party Of four, dovotees Of gun and rod
and paddle, We went one July to this
iand Of The Big squatook; aud round
the camp fire one chilly evening when
n sudden north wind had put an alb

ing In n certain sense tho leader Of our
party, was called upon for a story of

CLASSICS At THE CASINO.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEW OPERA BUR
LDsoUE TO BE SEEN THIS WEEK.
"Poor Jonathan" will not be performed IN the
Casino after next Wednesday night Its run closes
with record Of 2OS performances Rudolph Aronson
announces that everything is IN readiness for the
first performance Of the burlesque opereta entitled
"Apollo or the Oracle Of Delphi" on Thursday Full
dress and scenic rehearsals have been held daily for
the last ten days. under the direction of Heinrich Con-
ried. Three scenes have been painted by Henry E.
Hoyt from models fashioned after ancient plates and
historical engravngs. The first act is Castaian
Spring at Delphi with distant view Of the Temple.
The second act is the Temple Of Apollo an interior
view with lfesized statue Of Apollo above the altar
The third scene shows the approach to the temple,
with its massive columns stone steps and the statues
of Minerva and Jupiter. The Greek models have been
followed closely by Nine. Loe who is preparing the
costumes. The music was composed by Josef Helmes-
berger IT, and the book by ]. schnitzer. The English
translation and adaptation is by H. F. Tretbar and
Edgar Smith
The story Of the opera is briefly follows: 1t is
oracle week at Delphi, and AdrasOs, the high priest
of teh temple has chosen Pythla young and beauti-
full maiden, as Apollo's oracle. Dioskuros-man of all
work about the temple-has found in the ancient
archives law the effect that should Pytha permit
herself to be kissed by q man the wrath Of the gods
would be visited upon the offenders and the temple
demolished Pythia has fallen in love with Helos
young Athenian, and Adrastos and DioskurOs are at
their WITS end to separate the lovers. After many
complications, Pythia resigns her place of oracle,
but Is induced by Adrastos to reconsider her deter
mnat on. Helios secures interview with Pythia
and, in defiance of Apollos wrath kisses her. The
gods apparently permitting the challenge to pass
unnoticed, Pytha renounces Apollo and the popu'
lace enraged the failure of the festival are on the
verge of riot Doskuros averts the danger by an
nouncng that the temple will close for the season TO
be altered into an amusement palace to be devoted
TO the free entertainment of the people Of Delphi.
In the cast will be Miss Lillian RUSSELL Miss Louise
