HE RAN AWAY.
How Frank Valerga Escaped the
Honor Of Citizenship at Presi-
dent Kruoers Hands.

Frank Valerga says that to fight and
run away is not such bad principle when
you have no interest in the result of the
fight, but he thinks that better principle
is TO run away before the fight comes off
at all. Valerga speaks from experience.
for if he had not departed from Johannes
burg without standing on the order OF his
going it is his opinion that instead OF
singing with the Philharmonic Society at
the Baldwin tonight he might have been
chanting with angelic choirs.
1t is not far short of decade since
Frank Valerga lett the Tivoi and went
East with the .Said Pasha' company.
From that time till now he has never been
heard in opera in this City. though he has
almost circumnavigated the globe with
different operatic companies and has met
with many exciting adventures By the
wav.
For nun ber of months he belonged to
a stock operate company at the Gaiety
Theater, Johannesburg, and il was only a
playful little habit the Beers have Of en-

Columbia 'Theater.

The new Frawley Company opens it's
season at the Column bia Theater to-mor-
row night with Hadden Cham bers' melc-
drama, "The Fatal Card An elaborate
scenic production is promised. There is
a strongly marked love romance running
through the play, which is said to contain
more human interest than most melo-
dramas. The hero Is placed in many
dangerous positions, and as such a des-
perate fight 10 right himself and win his
sweetheart that the usual meodramatic
element ofsuspense is well in evidence.
In the last act young man has tracked
the murderer OF his father, and discovers
that the father of his affianced wife is the
guilty man. He is caught by the band of
which the murderer is the head, and,
bound to a post, Is about to be killed by
an Internal machine, when the girls
father finds in the lovers pocket one-half
of the ace of clubs. This torn card was
given by the murderer some years before
to the lover, who had rescued him from a
mob oflynchers in the Rocky Mountains.
In an attempt TO remove the Internal ma
chine and save the lovers life, the father
is blown 10 pieces. which is very expe-
ditious and melod ramatic way OF dispos-
ing of an undesira BILE father-in- law elect.
