whom it enjoyed run Of three months.

undiscovered magnet that attracts the
auditor again and again. The music of
Friend Fritz" was written by Julian
Edwards, the composer OF Jupiter" and
other works. 1t is in perfect harmo n
with the piece and the numbers sung by
Marion Manolh are as delight as
those she was called to sing in ''Boc.
caccio," when she was the prima donna
OF the McCaull Opera Company. The
three stage sets. which are the same as
used in the New York production, are
doubtlessly the most unique ever seen

Arrangements were soon perfected for
this grand track event. The contestants

Tor them to go. With few jumps down
the sidewalk the hare was far in the

the mud turtle, inviting him to start.
but the latter kept in the road and sawed
mud and said nothing. Being in his
natural element, the mud turtle knew he
