TURN TABLES ON MISS MOORE AT STUDIO PARTY THE tables were turned on Miss Georgia Moore yesterday, when her dancing classes, responding to her invitation for a studio Christmas party, took arrangements into their own hands and gave Miss Moore one grand surprise. The program which was arranged and enacted with no assistance whatever from Miss Moore, was in the efficient charge o' the Misses Anita Desch, Velma James and Marcella Marshall. The numbers were all danced with the individual interpretation of the performer, and each was costumed according to her own idea of suitable raiment, and what was nearest of all, every detail was kept from Miss Moore.

It is a noteworthy fact that little outside help was required to present the number Harold Proctor and Fred McPherson, Los Angeles artists, and Miss Miller, constituting the trio. Mrs. Ralph Thynnes and Miss Blanche Gould, Whittier, also took leading roles. The chorus of 70 voices was composed of Whittier singers although the Men's chorus draws somewhat upon outside talent as they have members from Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton. The rendition of the "Messiah," under the direction of Professor Howard L. Hockett of the Whittier college, was the finest thing in music offered that community, and the Men's Chorus is hoping this will be the initial performance of a great Christmas musical festival to be put on each year. Handel says that when he wrote the Hallelujah chorus he saw the gates of Heaven ajar and climped the very God, himself. Certainly that is the effect this music has upon the average audience. It is so grand and majestic in style, so sublime in harmony and yet so gloriously triumphant that the emotions of the hearer are aroused to the greatest heights. When the last trumpet strain of the great Hallelujah chorus trembled away in the distance last night, the large audience turned as one person and silently filed out of the house. The effect was as though a great benediction had descended from Heaven, and the people left with the wonder and awe of this soul inspiring music in their OBTAIN AN ORDER TO EXHUME BODY CHICAGO, Dec. 24—The secret of death which lies in the body of "Billy" McClintock, last of the blood heirs to the "fatal" McClintock millions, will unfold itself in pathological and chemical laboratories here tomorrow to accuse or acquit those close to young McClintock of blame in connection with his recent death.

Investigation of Young McClintock's death, which took place almost on the eve of the day he was to have married Miss Isabelle Pope, was ordered, it became known today after reports of "something wrong" reached the coroner's office.

HELD FOR A Accused of nausea It is so grand and majestic in style, so sublime in harmony and yet so gloriously triumphant that the emotions of the hearer are aroused to the greatest heights. When the last triumphant strain of the great Hallenhijah chorus trembled away in the distance last night, the large audience turned as one person and silently filed out of the house. The effect was as though a great benediction had descended from Heaven, and the people left with the wonder and awe of this soul inspiring music in their hearts. The principal roles of the oratorial were all very pleasingly interpreted and especially effective was the work of Miss Miller, whose sweet, lilting lyric voice was very effective in the difficult soprano numbers. Especially noteworthy was the harmony of the organ and piano played by Miss Grace Dixon and Ivan Knox. These artists are well known in the musical work for their artistic ability and both did exceptionally fine work. Whittier music lovers were so pleased with the production that they are enthusiastic to make it an annual event. Surely it is of great educational value and with the talent procurable in a college town such as Whittier, a big thing could be made of it.
