There is a fine sale of seats, indi-
eating that tri-city people appreciate
that splendid production, FL Captain,
to be at the Burtis this evening. That
the public likes FL Captain there can be
no DENYING. Crowded houses have
offered up incense of enthusiastic APP
plause and almost incessant laughter
at every performance. FL Captain is
an American triumph, musically the
greatest opera in the line of typical
American music ever orchestraed. 1t
reflects the martial temperament of
the American nature as no other pre-
tentious comic opera work has ever
attempted, and for this inspiring gift
America has to thank Sousa, truly
