One Of the brilliant theatrical events
of the coming week will be Miss Olga

when she will present for the grea ter part
OF the week the play OF Carmen" in
which she made such a pronounced SEN

local theatergoers will have To see the
gifted young English actress as the hero
inc OF Bizet's romance. She will appear as
Carmen on Monday, Tuesday, WedBes-
day and Thursday evenings and Saturday

peat her splendid performance OF Ca

goers are already familiar and on Saturday
night, which will be her farewell perform
ance, a special bill will be offered, the
character Of W hich is not yet ready for

sensational theatrical events of recent

discussion and comment through any one
performance

Sir Charles Young. the author of .'Jim,"
in giving the world this pen picture of the
dual life OF one OF the sciOns of London
