owners of the Valencia Dress Shop, are all in a dither over their two new mannequins that now grace their shop. With real hair and "mile" long eyelashes, one is a honey blond, the other a titian haired beauty. And can they model the new frocks the Valencia Shop just unpacked. They are beautiful. One in Christmas red faille crepe is trimmed in soutache braid of matching color in intricate design. Mrs. Sadler and Mrs. Daniels hope some one will name the manikens. Frances Rozen, director of the beauty shop bearing her name in the Seville Hotel, building on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, is adding the Kolestral treatment (exclusive with her shop) for dry brittle hair. This new tube cream has a lanolin base which assures its purity and texture. Frances has just returned from an extensive vacation shop—look a look—see in all of the famous beauty houses in New York. Frances is bubling over with the latest in hair dressing and grooming. If you're looking for that exact "something" for your dining room side board or credenza, Stone's have it—a pair of clear glass compotes with gold leaf covers. These compotes are of generous size—exactly match the "fire" tray (see see the tea standard) thereby making a three piece set. The vases, also trimmed in matching gold leaf. Something new in rings for Gableiters are the carved cameos Paul R. Stegeman, Stegeman's Jewelry Shop, 2304 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, is displaying just now. The rings are beautiful—the cutting and the cameo heads are in new growing colors, not the same old black and white standard that characterized the old time cameos. "Lucious" is the name for the new evening bags now showing at Stone's. They are in gold and silver satin, of generous size. For some reason slippers make the ideal Christmas gift. The Bootery's window show them in satin and gold leather with low heels or low walking type. Of a famous make they are priced below that $3.00 mark.

BILTMORE BRIEFS (Continued from Page 4)

Fair. Here he had charge of 196 patrolmen, nine sergeants, three lieutenants, one acting lieutenant and 14 detectives and directed the transportation problems, which were indeed acute; rapid transit schedules as well as the regular routine police work. This, naturally, was a gigantic task, but Captain O'Neill, a veteran in policing, says it was "like breaking sticks." Now, a young man at 43, Captain O'Neill likes to look back upon his police work, but he enjoys his tasks here at the Biltmore, which is no sinecure. In full charge of our police force here, he is responsible for various small and large details that go into the regulations of a hotel our size, and from what we have seen he handles his responsibilities with a finesse of experience.
