Sometimes your heart gets hungry for music, just as your body craves food. It used to bc that when such an appetite appe-tite came along, you would stay hungry until some kindly person who could sing or play gave you a. more or less palatable meal of. music. But In these wonder- days you sit down In your easy chair and let the Victor ppen for jyou tho door of music's storehouse turn your home Into a musical wonderland. It makes no difference what class of music you want to hear, you get it In Its most beautiful form. In the 'August list of new Victor records, for instance, there are band and orchestra, music. instrumental solos, grand opera arias, vocal and Instrumental medleys from favorite operettas, popular songs, sacred music everything that the heart desires, played and sung by tho h world's greatest artists.

' name of "Allfl March." and there 1b an ' t ' irresistible swing about this selection which will appeal to every one. The Victor Light Opera company adds to its laurels by the two splendid records it j has given of tho "gems" from Victor Herbert's popular "Mile. Modiste." and ". from that most famous of all tho Gilbert- i Sullivan operettas, "Thc Mikado," which has been revived with great success In ' New York. , Owing to the fact that Salt Lake did ; not have an auditorium to accommodate a large gathering, which permitted low I prices of admission, with tho exception J of tho tabernacle, -which has not always been available and on the other hand not always suited to single artist re- ' citals, wo have been prevented from hearing great artists. Salt Lake citl- ' zens will not pay the price that has 1 ' heretofore been charged. If present plans aro perfected Salt Lake will have the opportunity of hearing some of thc world's greatest slngera and Instrumental soloists at popular prices. A representative of one of the biggest musical bureaus of the east was In the city Investigating the various auditoriums for such purposes. Architects and authorities au-thorities on accoustic properties have been4 looking over tho Odeon auditorium, nnd all are confident that this will be m Just the place. They estimate that tho capacity will bo from 1800 to 2000, El It is proposed .that one price of ad- ffi mission be mado, as one seat will not II bo in any way superior to the other, and Rj with these advantages It will bo pos- M slble to present the greatest artists tour- f lng tho country at minimum prices, At tho tabernacle concerts this week h Assistant Organist Edward P.
